As an introduction to the season of Lent, this week's focus was on the role fasting plays in clarifying our spiritual senses.

The second half of 1 Peter chapter 2 hones in on what it looks like to live out the Gospel in a non-Christian society.

We consider how God uses this particularly unique form of suffering for His glory.
