Is Suffering God's Will? Part 1
January 8, 2022
It’s no secret that Christians in the past faced suffering and persecution. They certainly did in Peter’s day! The first century Roman world was hostile to Christianity to put it mildly. And we face it today in case you haven’t noticed. We can count on the enemy coming against us. So How should we respond? First Peter chapter three answers that for us.

We’re in the middle of a study in First Peter. The believer is no stranger to suffering, especially in recent months. But God never promised this life would be easy for us. However, there’s a comforting promise you can cling to at such times, and it’s this: God’s eyes are on us, and His ears are open to our prayers. Be encouraged by that now, as we join pastor Jeff in chapter three, at verses 10-13.

From our early days in Sunday School many of us have heard time and time again the story of Joshua and the battle of Jericho.

Jeff Johnson heads back to Joshua on this Tuesday. The Lord called Joshua to lead His people into the Promised Land, and there were certainly battles involved. But it was important for the people to realize- the battle was the Lord’s. Oh how we need to hear that today, as we will face many battles in life in the year ahead. As we’re going about the Lord’s work, He’s going to make sure it’s successful, if we’ll rely on Him in faith.
