The most encouraging message you don’t want to hear

John 15:18, John 15:20

Persecution of Christians TODAY worst in history

1 Peter 4:12

If you are not a threat, the enemy takes no notice of you

Engage in your faith and the enemy takes notice and you will face opposition

If facing trials because of your faith it means you are in the game/battle

1 Peter 4:13

We make decisions in order to take the path of least resistance

Pursue comfort
Avoid Opposition
Faith weakens
Empty

Live boldly
Face opposition
Faith strengthens
Closer to Jesus

1 Peter 4:13
But these trials will make you partners with Christ.

1 Peter 4:19

Do what is right and trust God with the results

Persecution always strengthens the church

1 Peter 5:10

1 Peter 5:11
