2 Corinthians 1:1-7

We’ve all had our share of suffering—it’s part of the human experience. It’s a reality that we struggle to understand, and it frustrates us because we know what suffering can do to the human spirit. Suffering can lead us to despair; it changes us for the worse—or for the better. Trials can lead us to lose faith or could bring character, even intimacy with God. Suffering provides an opportunity to experience divine comfort, which in turn equips us to comfort others in similar circumstances. In this message, dive deeply into what the opening of 2 Corinthians says about the unexpected gift of suffering.
