Kingdom people are people who are living out the beatitudes.

 

Kingdom people are persecuted people.

  • Physical
  • Insults
  • False words

 

Kingdom people are blessed when persecuted.

  • Persecution brings us deeper assurance. [2 Timothy 3:12]
  • Persecution brings us stronger impact. [Matthew 5:13-14]
  • Persecution brings us greater reward. [Matthew 10, 12]

 

Take Home Idea: Kingdom people are persecuted people who recognize their future kingdom benefits.
