The Cost of the Peacemaker: Persecution

Too many believers are following Christ, but at a distance. We’re close enough to see God’s power, but too far to experience his fellowship. In Matthew 5, the scripture inspires us to be peacemakers, but also exhorts us that there will be persecution that comes in following Christ. What we learn though is that challenges actually lead to purpose.

Today we lean in to both the scripture as well as stories of those who have walked through persecution. We pray you are both challenged and encouraged to go all in, in your pursuit of Christ and to live boldly in your faith.
