The Fingerprints of God 6: A Precious Gift You Cannot Buy in the Store - 2 Corinthians 7:2-16

If you were to look up the word "comfort" on your phone and see what kinds of images come up, all kinds of things appear: chocolate cake, cups of coffee, some beautiful getaway, maybe a really soft bed. Some pets show up too.Difficult times come to all of us, so we look for comfort, and the question is always where to find it and how to access it. Much as we would like chocolate cake or a trip to the mall to comfort us, not all of these things are as effective as we would like.But God does comfort us, and that is what I want to talk about here today. God's comfort goes deeper. It touches the soul. It goes deep inside, so fear loses its grip and doubt blows off to the side. Loss becomes less painful. Loss becomes manageable.The comfort of God is a remarkable thing, and the Scriptures talk a lot about it. But the question here is how to access God's comfort. Today's sermon is called "A Precious Gift You Can't Buy in the Store," and I am really talking about the comfort of God.Extra reading: Psalm 133Preacher: Bill Dyck
