John 16:25-33 | Taking Heart in the Midst of Tribulation | Curtis Henry | Sep. 28, 2025

This week, we pause to reflect on the powerful lives of faithful leaders who have recently gone home to be with the Lord—Voddie Baucham, Charlie Kirk, John MacArthur, Phil Robertson, and James Dobson. Their bold witness reminds us that even in seasons of loss and hardship, God is still at work drawing people to Himself.

 

In John 16:25-33, Jesus tells His disciples plainly that trouble is coming—but He also gives them the promise of peace: “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

In this message, we look at:

The assurance of direct access to the Father through Jesus Christ
The reality of trials, persecution, and cultural opposition to the gospel
Why fearing God more than man gives us courage to stand firm
How to welcome and disciple those God is bringing into His family right now
If you’ve been wrestling with fear, pressure, or uncertainty, this message is for you. Jesus is our peace in the storm, and He has already overcome the world.
