Sermon: When the Macedonian Call Gets Dangerous (John Telgren)

Acts 16:16-40: Since we as Christians are not of this world, and the world loves its own but not Christ, we can expect persecution when we follow Christ fully. The characteristic Christian response to persecution is confident faith, persistent focus, and public pride, as is demonstrated by Paul and Silas in Philippi. We reject the fear and shame the world attempts to place on us for our faithfulness to our Lord.
