SERMON DESCRIPTION

On this Passion (Palm) Sunday, Peter warns that not all suffering is Godly suffering. Sin can also cause suffering. It’s important to suffer for right and righteous reasons, not for unrighteous reasons. But if we suffer for Christ, then this is what we are called to, and is commendable before God. The difference is significant! We get our cues for this from Christ’s journey to the cross.

SERIES DESCRIPTION

First Peter is a primer for Christians for how to handle suffering. Peter writes to the suffering Christians of Asia Minor who are under a variety of hardships. Peter doesn’t ‘pray it away’ but offers a victorious way THROUGH suffering. We will look at the strategies Peter suggests and employ them in our own life and walk with God.
