Tested for Glory

Series: To The Exiles

Tested for Glory

May 04, 2025 | Mike Stancak

Passage: 1 Peter 4:12-19

Peter returns now to the occasion of his letter: the suffering of the churches in Asia Minor.  Specifically, they are suffering for being Christians.  Peter writes that this suffering is to be expected, and is in fact a way by which God will glorify himself.  So stand firm in Christ, no matter the suffering.  We can trust that God will bring glory from darkness, because he is faithful.
