February 19, 2022 ”Overcomer, pt. 4” - Pastor Tara VinCross

Sabbath, February 19, Pastor Tara VinCross shares part 4 in our sermon series called, “Overcomer.” How are we to make it through hard times? Revelation 12:11 declares, "they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony” - our experience of salvation and sharing our story. By looking to Jesus and sharing our story we are strengthened to make it to the other side. We are journeying deeper together through a letter written by the disciple Peter to a group of exiled believers. 

This week we turn to 1 Peter 2:11-25. In this and next week's message, Peter responds to three unfair social systems of the day: autocratic government, slavery, and male dominance in marriage. What does it look like to live and witness within an unjust system? The question still speaks to us today.    

See what it really means that “Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps” (1 Peter 2:21)
