First Peter Series, Christ is King
from Pilgrim Church · host Pilgrim Church
Join us at 10 AM on the final Sunday in the Western Church year, Christ the King Sunday! As we continue our First Peter Series, we will look at a challenging bit of the New Testament addressing how to think about threats and real suffering inflicted by empires against followers of Jesus. Peter addresses being a jerk and asks believers to “check ourselves”--are we suffering for Christ? In the midst of it, the author pulls on the teachings of Jesus and a strange ancient Jewish text, 1 Enoch. What can we learn about risking more for Jesus and engaging ancient wisdom around suffering?
