Stand Firm: Joy In Suffering

While Jesus told his followers that they would receive an abundant life through Him, that doesn’t mean we have a life free from suffering. In fact, Peter uses the word suffer or suffering sixteen times in his letter. Further, Peter stated that he was the witness of not the great miracles of Jesus, but the suffering of Jesus. This sermon looks at what suffering is and how we should approach this unavoidable part of life in a hopeful manner.
