September series: When people make time for us, it can bring us joy — it’s like a light shining on a dark day. Caring for one another isn’t always the easy thing to do, but it certainly is what Jesus asks of us. When Jesus gave the command in Matthew 5 to let our light shine, it wasn’t just to bring joy into each other’s lives but also to bring glory to God. We are reflections of who God is, and as we “Live Bright” this month, we’ll discover exactly how we can shine God’s light.

Comfort others the way God comforts you.Sharing God’s Comfort • 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
For Week 4, we head to 2 Corinthians 1:3-4. Paul was writing a letter to the church in Corinth in which he shared about the troubles he and Timothy had faced. Yet in the midst of all their difficulties, Paul and Timothy were still able to praise God because of the comfort God offered them. In this passage, Paul encouraged the believers in Corinth to offer comfort to others who were in trouble because of the comfort they had experienced from God.
Family Discussion Questions:
- How can you show someone you care?
- What’s one way you feel God comforts you when you’re facing something sad or difficult?
- How can you use those experiences to comfort others the way God comforts you?
Engage in everyday moments together this week:
- Morning time: As your kid starts their day, serve them their favorite “comfort food” breakfast — even if it’s leftover pizza.
- Mealtime: At a meal this week, have everyone at the table answer this question: “What are some ways God has comforted you when you’ve been upset or sad?”
- Drive time: While on the go, ask your kid, “Have you or a friend been upset, and someone made you/them feel better with their words or actions? What did that person do or say?”
- Bedtime: Pray for each other: “God, thank You for the ways You have comforted us when we need You. May we follow Your example and comfort others with love and kindness when they are in need.”
