Grace and Grit: A Series on Suffering

C.S. Lewis once said: “I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.” The call to the Christian life is not one of comfort, but one that carries a cross and follows Christ. Has this mindset been lost on us? Has the Church in America gotten too ‘comfortable?’ This series in 1 Peter will dive into these questions as well as what the Christian life looks like in regard to suffering for the faith much like the saints who have gone before us. Together, we will build grit and receive grace as we are called to carry our crosses and follow Christ. It is because of His death and resurrection that we can live out our lives for Him. Even lives of suffering.
