Life is difficult, and difficult times have a way of shaping people. Fear, frustration, loneliness, opposition, and suffering can slowly reshape our character if we are not careful.
In 1 Peter 4:7-11, the Apostle Peter writes to believers facing intense persecution and reminds them what it means to remain faithful when life is difficult. Rather than withdrawing, isolating, or becoming self-focused, Christians are called to lean more deeply into the life of the church.
In this message, Pastor Dan explores four characteristics of a healthy church:
- Being Steady in Prayer
- Being Loving toward One Another
- Being Relational through Hospitality
- Being Faithful in Service
The church is not merely an event we attend. The church is a people with whom we pray, love, fellowship, serve, and glorify God together.
