Beatitudes - Those Who Are Persecuted
from Presence Church Teachings Hosted by Presence Church
What does it look like to live boldly for Jesus when you face opposition, even if that opposition is social, not physical? In the final week of our Beatitudes series, Pastor Ben Mueller explores Jesus’ words: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness…” (Matthew 5:10–12) and connects them with Paul’s final encouragement to Timothy: “Do not be ashamed… join with me in suffering for the gospel… by the power of God.” (2 Timothy 1). From the story of the 21 Egyptian martyrs, to modern moments of awkwardness, resistance, and discouragement, this message reframes persecution as a kingdom blessing. You will hear a call to reject timidity, identify where shame is creeping in, and build a real, lived relationship with Jesus, because we don’t stay silent about what we truly love.
