Living Hope | 1 Peter 4:12-19

11/5/22

In July of 64 A.D., Nero had Rome set on fire to rebuild a more glorious city. He blamed Christians to avoid a revolt against him, and it marked the beginning of a ‘fiery trial’ of persecution. This weekend our passage takes suffering out of the basement and elevates it to a place of honor. We are told to ‘rejoice’ and ‘entrust’ our souls to God. How does that work? What gives us hope amid our trials?
