What Kind of Comforter Are You?

How to Receive God’s Peace and Actively Lift Up the Body of Christ

The message uses Job’s suffering to ask what kind of comforters we are when we’re the ones in pain, contrasting outward encouragement with the tendency to turn inward and become “miserable comforters.” It points to our Christian hope (future glory and resurrection) as the basis for real comfort, giving three practical guidelines that allow us to share the comfort we’ve received as one interconnected Body in Christ.
