be in Matthew chapter 5 verses 10 through 12.

I'll go ahead and read and he'll take it from there.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom

of heaven blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds

of evil against you falsely on my account rejoice and be glad for your reward is great

in heaven for so they persecuted the prophets who are before you amen we've dealt with a lot

of persecution our entire marriage we thought you know at first maybe it's just because

people don't like us but they may realize that there's something in us that they see

that they don't like so today we're going to talk about the need for persecution the

problem with persecution and then the solution for persecution on how to deal with it.
