In this sermon, Pastor Zack continues his study of 1 Peter by looking at Peter’s call for us to arm ourselves to suffer in 1 Peter 4:1-6.

How, though, are we to arm ourselves to suffer? In this text, Peter gives us 3 Gospel Commitments we must make, 2 Personal Costs that we must be ready to endure, and 1 Encouraging Reminder for us to remember as we embrace suffering as an aspect of the Christian’s calling.

I. 3 Gospel Commitments (v.1-3)

1. Become A Person of Resolve (v.1a)
2. Live for the Will of God (v.1b-2)
3. Leave Human Passions Behind (v.3)

II. 2 Personal Costs (v.4)

1. Humiliation
2. Intimidation

III. 1 Encouraging Reminder (v.5-6)

1. God is the ultimate just judge, and He will right all wrongs
