1 Peter 3:8-22 | Unjust Suffering by Enfield & Strathfield Anglican Church

Join Janet and Jocelyn as they explore the transformative power of God's hesed love—His steadfast, covenant-keeping kindness—in life's hardest moments. When suffering comes, whether from the consequences of another's sin, unexpected accidents, global crises, or the ache of living in a fallen world, it often feels profoundly unfair. Yet, in the midst of struggle, looking to Christ's example and His compassionate heart offers a fresh perspective and anchors our hope. This heartfelt conversation is a timely reminder that, no matter the circumstance, God's faithful love reorients our hearts, guides our response, and leads us toward lasting hope.Joyful Journey is taking a hiatus on recording new episodes for the next several months.

Gary Villa1 Peter Becoming Like Jesus seriesFeb 2ndAbout the series -1 Peter is a letter to 1st-century Christians living on the edges of the Roman Empire, whom Peter calls “exiles” or “strangers.” Though outsiders in society, they are insiders in God's Kingdom, born into a living hope through Jesus' resurrection. Peter encourages them to rejoice in suffering, love deeply, and live holy lives. He challenges them to honor everyone, even those who treat them harshly, as they follow Jesus' example. Underneath his encouragement and instruction is the underlying assumption that disciples of Jesus may share in his suffering, but they will also share in his resurrection! This series invites us to follow in Jesus' footsteps, becoming like Jesus in our families, workplaces, and communities.

GRACE & TRUTH: Unjust Suffering and God's MercyJan. 5, 2025Pastor Steve Poole  TEXT – Job 91. How did we get to Job?· Job likely lived between Noah and Abraham.· In a chronological reading of the Bible, this is in the middle of Genesis.· Job belongs to the poetic books.2. Who was Job?·  A farmer in the Middle East·  Successful and Wealthy·  Righteous3. Friend Logic: If God is good/just, then suffering is a punishment for sin.4. Job's Argument: If God is all-powerful and we are not, then we have no grounds to judge and debate right and wrong, justice and suffering, with God.5. What can we take away?·  Our only hope is to appeal for God's mercy and grace.·  The truth is that Jesus is the merciful Judge and the arbitrator for us.Growing in Grace & TruthIn 2025, we aspire to grow in grace and truth. To measure our growth, we will assess spiritual health and spiritual maturity.Spiritual maturity describes the stage of development.(For example: toddler, teenager, adult).Spiritual health measures well-being at every stage.(For example: toddlers and teenagers can be strong and fit.)Spiritual Maturity AssessmentChair 1: I am a seeker, curious about Jesus. (Seeker)Chair 2: I am a believer who follows Jesus. (New Believer)Chair 3: I am a committed follower who serves others. (Worker)Chair 4: I am a follower of Jesus who disciples others. (Reproducer)What is your level of maturity (which chair?)Spiritual Health AssessmentI have regular (daily) times of prayer, reading God's Word and applying God's Word.1=Never  2=Seldom  3=Sometimes 4=Frequently 5=Always How can I grow more consistent in these practices?

Sermon on 1 Peter 3:18–22 by Bret Rogers

Christ's people are called to live in submission to earthly authorities, sometimes even enduring unjust suffering. In this part of his letter, Peter writes to household servants, urging them to submit to their masters, whether kind or harsh, out of reverence for God. Our submission mirrors Jesus, Who is the ultimate example of enduring unjust suffering. Just as He bore our sins without sinning Himself, believers are to endure wrongs, trusting in God's justice and ultimate vindication. Through His substitutionary atonement, Jesus redeemed us from our sins and calls us to follow His footsteps. When we endure suffering for His sake, we testify to the world of His grace, and we hold fast to the hope of eternal life, knowing that our Savior has walked this path before us.

Pastor Thomas Swope preaches on 1 Peter 3:13-22.

Psalm 10 is one of those beautiful Psalms of the Bible that expresses our raw, authentic times when we walk through unjust suffering. When we ask questions like, "Where is God in times like this?" This is a Psalm for us when we struggle to believe that God is with us. As such, it is an immensely hopeful Psalm that gives us words to pray.

Our sense of fairness and justice are shaped by our experiences and beliefs. We understand the idea of receiving punishment for poor decisions or not receiving punishment when we make good decisions. In our text today, however, Peter tells us there is a type of suffering we will experience that we do not deserve. We look to Jesus as we try to make sense of this hard teaching. Preacher: Jay Frymire

There are four things, four principles, you must remember when you're experiencing unjust suffering. Chip reassures us, by sharing how to apply those four principles, from Ephesians Chapter 3.

There are times that life just doesn't make sense. The loss of a baby. Cancer. Natural disasters. Random killings. When life is unfair, and you suffer because of it, how do you respond? Chip encourages us with words of wisdom about how to go on.

1 Peter 2:18-25English Standard VersionServants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust. For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

1 Peter 2:18-25

God ordains unfair suffering for his people to exibit His grace.

Today we are going to march up the mountain of UNJUST SUFFERING.  What should be my response INTERIORLY first, and then EXTERNALLY towards UNJUST SUFFERING.We do not get a free pass even if those around us are doing this wrong.  Just because another near you is wrong, or even evil, does not give you a "pass" to be evil in response. Stay with me as we venture into "the nuclear power plant of 1st Peter." I can't wait.

1 Peter 4:1-6

Matt Deaver :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, June 25, 2023 “For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.” (1 Peter 2:21) Creekside-supported missionary Matt Deaver preaches from 1st Peter 2:18-25, where Christians are called to face some level of injustice in this life. How should we endure unjust suffering? The answer lies in following the example of Christ in what He endured and displaying the power of the Gospel to a watching world. Matt's message follows several announcements. Worship music permitted under CCLI License #264436.

1 Peter 2:21-25 How to Handle Unjust Suffering by Upcountry Calvary

Pastor Max continues in our series in 1 Peter, challenging us to not seek retribution when we are wronged or persecuted, rather we should use our suffering as a way to be mindful of God's presence in our lives and His call to suffering.

On this first podcast of the Cross and The Crib, I will share a meditation from a book written in 1938 by Fulton J. Sheen entitled 'The Rainbow of Sorrow". The topic of today's podcast is 'Unjust Suffering'. God Love You. Al Smith Host www.bishopsheentoday.com http://www.onefamilyinmission.org/soc...

Dennis and Julie delve into music… it is generational.  Julie's Spotify list is changing as she ages.  Dennis believes classical is best and doubts anything at the top of iTunes would hold his interest.  Ben Shapiro showed up at a Podcast Movement event; the organizers apologized for the trauma his presence caused.  Words like trauma and pain are overused by the Left.  Dennis couldn't stand small talk on a date… he'd have rather discussed human suffering and evil.  On his radio show Dennis talked to Jon Mellis, a January 6 political prisoner who has been in jail for 19 months and has never had a bail hearing, let alone a trial.  The believer in God has to account for the existence of unjust suffering; the atheist has to account for everything else - Milton Steinberg.  Does God know what decision you would make, furthermore can God be saddened by that choice if he already knew?  Do people really, truly believe the United States is systemically racist, or that climate change is an existential threat?  What percentage of attractive women think they are attractive... do they really believe they aren't?  Surely, if you do right, there is uplift. But if you do not do right Sin crouches at the door; Its urge is toward you, yet you can be its master - Genesis 4:5-7.  What would Jesus think of the New Testament?  The Left suffers from cognitive dissonance.  Today's criminals are not held responsible for their actions... but the founding fathers are.  If you vote Democrat... you are voting to destroy America.  Having high expectations for humanity… leads to disappointment.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
