Scripting the Flip - The Beatitudes - Part 9

Northwest Hills Community Church

Youth Pastor Gary Jones continues a series on the Sermon on the Mount. In the last Beatitude (Matthew 5:10-12), Jesus teaches us to rejoice when persecuted for righteousness' sake. It's a surprising call, but it comes with an incredible promise: the kingdom of heaven.

Today, we'll explore how to embrace suffering, welcome it as part of our faith journey, and respond not with bitterness but with joy and steadfastness.
