This week, we're looking at a beautiful and powerful truth: God keeps his promises.

We've all heard promises that sounded good but didn't hold up. They leave us skeptical and unsure of who or what we should trust. But Scripture reminds us that God is not like people who fail or forget. He's faithful, and every promise he makes us finds its "Yes!" in Jesus.

2 Corinthians 1:20
For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.

As you look ahead into this week, spend time with this verse. Let it remind you that comfort, peace, strength, and hope aren't wishful thinking - they're promises God will keep.

Let your "Amen" be your "Yes!" to trust him today. 

Discussion Questions:
Ice Breaker: What's one promise (big or small) someone made to you that really meant something, either because they kept it or didn't?

How have you seen someone in your community, church, or family reflect God's comfort to someone else?

Read 2 Corinthians 1:1–7 and Reflect: What stands out about the comfort God promises? What connection do you see between receiving comfort and becoming someone who gives comfort?

Where do you usually turn when you're overwhelmed or in pain?

Are there any false comforts, like busyness, distraction, or blame, that you tend to rely on more than God?

Reflect and Respond: What might it look like to intentionally receive God's comfort this week? How can you reflect God's comfort to someone else, perhaps someone going through something similar to what you've already faced?

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for the overwhelming comfort you offer me. I know I have not done anything to deserve it, but you continue to provide it without hesitation. Your promises are wonderful, and when I reflect on them, they make my heart sing. Today and every day, Lord, I say “Yes!” to you, trusting in the beauty of the promises of better days ahead. In Jesus' name, I pray, amen.

Series Theme Verse:

For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.
