The world is shaking—but God’s grace still holds. This Sunday, as we close out our 1 Peter series, we’ll hear Peter’s final challenge to a church under pressure: stand firm, stay humble, and trust the Chief Shepherd who never lets go.

What happens when the intensity of our suffering increases? In 1 Peter 4:12-19, Peter makes it clear that we are to expect suffering, but the intensity of our suffering will always be refining and never destructive. When we suffer as a child of God, we can have joy, not because it's easy, but because we know God is being glorified and He can bring beauty from ashes.
