Read Acts 7:54-60. Do you know someone that has been persecuted specifically for the cause of Christ?

Jesus tells us in John 15:18-16:4, Jesus tells us that if we are abiding in Him and obedient to His Word, we will be hated, persecuted, and even killed. Have you personally experienced any persecution due to your faith in Jesus?

This morning, we discussed our responses of rejoicing and boldness in the midst of persecution. (Matt. 5:11-12; Phil. 1:21-26) What does it look like to respond this way in 2021?

The general rule in Scripture is to be bold with our preaching. Can you think of references that teach us to be silent or say little regarding Gospel proclamation?

We discussed the fact that in Scripture, persecution of the believers always brings about salvation for others. Are you willing to walk into persecution in order that the lost are saved?
