Do Not Be Surprised: A Biblical View of Suffering Pt. 4 - Search The Scriptures Conference 2026

This sermon, based on 1 Peter 4:12–13, teaches that suffering is a purposeful part of the Christian life, not something strange or unexpected. It emphasizes that trials are used by God to refine believers, building humility, endurance, and deeper dependence on Him. Rather than reacting with discouragement, Christians are called to rejoice in suffering by focusing on the spiritual growth and future glory it produces. Ultimately, the message affirms that God is sovereign in every circumstance, using temporary hardships to shape believers into the likeness of Christ.
