The Gooch Lane church of Christ is a group of people in Madison, Alabama seeking to study the Bible and put God’s teachings into practice. We’d love to have you join us for Bible study and worship.

As Jesus completed His discussion of the Beatitudes, He stated that those who find the kingdom of God are those who are willingly persecuted for righteousness’ sake. This is the culmination of everything discussed in this section of the Lord’s Sermon. Willingness to endure pain for the cause of Christ is characteristic of one who has been emptied of self and fully filled with the principles of godliness.
