“A Faith Worth Suffering for” by Dominic Prete
About this episode
Pastor Dominic Prete discusses the themes of persecution and righteousness in the context of following Jesus.
Pastor Dominic Prete closes The Beatitudes series with a message from Matthew 5:10-12 about persecution, righteousness, and the reward of following Jesus. This sermon challenges us to distinguish consequences from true persecution, live unashamed of the gospel, and remember that our ultimate reward is seeing Christ face to face.
