A Righteous Man's Reward

This sermon examines Jesus' instructions to His disciples in Matthew 10, emphasizing the necessity of being wise as serpents and harmless as doves while facing inevitable persecution. The message highlights that believers should not fear those who can only kill the body, but rather revere God, who holds authority over the soul and eternity. It addresses the tension between familial loyalty and allegiance to Christ, asserting that Jesus must remain the ultimate priority even if it causes division within households. The text concludes with the assurance that confessing Christ before men leads to His confession of the believer before the Father, while denying Him results in eternal loss, encouraging believers to endure with hope and perform acts of kindness in His name.
