Overview  November 13, 2005  Blessed Are the Persecuted

This message was preached on the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church.   It emphasizes that the perscution of Christians is not something that happened long ago but contnues today at an alarming rate.  Yet Jesus told us that just as they persecuted Him so they would persecute us. Comparatively speaking we experience very little persecution in this country, but we need to be informed about our brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering for their faith so we can pray for them.
