Sermons About Materialism
Against All Odds
If you're going to live out the beatitudes in this world, then you will endure some sort of persecution or suffering on behalf of Jesus. The true nature of this world, being evil, opposes the goodness & justice of God's ways - a paradox that may not make sense, but it's true. We should not only expect resistance, but we should be thankful for it - because it proves we're on the right track. The church following Christ against all odds will be the church that sees the kingdom reign of God today! So, will you live, work, think, give, consume differently? BE different. Key passage: Matthew 5:10-12
