Unshakeable Hope

Pastor Jonathan Shradar preaches on 2 Corinthians 1:3-7. Followers of Jesus face affliction with the unshakeable hope found in the mercy of God and share that comfort with others. 

Sermon notes.

Small group questions:

Why is affliction normative for the Christian? Wouldn’t it be better if faith in Jesus moved us to “easy street?”

How has the Lord comforted you recently in affliction?

What are some of the ways we extend comfort to one another in the church? How does vulnerability make that easier or more meaningful?

How can we extend the comfort of Christ in our neighborhoods and workplaces? What are some steps you plan to take?

Sermon notes

Keep the conversation going… 

How do we combat the independent spirit of our age and embrace our identity as the church?

What are the ways we can ensure we are owning the grace and peace of Christ?

How does being “saints” fuel us for life and confidence in Christ’s purpose for us?

How do you feel called to expose the gospel and how can we support you in it?
