David denHartog teaches from Acts 12. Suffering and persecution often happen to those who believe in the gospel, but all people, believers or not, will at one point suffer in this life because we live in a broken world. Many times God does not intervene in our sufferings, but that does not mean He isn’t with us, on the contrary, He is always with us.
