We only have two weeks left in our Dangerous Life series, looking at I Peter. In the last few months we really have talked about that life is dangerous, we all know that, but also that Christ calls us to live a dangerous life for Him. We are called to walk in faith, and live out His example in school, at work, and at home. We hope that this series has encouraged you and helped you to grow. As we wrap this series up, we will continue to be called to live the dangerous life, but the best part of that is that living for Christ, although difficult, is not done alone. We live the dangerous life through His power and within community.

Join us for week eight of the “Dangerous life” series. This week covers 1 Peter 4:11-19 and Kevin focused on the pain and suffering in this life, and how we can expect pain as we identify with the path of Christ.
11If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Suffering for Being a Christian
12Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. 13But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 14If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. 15If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.16However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. 17For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18And,
“If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”[a]
19So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.
