Beatitudes Part 8: Blessed Are Those Who Are Persecuted

In this message, we dive into Jesus' powerful words from Matthew 5:10-12, where He tells us to rejoice when we face criticism, insults, or even persecution for doing what’s right. Sounds tough, right? But Jesus promises there’s a huge reward waiting for us in heaven.

We’ll talk about how to stay strong when the world pushes back, and—more importantly—how to respond with grace instead of getting caught up in offense. From standing firm in our faith to letting our light shine in the face of negativity, this message is all about learning to live with joy and purpose, even when the going gets tough. Plus, we’ll share practical tips on forgiving, loving your enemies, and keeping your eyes on the bigger picture.
