Rejoice! Our Reward Is Great! (Matthew 5:10-12)

Nobody likes to be persecuted.  However, Christians are the #1 persecuted group in the world today.  Yet, Jesus said we're to rejoice and be glad.  Is persecution for following Christ in my life inevitable?  How can I deal with it?  Where does the joy and gladness come from so I can honor Christ with my life?  Come together with us as we aim to be fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.  The reward is great!
