Leaning Into Comfort

CommUNIty: Don't Do Life Alone

February 11, 2024 • Jordan Hansen • 2 Corinthians 1:3–11

We all have moments in our lives, where we feel crushed. And it is where we turn in those moments that determine how those moments will shape the rest of our lives. We can rely on ourselves and “pull ourselves up by the bootstraps,” as they say. Or, we can lean in. Lean into what? We can lean into the church, by God design, to build our confidence in the only One who can TRULY rescue us from whatever it is that is crushing us. Most often, he uses the comfort we’ve received from Him to be generously extended to those around us.


TALK ABOUT IT - Questions to GROW through with family, friends, & myself.

1. Reflecting on the sermon introduction story of the man who stopped attending church. What does it mean?

2. Have you ever experienced a moment when you felt completely crushed or overwhelmed? How did you respond? 3. How can the church be a community of comfort for those walking though painful circumstances?

4. How can I LEAN INTO community by comforting others during this time of pastoral transition?

5. PRAYER: “Father, help me to be comforted by you and to comfort others as I LEAN IN to community.”
