The Persecution Paradigm (Part 1)

In Matthew 10:5-15, as Jesus prepared to send His disciples out on a gospel mission to the region of Galilee, He told them that they should withdraw from those towns and villages that were hostile to their message. But what should happen when the disciple can't withdraw? What should the disciple do when they are pursued by those they've preached the gospel to? In short, how should the disciple respond to persecution? In the following message Ryan explores Jesus' answer to this question in the first part of a two-part message from Matthew 10:16-23, "The Persecution Paradigm."
