Sermon: God’s spiritual formula for comfort

God’s spiritual formula for comfort

Introduction

The key word of this paragraph is found in the twelfth verse. It says, ‘people took the young man home alive and were greatly comforted

Illustration: It’s common practice to use Paracetamol in case of a headache because it brings instant comfort. How cum these tiny pills are capable of bringing comfort to such a complicated unit like the human body? What you see is only a tiny single pill. Yet each pill is the combination of three powerful ingredients capable of relieving pain, put together using a scientific formula.

Likewise in this chapter we find a spiritual formula of three biblical ingredients that comforted the Troasians in the moment of a great disaster.

How to confront sin from your pulpit

2 Timothy 3:16 says that God’s word is useful for rebuking. It is important that preachers though not in a regular basis confront sin from the pulpit when ever the need rises.

There are however some principles that I follow in confrontational preaching and most of the time the results have proved to be rewarding.

Christian life is not a cakewalk. Definitely not when you are in charge of something. Spiritual, emotional and even physical storms and shipwrecks are inevitable in Christian leadership.
