1 Petrus 4:16

This Life.Church Bible Plan is a study of 1 Peter to accompany Pastor Craig Groeschel’s series, Different. In this world, you’ll have struggles. You’ll face opposition. You’ll be challenged. And there’s a reason for that: this world is not your home. So answer hate with love, find joy in the midst of trials, and rely on a strength beyond yourself. You’re meant to be … different .

In hierdie lewe kan ons dalk struikel en val, ons kan van koers af raak, maar ons kan vertrou dat God ons sal lei terwyl ons in Hom groei. Mallory Larsen moedig jou met hierdie kort oordenkings aan om vas te hou aan jou geloof dat God by jou is, terwyl ons steeds gevorm word namate ons meer oor God (en onsself!) leer.

As jy vir Jesus ly, dan moedig hierdie eerste brief van Petrus jou aan dat jy in Jesus se voetspore volg, wat eerste vir ons gely het. Reis daagliks deur 1 Petrus terwyl jy na die oudiostudie luister en uitgesoekte verse uit God se woord lees.

The Bible tells us that "in His presence is fullness of joy" and that "the joy of the Lord is our strength". Joy isn't simply another emotion; it is a fruit of the Spirit and one of the best weapons in your arsenal to fight against discouragement, depression, and defeat. Learn what the Bible has to say about joy, and strengthening yourself to become a defiantly joyful Christian.
