Join us this week as we continue an extended study through 2 Corinthians, centering on the themes of comfort and affliction. Addressing the doctrine of suffering, we see that suffering draws believers closer to God, teaching reliance on His strength over self. Comfort, as the other side of the same coin, is grounded in God's faithfulness, His promises, and restorative forgiveness among believers. Through the example of Paul’s dealings with the Corinthian church, we are called to pursue confession, extend forgiveness, build restoration, and cling to the eternal hope of God's victory through Christ. True comfort is found in God's character and His unchanging promises.
