Revival Radio with John Miller

If you look around your church, who do you see? Probably the most noticeable people are those who are the most mature in their Christianity. After all, they’re the ones who tend to become pastors, worship leaders, teachers, and ministry leads. But today, Pastor John has a reminder: there are also new, young, inexperienced, novice Christians in your congregation. And God is calling you to minister to them. Someone took you under their wing when you were a new Christian. Now it’s time for you to do the same.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 3, as he begins his message How to be a Caring Christian.

Did you know that the Bible has many instructions about “work”? Pastor John goes over several of these in today’s message. God said to rest one day, yes, but He also said to work six days. And He told us how we are to work: as for Christ, not for man. And He also told us what to do when we have believers in the church who WILL NOT work. He’s not talking about those who “can’t,” but those who “will not.” You have a responsibility to work, and you have a responsibility to call others to work.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 3, as he continues his message, How to Deal with the Disobedient.

What do you do when you’re in an organization, and there’s someone in the group who’s perpetually causing discord? Well, if you approach it from a worldly standpoint, you might try gossiping about them. Or you could sabotage their work with the boss. But what should a Christian do when this happens in the church? Today, Pastor John explains that, yes, this does sometimes happen, and yes, there are instructions in the Bible about how to handle it. And the keyword is LOVE.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 3, as he begins his message, How to Deal with the Disobedient.

What does it mean to “trust” God? Some people think that if they do the right things, God is somehow “obligated” to reciprocate with nice blessings. Others see trust in God as the very thing that sustains them when they don’t get what they ask for. Today, Pastor John shares the apostle Paul’s hopes for the church in Thessalonica: that they pray, they trust God, and they obey God. Paul needed their prayers. Your pastor needs your prayers. Paul trusted in God, despite circumstances. So must you.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 3, as he begins his message, A Pastor’s Desire For God’s People.

When you look at the world, or even our nation, you see a lot of messed-up things and messed-up people. Why is that? Pastor John shows today that what’s missing is our foundation upon the Truth of God. Of course, it’s easier to look at the “others” and see where they’re not following God. It’s the other countries. It’s the other political party. It’s my boss, or my spouse, or my next-door neighbor. But if this world is going to return to Christ, in humility, it has to start with you and me.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he continues his message, Standing In The Truth.

If you were to ask people, “what’s the greatest need in the world today?”, what kinds of answers would you get? Probably world peace – the end of war. Then there’s saving the planet – the environment. And justice for the oppressed – which would be accomplished by whichever political party you favor. But as Pastor John shows today, none of those answers will solve the world’s greatest need. The root of all of mankind’s problems is the human heart. And the only solution is the Lord Jesus Christ.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he begins his message, Standing In The Truth.

“When’s the Antichrist coming?” “Who’s the Antichrist?” “How will we recognize him?” If these are your concerns, Pastor John has a word for you today: you’re asking the wrong questions. Don’t be thinking about those, because – if you’re a Christian – they’re not your problem. Who should you be looking for? Not the Anti-Christ, but Jesus Christ. So, when you see the world getting darker, when you see churches falling farther and farther away from God’s Truth, what can you do? Keep your eyes on Jesus.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he continues his message, Confusion Over Christ Coming.

If you’ve been alive for more than a few decades, you’ve probably heard quite a list of people who’ve been proposed to be the Antichrist. And it was the same for your parents, and your parents’ parents, and generations going all the way back to apostolic times. But today, Pastor John has a word of relief for you: the Antichrist isn’t here yet. And you’re not in the Great Tribulation. But there are things you need to be thinking about and doing now, regardless of when things may happen in the future.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 as he begins his message Confusion Over Christ Coming.

It can be tough to hear people blaspheme the Name of God. And that’s true whether they’re using it as a casual curse or they’re out-and-out attacking it. And furthermore, they attack not only the Name of God, but also the people of God. That includes you. What does God plan to do about it? Today, Pastor John has an assurance that should help you in times of persecution: God will render justice in the end. His Name, and His people, will be vindicated, and you’ll participate in the glory of God.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Encouragement For Suffering Saints.

If you have a Christian brother or sister you really appreciate, what do you say to them? On one hand, you might be reluctant to praise them too highly, because they might become proud. But on the other hand, if you don’t say anything, you’re not really encouraging them as you should. Today, Pastor John has the solution. It’s the same solution illustrated by the apostle Paul: Tell them that you thank God for them. That way, you’re saying the encouraging things you want, but you’re giving the credit to God.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Encouragement For Suffering Saints.

