Text: Matthew 10:16-39
Jesus calls His disciples to follow Him, but in doing so He warns us of the external conflicts we will face as we do so. Because Satan is opposed to the things of God, he seeks to devour all who follow Jesus as Lord. As we face these conflicts, it would be easy to focus on the negative aspects of these hardships, but in this message Jesus presents several truths that encourage and empower all who live for Him. Because of Jesus, we don’t have to live in despair when the attacks come. Instead, we can live with confidence in who He is, what He has done, what He has promised, and what He will do. We invite you to listen today and place your confidence in Christ.
