What does God give to Christians caught in the midst of difficult situations & obstacles? A good life. Pastor Nate preaches through 1 Peter 3:8-12 showing some of the essential characteristics needed in order to stand in the midst of suffering, trials, and hardships. Christians need to be of one mind, realizing we engage with the world around us by standing together. We need to bless when cursed, guard our tongues and have a posture of repentance before God each and every day.
