Blessed Persecution, Pt. 2 (Matthew 5:10-12)
Persecution, in all its forms and various degrees, is and has been the experience of the righteous ever since the blood of Abel was shed by his brother Cain. We often respond to ridicule, harassment, and other forms of persecution with anger, resentment, retaliation, and judgment. However, this is sin and we need to come to grips with the Lord's commands in Matthew 5:10-12 and respond with rejoicing, gladness, and graciousness. It is not easy and it certainly is not something we do in our own strength; it is a fruit of grace in the heart. The Christian, however, has a hope in heaven and a reward from the Lord for humble obedience that is our true hope and encouragement as we live out our faith in the midst of a hostile world.

The church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a worshipping congregation. 4. The church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a persecuted congregation. 5. The church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a protected congregation.

It’s common to have a false sense of security about your spiritual condition, that you are just fine, for reasons that look pretty good and convincing. Be wary of privileged presumption.

When I Get Enough
In this last sermon on Philippians, Paul shows how the gospel changes everything—our relationships, our finances, our perspective on what God is doing in our lives. In Jesus, God is bringing heaven to earth, and enabling us to experience heaven in our own lives today. He does this by providing for all of our needs in glory in Christ Jesus.
