Comfort
Scripture Reading 1 John 2:15-17
Key Thought: Our desired life is more defined by comfort than challenge.
I. Our cultures call to comfort through personal preferences.
A. Chasing counterfeit comfort…
1. Reveal spiritual emptiness. (1 John 2:15)
2. Eliminates our need for faith. (Hebrews 11:1, 6)
II. Our God’s call to comfort through personal relationship.
A. Chasing divine discomfort produces…
1. Contagious comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3-5)
2. Complete-ness. (James 1:2-4)
Comfort comes when we see God’s love reflected in our life.
Take Away:
God created comfort to come out of challenges, completeness, and connection to Him. Our culture’s comfort is a charming counterfeit.
