Carrying Each Other
When life gets hard, the instinct is to pull back and handle it alone. This session is about why that instinct fails, and how God actually delivers comfort to His people.
The Instinct
Why We Hide
The Source
The God of All Comfort
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction.

The Delivery
How the Comfort Arrives
That we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
2 Corinthians 1:4, ESV
The Command
Bear One Another's Burdens
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Why Showing Up Matters
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another.
