Pastor Jonathan Shradar preaches on 2 Corinthians 1:8-11. Followers of Jesus move from despair to hope as we persevere in prayer.

Sermon notes.

Small group questions:

How can a life of independence go wrong? What are signs to watch for?

What does relying on God practically look like for you?

What makes us forget or shy away from asking for prayer? How can we safely be more vulnerable in community?

How does the answered prayers of the saints highlight reliance on God and draw others to look to Jesus? Can we be about this?
