DID YOU MISS THE MESSAGE FROM YESTERDAY?
As we continue our series on the Beatitudes, we learn about Christ’s blessing over those who are persecuted. As you look at church history, or in other countries around the world you see countless examples of extreme persecution. However, in our modern American context, we see a perhaps more subtle version of persecution expanding into our HR policies, social media feeds, and the like. In a world that is offended by righteousness and the Christian’s claims of Christ’s exclusivity as the way to freedom, our efforts to follow Jesus and cling to His words will increasingly set us against the current standards of our culture.
If you did miss the talk from Sunday, you can view it now through our website, click here. You can also view the message through our YouTube page or Audio Podcast. Be sure to check out the Sermon Application Guide to talk things over with your Community Group or family.