Have you ever asked someone what you could do for them, and they asked you simply, “pray for me”? Did you think to yourself, “can’t I do something more?” Today, Pastor John shares a fascinating insight into the writings of the apostle Paul. Over and over, and over again, what does Paul ask the recipients of his letters to do for him? “Pray for me.” If it was important enough for Paul to constantly ask people to pray for him, who could you ask to pray for you? Who could you pray for?Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, as he continues his message, Paul’s Prayerful Postscript.

If you were writing a letter to a beloved friend, and you wanted to make sure not to leave out anything important, how would you end your letter? Today, Pastor John describes the apostle Paul’s closing of his letter to the Christians in Thessalonica as a “PS.” And what does Paul emphasize? Be set apart for God. This is the process called “sanctification.” It means that you’re no longer divided in your loyalties, as far as who you serve. Your life is being conformed to God’s purposes and his service.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, as he begins his message, Paul’s Prayerful Postscript.

In your local church, what’s your pastor’s job? Probably he preaches on Sunday mornings, and maybe teaches a bible class. But is he supposed to do everything for the church, or is there work for everyone else? Today, Pastor John talks about the roles of pastors and the roles of members. And the role of every member is to be a “minister.” You have a calling to take care of your fellow believers. And this includes those who are unruly, those who are faint-hearted, and those who are spiritually at risk.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, as he continues his message, Life In The Local Church.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could find a “perfect” church? The leaders would be servants, the members would be harmonious, and the worship would be engaging. But today, Pastor John shows how unbiblical it is to try to find or make a church according to your own liking. The Bible clearly describes the importance of being a committed member of a biblically faithful church. Your leaders won’t be perfect, but they’ll be faithful. Your calling is to serve your brothers and sisters in your local congregation.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, as he begins his message, Life In The Local Church.

How “alert” are you? When you’re driving a car, are you regularly scanning the traffic all around and on the horizon so you can be prepared to take action if necessary? When there’s a time deadline on a school report or a job deliverable, are you staying on track? Today, Pastor John talks about an alertness which is much more critical: spiritual alertness. Are you sleeping spiritually, or maybe just drowsy or groggy? Or are you staying alert, focused on Jesus, His mission, and His coming?Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, as he continues his message, Rapture Not Wrath.

People have differing ideas about the future. Some imagine a utopia, fueled by science and technology. Others see trouble on the horizon. But as Christians, what should we be expecting? Pastor John shows today that the future of the human race doesn’t depend on our own efforts. Because God has already stated His plan: Jesus will return, and He has already declared what the future will be. Where are you on the “hope” spectrum? Trusting in human effort? Fearing human evil? Or hoping in Jesus?Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 5, as he begins his message, Rapture Not Wrath.

What happens to people after they die? This has been a question asked by human civilizations as far back as we can find. And there have been many suggested answers. So, how do you know which one is correct? Pastor John suggests today: ask the only One who has ever died, and then risen from the dead: the Lord Jesus Christ. And what Jesus taught about life after death, He gave to His apostles, and they passed His teachings on as the Word of God. That’s something you can count on!Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, as he continues his message The Rapture Of The Church.

Has anyone ever asked you to find the word “Rapture” in an English translation of the Bible? If so, did you find it? Today, Pastor John explains: there are some words that you won’t find in the Bible, such as “Trinity” and “providence,” but we still understand their truth from the Bible. And “Rapture” is one of those words, unless you’re reading a Latin Bible, from which our English word “rapture” is transliterated. But what’s the main point? Jesus is coming back for you, and you will be with Him forever.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, as he begins his message The Rapture Of The Church.

You’ve probably heard that the city we call “Philadelphia” can be translated as the city of “brotherly love.” But what does that mean? Is it just that they all root for the same football team? Or that they all agree about politics? Do they all take care of each other? Of course, as Pastor John shows today, brotherly love is not something you can manufacture by sticking a name on your city… or on your church, or your family, or yourself. It’s a gift from God. His Holy Spirit teaches you how to love others.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, as he begins his message Walk In Brotherly Love.

The most misused word in the English language today has got to be “love.” As a Christian, you know that love isn’t just a feeling you have. It certainly isn’t doing what you enjoy, especially at someone else’s expense. Today, Pastor John shows how your Christian love must operate. It must look to the highest good of the object loved. And one of the ways to do this, is to live a life of purity. Being pure doesn’t just affect your own self; it also affects everyone else within your sphere of influence.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, as he continues his message Walking In Purity.

