From Pastor Rick Beaudry's sermon "Trusting in God" (2 Corinthians 1:1-11), we learn about finding comfort and strength through life's difficulties by trusting in God's control. Through an examination of Paul's experiences with suffering and persecution, Pastor Beaudry explores how God uses our trials to transform us and bring us closer to Christ. Drawing from personal experiences and biblical examples, he emphasizes that suffering is not a sign of God's absence but rather an opportunity to experience His comfort and grace, reminding us that God promises to never leave us as orphans and will provide the strength to endure.
