BE (Be Brave: Be a Hope Giver)
Summary
The sermon addresses the experience of believers facing suspicion, misunderstanding, and criticism for their faith, drawing parallels to the early Christian community described in 1 Peter. It highlights how early Christians were viewed as strange and disloyal due to their refusal to conform to Roman culture and societal norms. The takeaway is to remember how to live in light of misunderstanding and potential persecution, even though our current situation is not comparable to the intense trials faced by those in the ancient world.
