Faith Under Fire

from Gospel Baptist Church Hosted by Gospelbc

Pastor Nick Decker | Matthew 5:10-12 In this message, Pastor Nick Decker explores Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:10–12: “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness.” Following Jesus doesn’t promise an easy life; it means staying faithful when our convictions bring opposition. Pastor Nick explains that persecution comes because of our allegiance to Christ—not simply because people disagree with us—and challenges us not to retaliate, retreat, or grow resentful, but to rejoice. We can face persecution with hope because it affirms our place in God’s kingdom, associates us with generations of faithful believers, and points us toward the eternal reward Jesus promises. Following Jesus is worth the cost.
