Suffering that Pleases the Lord. 1 Peter 2:18-25 | Adam Spencer | 07.12.2026 GGCC

Today's Scripture “18 Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unreasonable. 19 For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly. 20 For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God. 21 For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, 22 who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; 23 and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; 24 and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. 25 For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.” 1 Peter 2:18-25 ============================= Sermon Archive: https://ggccva.org/2026 What we teach https://ggccva.org/what-we-teach-1 ============================= Our social media: ============================= Website https://ggccva.org/ Instagram   / ggcchurch   Facebook   / ggcchurchva
