This is the sermon delivered by Rev. Don Van Antwerpen to the congregation of the First Reformed Church of New Brunswick, New Jersey, on Sunday, May 21, 2023.

Drawing from Micah 6:6-8 and 1 Peter 4:12-19, join us for an examination of what it really means to "suffer" for Christ, and how many of us - even progressive, mainstream Christians - sometimes get caught up mistaking suffering for righteousness, and miss our chance to truly do the work of God!
