Some of us think that when we become followers of Jesus, life becomes easy. This week, we will think about 2 Corinthians 1.3-11 and how Paul experienced many afflictions. We will hear a testimony from a member couple on how God delivered them from a time of trial. We want to be the kind of church family that talks openly and truthfully about the hard realities of our journey in this life. Wonderfully, the Lord Jesus can comfort us in our afflictions through His body, the church.
