https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereSunday's Sermon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZJqP65d0Wg - (Sermon at 31:00)Today's reading brings us back to 1 Peter 4 one final time, where Peter reminds us that every believer has received a gift and every gift is meant to serve the body of Christ. Whether we speak or serve, the goal is not attention, applause, or personal fulfillment—the goal is that God would be glorified through Jesus Christ.Peter gives us a clear challenge: if you speak, speak the oracles of God; if you serve, serve in the strength God supplies. We do not choose our part in the chorus and then ask God to bless it—we receive what He has entrusted to us and use it faithfully. So today, read 1 Peter 4 and ask the Lord to show you where your life is pointing. If it is not pointing to Jesus, it is pointing in the wrong direction.

Persecution is like a "fiery trial," and according to the Apostle Peter, we should rejoice when it comes. Why and how? In this message, learn three corrections to our natural reactions to suffering: to not be surprised, but rejoice; to not suffer as a sinner, but as a Christian; and to not confuse our judgment with the judgment of the wicked.

Main Point: Followers of Christ can joyfully trust God while they endure suffering.Outline – Christian responses to suffering :1. Not surprised, but rejoicing (12-15)2. Not ashamed, but trusting (16-19)

Most of us assume suffering is something to avoid. But what if some suffering is a mark of belonging to Christ? In 1 Peter 4:12-19, Peter helps believers understand the purpose of suffering, the privilege of bearing Christ's name, and the confidence that comes from trusting a faithful Creator.

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading brings us back to 1 Peter 4, where Peter gives the church a clear framework for faithful living in a suffering world. We are called to wage war on sin, witness to the lost, work for the church, worship in suffering, and watch our testimony. The Christian life is not passive; it is a Spirit-filled, battle-ready life that refuses to let the flesh, fear, or comfort steal our obedience.Peter reminds us that every believer has been gifted by the Holy Spirit for the building up of the church. Our gifts are not meant to be hidden, wasted, or kept for ourselves—they are meant to bless, strengthen, and edify the body of Christ. So today, read 1 Peter 4 with urgency: fight the flesh, share the gospel, serve the church, worship through hardship, and live today with a testimony that points people to Jesus.

https://square.link/u/UHRU92rp - Donate HereToday's reading takes us to 1 Peter 4, where Peter reminds suffering believers to arm themselves with the mindset of Christ. The Christian life is not casual; it requires heavy armor, self-control, sober-mindedness, and a willingness to suffer in the flesh rather than surrender to sin. If Christ suffered for us, then we can endure faithfully for Him.Peter also reminds us that the end of all things is at hand, so this is not the time to fall asleep spiritually. We are called to be watchful in prayer, alert in holiness, and faithful with the gifts God has given us. Every believer has been entrusted with grace to serve others, build up the church, and glorify God. So read 1 Peter 4 today with urgency: put on the armor, stay awake, and use what God has placed in your hands.

What is our relationship to the body of Christ, the Church? How are we to love one another? What is the greatest way to serve Christ?

When Jesus brings us into a union with Himself, He also breaks our union with Christ. That means that we have to be willing to the patterns and habits of sin behind us, even if it means facing the ridicule of whose who don't believe. In this message, we learn the void that saying no to sin creates in our lives, and how to fill it with the gifts God has given to us—namely, vibrant life in the church.

Main Point: With the end near and suffering expected, prioritize loving service in your church.Outline – 1. The End Is Near (4:7a)2. Serve One Another Faithfully (4:7b–11a) 2.1 Prioritize disciplines of godliness (v. 7b) 2.1.1 Watch 2.1.2 Pray 2.2 Prioritize devotion to your church family (vv. 8–11a) 2.2.1 Love one another earnestly 2.2.2 Practice hospitality 2.2.3 Steward God's gifts3. So God Gets the Glory (4:11b)

Sermon for the Midweek of Easter VII Wednesday, 20 May A+D 2026 Rev. Matthew D. Ruesch

The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on 1 Peter 4 and 5 (in which Peter offers wisdom to sufferers) and John 17 (in which Jesus prays at the Last Supper). You can endure your suffering because God is not absent. In Christ, he is with you, even in pain.

This week, we conclude our post-Easter sermon series, exploring what it means to live as Resurrection People. What might it mean for us to be formed, not by trust, but by trust in the One who restores, strengthens, and establishes us?

At Bethany, We are God's People who are: Gathered! Connected! Sent!We want to connect with you through this Podcast! Leave us a comment! Tell us where you are at! Leave a Review to help our audience grow!--May 17, 2026 -- Vicar Ryan Fink -- "When You're A Stranger" -- 1 Peter 4:12-1912 Dear friends, don't be surprised by the fiery troubles that are coming in order to test you. Don't feel as though something strange is happening to you, 13 but be happy as you share Christ's sufferings. Then you will also be full of joy when he appears again in his glory. 14 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed because the Spirit of glory—the Spirit of God—is resting on you. 15 If you suffer, you shouldn't suffer for being a murderer, thief, criminal, or troublemaker. 16 If you suffer for being a Christian, don't feel ashamed, but praise God for being called that name. 17 The time has come for the judgment to begin, and it will begin with God's family. If it starts with us, what will be the end for those who refuse to obey the Good News of God? 18 If it's hard for the person who has God's approval to be saved, what will happen to the godless sinner? 19 Those who suffer because that is God's will for them must entrust themselves to a faithful creator and continue to do what is good. --GWhttp://www.bethanylutheran.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.facebook.com/Bethany.Long.Beach⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.youtube.com/c/BethanyLutheranLongBeach

Reflecting upon St. Peter's words in chapter 4, we are reminded to not be surprised, faithless, or ashamed when trails come upon us as Christians. Instead we should rejoice, be faithful, and rest in the work God gives us in Jesus.
