How to Rejoice in Suffering | 1 Peter 1:4–6
Pastor Matthew Hartman
Join Pastor Matthew Hartman as we continue our line-by-line teaching through 1 Peter 1, diving into verses 4–6. In this message, we explore how believers can endure persecution and suffering with joy by fixing our eyes on the hope of salvation that will be fully revealed at the return of Jesus Christ.
Peter reminds us that our inheritance is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading—kept in heaven by the power of God. Even in trials, we can rejoice because our faith rests not in circumstances, but in the sovereignty of God and His unshakable promises.
This teaching will encourage you to stand firm, rejoice in the midst of hardship, and find strength in the eternal hope secured for us in Christ.
