Pastor Marc Williamson preaches from 2 Corinthians 1:3–11 on the comfort God provides through His resurrection power.

Paul teaches that God is “the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.” This comfort is more than human sympathy. It is the life-giving, strengthening power of the God “which raiseth the dead.”

Through Paul’s severe trial in Asia, God brought him to the end of self-reliance and taught him to trust fully in the Lord. The same resurrection power that raised Jesus Christ from the grave is available to sustain and deliver believers in times of trouble, suffering, weakness, and despair.

This message reminds us that God does not waste our pain. He comforts His people so that they may, in turn, comfort others with the same comfort they have received from Him.
