Understanding Christianity

In the fourth Beatitude in Luke 6, Jesus gives the shocking blessing of being persecuted. In this timely message, Pastor Sean answers three questions. (1) What is the exact nature of the persecution? (2) What is the root reason for the persecution? (3) Why is it a joy to be persecuted?

He addresses some controversial current issues of how our Christian liberties have been suppressed in our culture.
