Join us for worship! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbA21L4NGow 2/8/26 Worship Service and Sermon from Brick Lane Community Church in Elverson, PA. Worship Leader: Matt Griffith Speaker: Dave Royes (Senior Pastor) Title: If That Should be God’s Will Text: 1 Peter 3:17-4:1 Outline: “A wonderful text is this, and a more obscure passage perhaps than any other in the Testament, so that I do not know for a certainty just what Peter means. . . . I cannot understand and I cannot explain it. And there has been no one who has explained it” ~Luther 1. A Better Way to Suffer 2. A Living Proof in Jesus 3. A Mature Way to Think “The world sneers at religious profession. It refuses to believe that it is genuine. It defiantly asserts that what is called Christian principle is only selfishness, and that it would not stand severe testing. Then, godly men [and women] are called to endure loss, suffering, or sorrow, not because there is any particular evil in themselves which needs to be eradicated—but because the Master needs their witness to answer the sneers of the world.” ~ JR Miller #bricklanecommunitychurch #bricklanechurch #elverson #pennsylvania #worship #sermon
