1 Peter 4:12-19

Author: GCC Jackson November 17, 2024 Duration: 0:00
12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. 14 If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory[b] and of God rests upon you. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. 16 Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name. 17 For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18 And “If the righteous is scarcely saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[c] 19 Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good.

At the heart of Grace Community Church, Jackson, MS is a simple, profound conviction: Christ is all. This weekly podcast from GCC Jackson gives voice to that conviction, sharing sermons and conversations from a community of believers scattered across the Jackson-Metro area. You’ll hear teaching grounded in scripture, from books like Colossians and Philippians, that explores what it means to exist for Jesus in the complexities of modern life. The discussions aren’t confined to theology alone; they naturally extend into culture, philosophy, and the everyday realities of society, always circling back to the aim of magnifying the worth and beauty of Jesus in everything. Each episode is an invitation to consider how a life purchased by Christ shapes our response to the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. It’s about faith lived out, not just talked about.
