1 Peter 4:12-19

Big idea: When I experience suffering for the Gospel, I rejoice because I am confident that God is in complete control of all things

When I experience trials for the sake of Christ:
1) I am not surprised by my suffering (v. 12)

2) I rejoice and am blessed in my suffering (v. 13-14)

3) I am not ashamed and God is glorified through my suffering (v.16)

4) I entrust my soul to a faithful creator in the midst of my suffering (v. 19)
