Sermon: The Menace (Matthew

In this passage Jesus gives a warning and instructions to His disciples concerning their mission. Delivering God's message of hope and salvation to the world will bring them persecution and hardship. But they were not to fear, because God was with them.
"On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you."
