Suffering should not surprise us because Christ himself suffered in the flesh and calls us to do the same. This week, Ptr. Nathan Tee reminds us that in suffering, we are privileged to intimately share in Christ’s obedience to the Father’s will and learn to trust Him more with what we face day to day.

While the Christian life is blessed, suffering is an unavoidable reality when we live in a world that views life very differently. This week, Ptr. Jared Co urges us to rethink our view of suffering and prepare ourselves to imitate Christ as we face many trials as pilgrims in this world.

How do we respond when some people seek to harm us on our journey as pilgrims and God’s holy people? This week, Ptr. Joseph Ouano urges us to do good even when we are wronged because God continues to bless us and can use our trials as opportunities for the Gospel.

When God is our guide, our lives as pilgrims impact everyone around us. Ptr. Nathan Tee urges us to be conscious of our role as stewards of God’s goodness and to live out our marriages according to God’s design.
