1 Peter addresses the suffering of Christians in light of salvation. What hope do we have when we suffer? What is the purpose of God in our suffering? What does it means to be saved? Our Lead Pastor, Brian Branam, will cover these topics and more as we go verse by verse through 1 Peter.
Success in Suffering
When life puts you flat on your back, what is God doing? Suffering can turn a congregation into a toxic situation where the pastor and the people fan one another's pride. These toxic situations are causing the church to become delusional about suffering. We are drunk on the heresy of prosperity. Peter calls God's people to humility. Congregational humility will bring us theological sobriety and we will experience God's wonderful grace in our suffering. "Success in Suffering". Released: 2023.