One of the phrases that we hear used a lot in the New Testament is “to walk.” There are several commands about how Christians should walk. But what does “walking” actually mean? Today, Pastor John explains that for someone to be able to walk, first of all, they have to be alive. To walk in Christ is possible only after being born again into Christ. And secondly, walking implies going from one place to another. When you walk in Christ, you’re going somewhere spiritually. Where are you walking today?Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, as he begins his message Walking In Purity.

If you were to survey the many religions of the world, you’d find a lot of ideas ABOUT God – who God is, what He’s like, et cetera, et cetera. But today, Pastor John describes someone who didn’t speak about God; he spoke from God. When the apostle Paul was speaking to the church in Thessalonica, the people there recognized: not the word of a man, but the word of God. And when you read what Paul wrote, you’re also hearing the Word of God. And that will give you the power to live the Christian life.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he begins his message, Strength For The Battle.

Who are your heroes in the Bible? Depending on your personality and position in life, there are many great options. Today, Pastor John talks about a model he’s always aspired to follow: the prophet Samuel. And specifically, he admires the way that Samuel was able to get to the end of his entire ministry, and no one could accuse him of being self-serving. That’s Pastor John’s heart for himself. And as a model, he’s setting the example for you, as you think about the people to whom you minister.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he continues his message, The Marks Of A Model Minister, Part 2.

When you think of a Christian leader, what do you envision? Whether we’re talking about a pastor of a church, a youth group worker, or a mom or a dad, what does it mean to be someone whom other Christians will be following? Today, Pastor John lays out two more metaphors from the apostle Paul of the model minister: He treats people like a mother and like a father. And these roles are for everyone: the Bible uses both metaphors to show you how to treat others; they are both important.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he begins his message, The Marks Of A Model Minister, Part 2.

What are the marks of a model minister? If you were to ask a lot of people, they’d say he has to be funny, engaging, friendly, and most of all – positive! Pastor John has a different view of that today: the genuine, biblical minister is not about pleasing the people; he’s about pleasing God. Take an inventory of yourself: Who do you listen to? Both at your church and online, are you hearing from people who are teaching what Jesus and the apostles taught? Or something else? Something you “like” better.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he continues his message, The Marks Of A Model Minister, Part 1.

When you read the New Testament and you look at the lives of notable figures like Peter and Paul, how do you relate to them personally? Do you think they’re so far removed from you that you have nothing to learn from them? Or do you try to find common ground? Today, Pastor John has a reminder, as he begins looking at the faithful ministers of the New Testament: ALL Christians are to be ministers of God. And you can always learn and apply what you observe in their lives to your own.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 2, as he begins his message, The Marks Of A Model Minister, Part 1.

Have you ever run across someone who sounds like a walking and talking Bible, but whose life doesn’t seem particularly Christ-like? Or, maybe you’ve met a person who identifies as a Christian, but their theology about who Jesus is is just plain bizarre. Today, Pastor John explains that the Word of God only operates correctly when it’s received through the Spirit of God. The Scriptures won’t work in your life without the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit won’t tell you what to do, in contradiction to the Scriptures.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 1, as he continues his message, The Marks Of A Model Church.

If you’re looking at one of the online map applications on your phone or computer, one of the things you’ll frequently see is this-or-that “church.” But is that what a “church” actually is – a property or a building on a map? Of course not, as Pastor John emphasizes today. The church is always a reference to the “people” of Christ, not their property. And if you’re looking for a “church,” how do you pick among the many apparent options? Compare it with the church founded by Jesus.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Thessalonians, chapter 1, as he begins his message, The Marks Of A Model Church.

What “motivates” you? Is it being healthy, or being respected at work, or having a great family life? Is it something you’re trying to acquire, such as a really nice house, car, or surfboard? Today, Pastor John has an important reminder for you: your ultimate motivation must be living for your eternal destination. And while it may be interesting to talk about the Second Coming of Christ and some of the details about it, what really matters is how it guides your current priorities in your earthly life.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Living In The Light of Christ’s Coming.

When we look around at the world, we see a lot of dysfunction: nation against nation, people against people, and internally in our own selves. Does God care about this? Is He going to let things go on and on in this distressful state? Will bad people just keep getting their way and never face the consequences? Today, Pastor John answers these questions: God brought His judgment on the world before. And He will do it again. He’s just being very, very patient, so you – and others – can get right with Him first.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 3, as he continues his message, Will Jesus Come Again?

