Against the Grain, Week 3: Suffering with Christ

About this episode

This episode discusses how suffering can deepen our faith in Christ, using Jesus' suffering as a model.

Too often, we see our sufferings as a sign that God is not on our side. Nothing could be further from the truth. God’s Word is clear that when we follow Jesus there will be times when we suffer, just as Christ suffered. While we do not wish for suffering, Peter teaches us to interpret our suffering as an opportunity to deepen our truth in Christ. In this message, we look at the suffering Jesus endured as a model for how we can weather the storms of this life. Based on 1 Peter 2:19-25 Against the Grain, Week 3: Discussion Guide
