So often, we’re told that following Jesus will make life easier… but what if that’s not what Jesus said at all? In this message, Francis Chan walks us through what the Bible clearly teaches about suffering. Jesus taught us to expect it, to embrace it, and to arm ourselves with the mindset that following Him will not be easy. He’ll show us that overcoming sin requires suffering, that living for the will of God means leaving our old lives behind, and that real love is expressed in serving others, not in being served.
