We love comfort & ease. But God is building a counter-cultural movement of transformed people who embrace suffering.
“The Christian ideal has not been tried & found wanting;
it has been found difficult & left untried.”
– G.K. Chesterton –
Many of us grow happy with a checklist faith of attendance, minimal giving, and doing just enough to feel good. First Peter describes a much different picture of faithfulness.
Over the next several weeks Pastor Steve is preaching a series titled Christianity Tried: 1 Peter, Suffering & Faithfulness. This radical New Testament letter describes the faithful Christian life as one that pursues faithfulness to Christ and endurance through suffering in an ungodly world. We hope you will join us and find hope.
