Sometimes it can be hard to see how good God is when our circumstances are not. How are we supposed to live and look to the world when we claim Jesus but in our situations we find it hard to trust in Him? Join us this week as we begin a new Series: 1 Peter.

How To Get Even When You’re Hurt
May 12, 2024 • Pastor Chris Pratt • John 13:35, 1 Peter 3:8–18
As followers of Jesus, we're called to radical love and unity. Our love proves we're His disciples. Too often, we're known more for who we're against than how we love. But God calls us to repay evil with blessings, turn from evil, do good, and seek peace. He calls evil people to become His children through our love. Spiritual maturity is loving God, understanding His love for us, and sharing that love with others. Even if we suffer for doing good, we're blessed. The gospel spreads as we endure suffering to do good, as Christ did. By loving radically, we lead "haters" to meet Him. Watch the full sermon now and learn how to get even when hurt.
