Teacher: Matt Wideman. Welcome! This Sunday, we delve into 1 Peter 4, where Peter encourages believers facing trials to embrace suffering as a means of reflecting Christ and growing in faith. He reminds us that following Jesus, though challenging, is always worth it. By adopting Christ's mindset, living for God's will, and serving others, we find purpose and hope in the midst of hardship. Peter also emphasizes prayer, love, and hospitality, urging believers to entrust themselves to God while doing good. Suffering refines and strengthens our faith, preparing us for eternal glory. No matter the trials we face, the assurance of God's faithfulness makes the journey worthwhile. Keep climbing—the summit is worth it! In this series, we're focusing on the main theme of 1 Peter: As God's chosen people, believers are called to endure suffering with hope, following in the footsteps of Christ, trusting that their trials serve to sanctify them and prepare them for the glory to come.
