Sadly, many of us were not comforted, but developed ungodly reactions. Discover what comfort is NOT, and what really does help!

    Are You a Comforter (3 of 3) Barnabus - The Son of Comfort - is a tremendous role model of a Comforter/Encourager. Study the key qualities in his life that gave him this ministry.

      Key Verse: Romans 15:4 – "Whatever things were written before, were written for our learning, that we, through patience and comfort of the scriptures, might have hope.

      Whatever was written before (speaking about the rest of the Bible) was written with a purpose in mind - for our learning that we, through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

      One of the things that's inevitable is that, everyone experiences at some point in our life, times of pressure, difficulty, distress.

      Even Jesus Himself had great distress. Jesus said: in the world you will experience tribulation, or pressures, or difficulties.

      How many recognise that life is not all sweet? Lots of stuff happens that you don't like, or wish didn't happen. So what we're looking at is: how to find solutions that work for you in those times?

      There are many sources of problems - you can probably add your own list to this, but let me throw out some I was thinking of...

      Marriage can be a source of pressure and difficulty and pain. Family can be a source of pressure and difficulty
