Spend some time prayerfully answering the following questions in preparation for this week’s Community Group discussion.

1. Paul was an encourager (1:3-4), but he was also corrective (2:5, 3:6,10-12). How do you know when to encourage and when to correct? Can you do both?

3. What does it mean to be comforted by Jesus? (2:16-17)
