Do We Need Persecution

Session 6.21 for May 25, 2014

As we have walked through the book of 1 Peter, we have talked a lot about how these early Christians faced persecution. Yet, somehow, in spite of all of the efforts to stamp it out, Christianity survived. It survived because these early believers were so transformed by following Christ that they could not help but share the good news. Is it is possible, that the freedom to practice our religion today makes us so comfortable that we have lost that same passion. Do we need persecution to bring out the passion in us?
