Facing Persecution
Manage episode 424562071 series 1999016
As we continue in our series, “Forged,” JP reminds us that Christians must lean closer to God in times of suffering because He is sanctifying us. JP looks to 1 Peter to show us five things we should not do in suffering. As we seek to become more like Christ, we must rejoice in suffering because our Savior suffered for us on our behalf.
1 Peter 4:12-19
1) Do not be surprised in suffering
2) Do not be discouraged in suffering
3) Do not be guilty in suffering
4) Do not be ashamed in suffering
5) Do not suffer outside of God’s will because our Savior suffered for us on our behalf.
Life Group Questions:
1. JP shared that approximately 13 Christians are killed each day for sharing their faith. How can you be diligent to pray for those who are being persecuted for their faith? How can you grow in sharing your faith with others?
2. What is a spiritual discipline that you have seen growth in after experiencing a time of suffering?
3. Has there been a time when you suffered because of sin? How have you experienced God’s grace as you’ve fully surrendered your sufferings to the Lord?
