2 Corinthians 1:3-11
January 24, 2021
Pastor Rich Lanning
Introduction:
I. Affliction can prepare and teach us how to comfort others. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4.
II. To suffer in faith is to share in the sufferings of Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:5.
III. Our affliction can be of benefit to God's Kingdom. 2 Corinthians 1:6.
IV. Suffering taught Paul to trust in the God who specializes in resurrection.
2 Corinthians 1:8-10.
Questions for reflection:
- What does Paul say are some of the positive outcomes of affliction?
- In what ways has God comforted you in a time of affliction?
- How might you turn around and use that comfort from God to encourage someone else?
