Ever felt like doing the right thing just brings you more trouble? In this message, we look at Jesus' words from the Sermon on the Mount, where He says, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake." We'll explore how standing firm in our faith, even when it’s tough, isn't something to fear but a reason to rejoice. Persecution reminds us that we belong to the kingdom of heaven and that our reward is great. It’s all about staying strong, loving our enemies, and letting Jesus’ love shine through us, no matter what the world throws our way.
