Get out of your comfort zone to come alongside others!
1. Share together in suffering
Comfort is not the absence of suffering, but the ability to endure suffering.
As Jesus “feels with us” (Hebrews 4:15), so we should “feel with” one another (1 Peter 3:8, Romans 12:15, Galatians 6:2)
How well do we really know one another?
Don’t forget: suffering is a season, not an event.
Bear with one another in the messiness of grief (Colossians 3:13, 1 Peter 4:7)
2. Share together in comfort
God works good through intimate church unity.
Humbly receive comfort from one another!
We cannot give what we do not have.
We must go to the God of all Comfort together!
