Teachings

Using the powerful, true story of Hannah Overton’s wrongful conviction, this sermon explores why following Jesus often leads us through the rugged terrain of sacrifice and suffering rather than a path of predictable comfort. Drawing from 1 Peter, we discover how to reframe our trials, cast our anxieties on a God who deeply cares for us, and resist the real enemy's attempts to steal our hope. Ultimately, this message reminds us that for the faithful Christian, the fiery trials of today are never the final word—temporary suffering always gives way to God's eternal glory, restoration, and unshakable strength.
