If God is so good, then why...
April 7, 2024 • Pastor Chris Pratt • 1 Peter 1:1–9
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. Following Jesus does not mean the absence of trials and hard times. We may suffer, but because of Jesus, it's only temporary. As God allows trials to build and purify our faith we have hope for eternity.
