Pastor Bill Bush · Jun 6, 2021
In the opening verses of First Peter, Pastor Bill unpacks three foundational truths that anchor believers when suffering comes: God has redeemed us (salvation), God is actively refining us through trials (sanctification), and God will always hold on to us for an eternal inheritance (glorification). Rather than treating following Jesus as a guarantee against hardship, Christians are called to embrace suffering for the right reasons, trusting that an all-knowing, choosing God is at work in every trial — and that the peace surpassing understanding only becomes real when faith is genuinely tested.
