Flourishing in Suffering: Is it Possible?

This Sunday, we are diving into Matthew 5:10-12, where Jesus flips our understanding of suffering on its head. He tells us, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,” showing us that hardship and opposition aren’t signs that we’re failing—they’re actually opportunities to grow and flourish in our faith.

Following Jesus doesn’t come with a promise of an easy life, but it does come with the strength to stand firm, even when the world pushes back. We’ll explore how staying faithful through tough times brings a deeper connection with God and lays up eternal rewards that far outweigh any earthly struggle. Jesus shows us how to flourish even in suffering, and this message will help you find hope and purpose, no matter what you’re facing.

Please pray for Pastor Steve and the team as they prepare for the service. We are looking forward to what God is going to do this Sunday!