Since the time of the resurrection of Christ, a lot of years have passed. The world has seen decades and centuries come and go for almost two millennia. And yet, wasn’t there some promise that Jesus made about coming again? Where is He?? Today, Pastor John explains that this apparent “delay” shouldn’t be a surprise. Even as Peter was writing his second epistle, he predicted that people would start to scoff at the idea of a Second Coming of Christ. But Jesus promised it. So: it will happen. Will you be ready?Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 3, as he begins his message, Will Jesus Come Again?

How do you know how to pray in the will of God? Maybe you’re thinking about taking a new job. Or, you’re trying to decide on a college or a place to live. According to Pastor John, today, there are a lot of things that you can – and should – pray about. But there’s one thing you should NEVER pray for – and that’s anything that directly contradicts what God has already said in the Scriptures. So watch out, because there are plenty of people with alluring reasons who would tempt you to do so.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 2, as he continues his message, The Teachers of Error – Part 2.

A lot of people want to “save the world.” But what that means varies quite a lot. To some, it means world peace between governments. Others are looking to create a sustainable, stable planetary environment. Today, Pastor John points to the only salvation that’s actually permanent: the eternal salvation of your soul. And that’s only available through The Way, The Truth, and The Life – Jesus Christ. But there’s an enemy trying to keep you away from Jesus. And he uses false teaching as his tool.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 2, as he begins his message, The Teachers of Error – Part 2.

One of the things that trips people up about Christianity is: “how can there be one God in three Persons?” And another is: “how can Jesus be fully God and also fully human?” So the question for you is: is this really important, or should you skip over this confusing part when you’re explaining Christianity to others? Today, Pastor John is unequivocal: the Trinity of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit IS ESSENTIAL to the gospel, as is the full divinity and full humanity of Jesus Christ. Don’t budge on these!Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 2, as he continues his message, The Teachers of Error: Their Description.

If you’ve listened to teaching about Christianity from public and private media, then you’ve heard many diverse interpretations of God’s Word. How can this be? Today, Pastor John shows that this is no surprise to God: there were false prophets in the Old Testament, and false teachers had appeared even during the writing of the New Testament. What can be tricky is when the same words are used, but they’re given different meanings than those of the authors. Be sure you’re understanding the original intent.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 2, as he begins his message, The Teachers of Error: Their Description.

Some things are subjective: what toppings do you like on your pizza? Which color car do you want to buy? Do you prefer the beach or the mountains? But other things are objective: the answer to a problem on your math test. The force of gravity. The speed of light. Today, Pastor John asks: Are you building your life on things that are objective or subjective? If your truth is based on your feelings or your experience, it’s only as reliable as you are. But if your truth is based on the Scriptures, it’s as reliable as God Himself.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Is Your Faith Grounded?

People are always looking for security. They want to have a good job that they can count on. Their country must have a strong national defense so they’re safe from external enemies. A paid-off house, money in the bank, and good health – these are all things on which people build their lives. Today, Pastor John says: All of these things are unreliable. But there is one solid rock foundation that will never fail. No matter what happens to you, even if you die: The Word of God endures forever.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Is Your Faith Grounded?

How many people “live for the day?” “Who cares what the consequences will be tomorrow; I wanna do what I wanna do… today!” But Pastor John reminds us today just how important it is to consider what the results will be tomorrow. And there’s more! It’s not just tomorrow, or next week, or next year, or even when you retire. It’s eternity. As you’re going about your daily decisions, consider each one – not just on how it will affect life on earth, but on how it will affect you, and others, eternally.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Is Your Faith Growing?

If someone wants to be an athlete, what does he or she do? If a person wants to learn a second language, how do they go about doing that? If you wanted to move up to a new position at work, what would it take? Today, Pastor John shows that growing in the Christian life is just like growing in any other endeavor. You have to find out what’s necessary and then add that to your mix. It’s great that you’ve started with faith. But is that the end of the story? Not if you want to grow! But you have to start adding.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Is Your Faith Growing?

Take this thought experiment: Suppose that when you became a Christian, you were saved from the penalty of sin. Great! Right? Well, yes, of course. But suppose that you weren’t saved from sin’s power. The same domination that sin had over your life before you became a Christian continued on exactly the same. Would that be a “complete” salvation? Today, Pastor John proclaims the truth that salvation includes being liberated from sin’s power. God has made you a partaker of His divine nature.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he continues his message, Is Your Faith Real?

