In 1 Peter 4:1-11, we're reminded that suffering for Christ leads to transformation, freeing us from sin and enabling us to live for God's will. We are called to love one another deeply, use our gifts to serve, and do everything for God's glory.

Sermon February 23 - More on Christian Suffering (1 Peter 4:12-19) by Sunnybrook Christian Church
1 Peter 4:7
Sermon Slides 1 Peter 4:1–11
Join us this week as we are in 1 Peter chapter 4, verses 10-11. Tonight we study Spiritual gifts. There are three main things to see from these two verses. 1) Believe that you are Spiritually gifted. Every Christian has received a Spiritual gift. 2) Serve others, as stewards of grace. 3) Spiritually serve - leaning on God. We pray that through this study, if you will ask God what your Spiritual gift is, if you don't already know. If you do, we pray that God is using that gift through you in mighty ways!

Sermon February 16 - Living with the End in Mind (1 Peter 4:7-11) by Sunnybrook Christian Church
Peter knows the weight of suffering. When Satan requested permission from Christ to sift Peter he caved. He denied his savior three times. One would think that such a record would disqualify Peter to talk about suffering. However, Peter encourages us to rejoice in suffering, feel blessed when insulted, and glorify God. This sounds a bit hypocritical that Peter would say such things. However, as we dig deeper we note that Peter is not a hypocrite at all, but rather a fellow sojourning living in the dispersion.Peter is communicating to us that living as redeemed people means enduring trials, sharing in Christ's suffering, and not a necessary failure in our Christian life. Peter reminds believers that suffering is not a sign of abandonment but a means of refinement like gold or silver having its impurities burned away. The trials we endure as Christians test and strengthen our faith, strengthen our union with Christ, and reveal our character. We rejoice not in superficial words of piety, but consciously seeing ourselves as sharing in Christ's sufferings which also means we will share in his glory.The presence of the Holy Spirit in us is God is refining and preserving us through every hardship. Ultimately, our confidence lies in the Spirit of God who dwells in us, the same Spirit which raised Christ, and the full glory that filled the temple is in us. This divine presence secures our heavenly destiny and empowers us to live as God's people, even in the context of suffering. The Spirit is not a temporary gift but a permanent power that preserves us as we consciously persevere in Christ by faith. Thus, we are called to walk in the Spirit, trusting that God is working out His redemptive plan in us, and securing our place in His eternal kingdom. Let us rejoice in God's refinement, and not suffer as evil doers in this age.

In our culture anything that feels like suffering is typically seen as detracting from the life that will allow "you to be you". The Apostle Peter shows us that as a Christian, suffering is likely, expected even. If I suffer as a Christian, is our culture's assessment right? Am I wasting my life? Have I been duped? Peter's answer to these questions will not only help us rightly understand suffering, but help us see it as a blessing that leads us closer to God.

If what Peter says is right, Christians ought to expect suffering, but why would we add that to all the other heartbreak and hardships we face? As Peter transitions toward his closing thoughts, he reminds us of the center of our hope. This hope is not only comforting for us in times of difficulty, but, what's more, it recalibrates how we relate to one another in our ordinary lives -- beginning first in our churches and spreading out to our families, friends, neighborhoods, and workplaces.

Fr. Mike shares how verse 1 Peter 3:15 about being ready to give a reason for the faith that is within us has been one of the most influential Bible verses for him. As we start reading 1 Thessalonians today, Fr. Mike also highlights how Paul is encouraged by the faith of the Thessalonians and stresses the importance of not only sharing the gospel but also sharing our very selves. Today's readings are 1 Peter 3-5, 1 Thessalonians 1-3, and Proverbs 30:15-16. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
