Summary
What does it really mean to follow Jesus when faith isn’t convenient? In this message, Pastor Bart launches the Relentless series by reminding us that the global Church is one body and when believers suffer anywhere, it matters everywhere. Drawing from Jesus’ words in Matthew 5, we’re challenged to see that persecution is not a failure of faith, but often a sign of faithful living. Following Jesus creates friction, blessing doesn’t always mean comfort, and pressure often comes before persecution. Yet Jesus invites His followers to choose joy, stand firm, and live with conviction rather than comfort. This message calls us to pray with persecuted believers, participate in God’s mission, stay aware, and commit to the way of Jesus even when it costs.
