Christ Covenant Church
This helpful series reveals how we can grow even during difficult times in life. By persevering, trusting God, forgiving others, and serving others we can squeeze lemonade from the lemons that life throws our way.
2 Corinthians 1:3-11 NLT
“THERE IS A REASON”
01. RELATE
2 CORINTHIANS 1:4-5 He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with His comfort through Christ.
Mark 10:45 NLT
02. RELY
2 CORINTHIANS 1:8b-9 We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead.
