Suffering for Christ

Following Jesus was never promised to be easy—but it was always promised to be worth it. In this week's message, *Suffering for Christ**, we continue our **Reason to Rejoice* series by exploring how the Apostle Paul found unshakable joy while facing imprisonment, opposition, and uncertainty. This message isn't about seeking hardship or pretending pain doesn't exist—it's about discovering that God is faithful even when following Him comes at a cost. Through Paul's example, we're reminded that every challenge endured for Christ has purpose, every act of faith leaves a testimony, and every sacrifice made in His name is seen by God. If you've ever felt discouraged for standing firm in your faith, questioned whether following Jesus is worth it, or wondered how God could use your difficult season, this message is a powerful reminder that your faithfulness is never wasted and your reason to rejoice has never changed.
