May 18, 2025: Righteous Suffering

1 Peter series message 15

Text: I Peter 3:8-17

There is a difference between suffering the due consequences of our own folly and suffering for following Christ in a sinful world. We want to eliminate the former and, by God's grace, engage the latter when it is necessary. It all begins with setting Christ apart as Lord in our hearts, being ready to give an answer for those who oppose us, so we do not fear those who cause us trouble for the sake of our gospel witness.
