With Strength

Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. Have you ever found yourself at a loss for words when someone you care about is hurting? It’s easy to feel powerless. You want to comfort, but you don’t want to say the wrong thing. You want to show up, but you’re not sure how. This desire within us—to help, to be useful, to make a difference—is Christlike. After all, we follow Jesus, who taught us to move towards the hurting and be the hands and feet of God. But what if offering our presence could be just as powerful as taking action? In this sermon, we explore the comfort God offers us and calls us to extend to others. Together, we consider how God can shape us into people of deeper strength and compassion in a hurting world.
