  • Bible verse: Peter 4:12-13
    • 12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
  • There aren’t a lot of groups that can talk about personal issues like F3 can. I felt like, especially living in this area, everyone had a happy marriage with 2.2 kids and no problems.  The thing I like about F3 is that everyone feels open to talk about the realities of life.  There are trials and tribulations in everyone’s lives: marital struggles, struggles with children, struggles with community.  You name it, everyone is going through something, whether they talk about or not.  This Bible verse tells us, don’t be surprised when you have ordeals that test you, but focus on what you can learn from it.  You will be better for having gone through it.
