About this listen

This is the talk from our 10:45 service on 4th May 2025. The reading was from 1 Peter 1:6-9. In this talk, Steve explores the theme of suffering in the Christian life. Drawing on examples from Star Wars, personal experience, and the life of an elderly congregation member, he highlights how God can use trials to refine our faith, draw us closer to Jesus, and fill us with inexpressible joy. The speaker encourages us to rejoice in suffering, resist Satan's lies, and rely on the Holy Spirit's help to endure. Ultimately, our hope is found in Christ's finished work on the cross and the promise of future glory.
