This series has now concluded,
but comments can be left in the Response facility at the foot of the page.
A subsequent online presentation entitled 'Preparing for Persecution' was given by Rev. Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo on 25 March 2024. The text of the excellent address can be found here. Patrick had a throat infection at the time which made speaking difficult for him and the recording talk itself is not available.
-----------------
Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. (Eph. 6:13)
CHRISTIANS and Christianity in the West is increasingly coming under attack. In this context, it could be helpful to believers to look into the nature of and issues arising from persecution.
Pastor Andrew Brunson is an American church planter who was arrested and imprisoned in Turkey for two years and has both written a book and published a course on his experiences and lessons learned.
We have now embarked on an online series of meetings working through the videos and teaching material over an 8-part ‘Prepare to Stand’ video series run over a Thursday evening of each week.
You may wish to purchase Brunson’s book ‘God’s Hostage’; sub-titled ‘A true story of persecution, imprisonment and perseverance’.
You can obtain the Series Outline here and click on the headings to access the respective video.
Also a 'Study Guide' has been written by American pastor Rev. Dr. Brad Strait. The left hand margin also has these links.
The following video gives a short introduction to the course below.
