Outline 

Hook: Have you ever been made fun of or disadvantaged because of your faith?

I. PERSECUTION
"An index of the Church's fidelity to her master is her indigestibility. When the world accepts the Church, the Church is no longer the Church." - Peter Kreeft

II. GLUTTONY
"A glutton is one who raids the icebox for a cure for spiritual malnutrition." - Frederick Buechner

III. THE KINGDOM
"The gospel of the kingdom is that no one is beyond beatitude, because the rule of heaven is available to all." - Dallas Willard

Application: "We reject the comfortable conformism of fitting into whatever the majority is doing, and we take instead the nonconforming narrow way of living out the difficult truths requiring faith and love." – Eugene Peterson
