Episode Synopsis

Sometimes what we need to hear is not what we want to hear.That’s how I personally feel about the passage from the Bible I am preaching on this Sunday. How is that for an encouragement to worship at Redeemer this Sunday?Peter is telling us that the Christian life is more dangerous than we realize, and that the comfort and safety we long for in this life is not guaranteed. Thanks, Peter! That’s not really what we wanted to hear. However, Peter does promise us that what is guaranteed is better than any fleeting comfort and safety this life could provide. Read 1 Peter 5:6-11. Meditate on it. Talk to God about it. Listen to God speak through it.This is not a message I want to hear, but it is one I desperately need to hear.I can’t wait to worship together.Pastor David
