Have you ever stood for something you believed in, only to be laughed at or criticized? Following Christ can sometimes feel that way. When we choose to live for Him, we may face rejection, misunderstanding, or even suffering, but He never said it would be easy. Pastor Chris will tell you today that Jesus endured far more for you, and He calls you to share in His sufferings with courage and faith. Every trial you face for His name is not wasted; it refines your heart and brings glory to the One you follow.