A lot of people talk about having “faith.” Some people are natural optimists – they believe everything will work out well. Others may be more skeptical, but they still have faith in some particular person or institution. Today, Pastor John asks: “Does it matter in what or in whom your faith is placed?” And he answers with a resounding “Yes!” Faith, as faith is worthless, unless the object of your faith is able to deliver on its promises. And when your faith is in Jesus Christ, your faith is in God.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 2 Peter, chapter 1, as he begins his message, Is Your Faith Real?

Have you ever been in a situation where you realized you didn’t have a critical item that you needed? You went to your baseball game and forgot your glove. You were going to ride your dirt bike, but you didn’t put gas in it. Today, Pastor John talks about a critical item that you need for your spiritual life – God’s grace. And God’s grace is ALL Sufficient. Not just for initial justification, but for EVERYTHING you need in your Christian walk. Whatever critical situation you’re in, God’s grace is all you need.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 5, as he continues his message, Steadfast In Suffering.

Did you ever play “T-Ball” as a kid? If so, it was probably fairly safe and easy. Because the teams you played against were at approximately the same skill level. But imagine you’re a six-year-old T-Baller, and the opposing team that shows up is a Major League baseball team. How would you feel? Today, Pastor John points out how you can come up against an opponent you never want to face: God. All you have to do is be “proud.” Because God opposes the proud, and gives grace to the humble.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 5, as he begins his message, Steadfast In Suffering.

If you lived in the First Century, and you wanted to know about the person and work of Jesus Christ, whom would you ask? It would be great to talk with someone who’d been healed or had heard Him speak. But today, Pastor John has a better example: Peter. He saw Jesus both suffering (on the cross) and glorified (on the mount of transfiguration). So, when Peter explains what a Pastor should be, he’s talking from personal experience. The greatest qualification of your Pastor must be this: he must know Jesus.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 5, as he continues his message, Portrait Of A Pastor.

We love to read the Bible stories where someone who trusted in God was delivered. Daniel was protected from lions. Esther was saved from the king. David was spared multiple times. But what about the people who weren’t delivered? Today, Pastor John points out that in some cases, God saved His faithful followers from death. But in other cases, He allowed them to suffer, even unto death. Neither was the result of greater or lesser holiness. But there’s one thing you can always be sure of: God is in control.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he continues his message, Suffering As A Christian.

You often hear people talk about “luck.” “Wow, that sure was good luck!” Or “oh, that was terribly bad luck.” It’s as though things just “happen,” by themselves, at random, for no particular reason. But is that true? Not if you believe in God, according to Pastor John today. Because God has everything under control. If something distressing or harmful happens to you, it’s never by “happenstance.” It’s always by Providence. So, whether you’re prospering, or suffering, God has a purpose in it – for your good.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he begins his message, Suffering As A Christian.

What are some of the most important things to keep in mind when you’re living in the Last Days spoken of in the New Testament? Probably you’ve thought of things like: “be sober,” and “watch and pray.” Today, Pastor John says, “yes”, those are two of the things you must do. But there are others. And they have to do with your relationships with your fellow Christians. Here are some examples: have fervent love, practice hospitality without grudging, and use your gifts to serve others.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he continues his message, Living In The Last Days.

Sometimes you’ll hear a lot of buzz and excitement talking about the End Times, and the Last Days, and what’s gonna happen when. How should you react? Today, Pastor John shows that the New Testament has several very specific instructions about how you should live in these Last Days. And first and foremost: be sober. But what does that really mean? Do this: Keep calm. Don’t lose your sense of balance. Preserve your sanity. Then, you can continue on to the second instruction: watch and pray.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he brings his message, Living In The Last Days

If your goal is to become more like Jesus, how will you do that? There are probably many good answers you can think of, but how about this one from Pastor John today? “Be persecuted.” Huh? Yes, believe it or not, if you have the correct response to persecution, it can actually make a huge contribution toward developing a life of holiness. When you have the right attitudes, ambitions, activities, associations, and assurances, God will work holiness in your life – through the persecution you receive.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he continues his message, How To Face Suffering.

If you’re a Christian, your greatest aspiration is to become more like Jesus. Your plans, your ambitions, and your goals aren’t the driving factor of your life. Rather, it’s: “what does God want?” Today, Pastor John explains what happens when you do this: not everybody will be happy with you. (Just like, not everybody was happy with Jesus.) But, not only will Jesus give you the strength to suffer with Him, but He’ll also bring about great blessings in your life – when you face your suffering in the right way.Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of 1 Peter, chapter 4, as he begins his message, How To Face Suffering.
