Summary

When we receive the backlash that can come from speaking up about our faith, it's easy to think, "Next time, I'll stay quiet." But that's not the choice God calls us to make. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what to expect when we obey the Lord. He shares about the life of leaders like Moses, Peter, and John the Baptist to illustrate how perseverance through persecution is where we find spiritual growth and deeper faith. The Bible clearly tells us that, even though it's not easy to follow Jesus, the only way we can change ourselves, our communities, and our broken culture is to humble ourselves and walk with the Lord.
