Persecuted for a Purpose | 11am

The final beatitude is not an afterthought—it’s the culmination of everything Jesus has been teaching. Each step in the Beatitudes—being poor in spirit, meek, merciful, pure in heart, hungry for righteousness—leads us here. When we truly live out these kingdom values, it often puts us at odds with the world around us. But Jesus reminds us: you’re blessed even when it hurts. This message will encourage you to: See persecution not as punishment, but as proof of progress. Embrace courage in your convictions. Find deep hope in eternal perspective. Let’s finish this series strong—together.
