Why Am I Suffering If I’m Obeying God?” (1 Peter 4:12-16)

In this powerful message from 1 Peter 4:12–16, Rabbi Cosmo Panzetta unpacks the fiery trials faced by early believers—and what they mean for us today. Suffering isn’t a detour in the life of faith—it’s often the very road Messiah walked and invited us to follow. Learn why the path of obedience sometimes feels painful, how God uses suffering to refine us, and how we’re called to respond—not with retaliation, but with trust, surrender, and supernatural love. If you’ve been walking through hardship and asking, “Is this what I signed up for?”—this message is for you.
