Matthew

"Blessed are the those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." -Matthew 5:10

God makes many promises to us and he is true to each and every one.  He says we are His children because of His mercy through Jesus Christ, His Son.  Salvation is a promise... a free gift from God.  He also promises that when we follow Christ, we will suffer in this very broken world.  How do you feel about that?  Dig into God's Word with Pastor John David today.
