Persecution is not the end of the story—it’s part of faithfully following Jesus. In this message, Pastor Bob Smith unpacks Matthew 5:10–12, reminding us that persecution is not a sign of failure but of faithfulness. Discover why Jesus calls the persecuted ‘blessed,’ how the kingdom of heaven sustains us in trials, and how to rejoice when the world pushes back against the light of Christ.
