Suffering is a part of our lives every single day. How is it that Peter calls the Christian to “rejoice" in suffering? How do we suffer well? Is suffering because God is mad at us? Shouldn’t a Christian be happy? The verses in this teaching address some of these questions, while also helping us to look upon Jesus. Are you suffering now? This message is right for you.

From Series: "God's Way (West)"

The Book of 1 Peter was written to a church that was facing serious trials and turmoil (not unlike our world today). The hardships they were confronted with had them doubting God’s grace and made them fearful of their future. Peter reminded them that this world would never truly be their home (or ours) because they were citizens of heaven. We must put our ultimate hope in Christ as we live in the tension of being in the world, but not of the world. This ten-week series will help us successfully navigate the messed up society we’re in and experience lives of joy and hope as we learn to follow God’s Way!
