Historically, Christians have experienced persecution & suffering. According to Scripture, our persecution & suffering has been, is currently & will be ongoing into the future. Fortunately, God's plan of salvation, executed through Jesus, has guaranteed our salvation. What this means is that this world may persecute us to suffer, even to the point of death, but we have hope of a future which is something this world could never strip away. Join us for our sermon "Trial by Fire" from 1 Peter 4:12-19, where we'll be encouraged in our eternal security, despite our current sufferings.
