Suffering is a universal experience but how does being a follower of Jesus address suffering? Scripture doesn’t shy away from our pain. Instead, it offers encouragement and reveals a God who not only shares in our suffering but sustains us through it. This fall, we’ll study the letter of First Peter and hear how Peter reminds the church that we are “born again to a living hope”—a hope that meets us in our present trials and promises a day when suffering will be no more.
