Sermon Info:
Continuing Peter’s teaching on suffering as a Christian… We see that God as a good Father turns our suffering to our good to prepare us for our future with him. In suffering God is preparing us for future glory, preparing us to escape future judgment, and preparing us for present service. We close with some ways to better entrust yourself to God when you experience suffering.

When living for the will of God, you will face opposition from the world, especially in the form of verbal criticism. In this passage we will see how Peter warns us to expect suffering and to properly interpret suffering, so that we can bear insults together with confidence and compassion.
