Persecution - November 7, 2021

This Sunday is dedicated to the persecuted church. In today’s message I want to look at what both the Bible and history has to tell us about why Christians are persecuted; how we should respond to persecution; and where is God when his people are persecuted.

Here are the Bible passages that were used in the preparation of this message:
