Facing Persecution

As we continue in our series, “Forged,” JP reminds us that Christians must lean closer to God in times of suffering because He is sanctifying us. JP looks to 1 Peter to show us five things we should not do in suffering. As we seek to become more like Christ, we must rejoice in suffering because our Savior suffered for us on our behalf.

1 Peter 4:12-19

       1) Do not be surprised in suffering

       2) Do not be discouraged in suffering

       3) Do not be guilty in suffering

       4) Do not be ashamed in suffering 

       5) Do not suffer outside of God’s will because our Savior suffered for us on our behalf.
