World Gone Mad, Part 4: Suffering - Pastor Pete

Modern believers are in dire need of the biblical call to suffer well. With modern medicine, pain relief options, and even in some places the option of euthanasia, we have become a generation who fears and runs from suffering. Yet, the Bible repeatedly extols suffering as a tool the Lord uses to refine our faith, like gold in the fire. Daniel’s trial was unjust, unfair, and ungodly, yet he suffered well, with fire and humility. Even a wicked world notices when we suffer like Jesus. May this sermon get us one-step closer to becoming a people who suffer well.
