1 Peter 4:12

Drawing from 1 Peter 4:12-19, Pastor Miles teaches that trials are normal for the Christian, not strange, and that abnormal suffering endured for the name of Christ proves God's faithfulness, refines ours, and partners us with Christ in both His suffering and His glory. He distinguishes normal suffering (common to all in a fallen world) from abnormal, supernatural suffering experienced by believers who promote God's glory in a hostile world.
