Humility in Suffering

Series: 1 Peter: Full of Hope

Category: Suffering, Gospel

Speaker: Nic Hill

In this sermon from 1 Peter 5:6-11, we were reminded that we are not of this world. We were created for Eden, and God is faithfully redeeming us unto Himself. As we live in the tension of this world, awaiting the new Eden, Peter encourages us to humble ourselves under God's mighty hand and cast our anxiety on Him. This reminder helps us to not focus on the things of this world but on God's sovereign and caring nature. In verses 8-9, we are warned that Satan seeks to devour. We have an active enemy. We are called to resist the devil by standing firm in our faith, knowing that one day Christ will restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish us with Him forever.
