1 Peter: Joy in The Face of Suffering

This week we launch a new series through 1 Peter. In this epistle, Peter says some astonishing things to people experiencing suffering and persecution. Perhaps most shocking is this statement: “In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials.” I read that and think, “What? Rejoice during rejection, unjust treatment, cancer, the loss of a loved one? How is that possible?” I hope you will join us and invite friends this Sunday at 9am or 11am as we discover how to find God’s joy amid suffering.
