Matthew 10:24-33. We face many challenges as we confess Jesus with our words and actions. But the Father's great care for us gives us courage. So don't compromise your faith, rather couragously confess Christ. Parts: A. Expect cruel opposition. B. Count on the final outcome. Preached on July 17, 2011, for the Fifth Sunday after Pentecost, at St. John's Ev. Lutheran Church (WELS), Hancock, MN.
