Anchored | 1 Peter 3:13-22 | When Doing Good Still Hurts
Let Your Life Preach | 1 Peter 3:13–22
Suffering is something we all face—whether it’s rejection, loss, or injustice. But what if your suffering had a greater purpose?
In our latest sermon at Friends Church Sacramento, we unpacked 1 Peter 3:13–22, a passage written to early believers facing persecution. Peter’s message wasn’t “try harder,” it was “trust deeper.”
Here are 3 powerful truths from the message:
God Sees. When life feels unfair, worship anyway.
God Rewards. Your hope can be your greatest witness.
God Judges Justly. You may not see justice now, but God will make all things right.
Whether you're exploring faith or searching for a church near you that speaks to your real life—our community is here for you.
