Have you ever stood in great need of comfort and encouragement? If so, you know that in time of affliction, there is no thought or word that has deeper meaning, nor any possession of greater value, than that of effective and genuine comfort. The objective of this study is to equip us to have the assurance that there is comfort available, and to know how to be comforted, as well as how to be a comfort to others in the fires of affliction.

Learn to Discern
Dorothy Sayers said "God cannot exact from man anything more than He did from Himself." We are to discern evil, so we can defend ourself and overcome. We are called to a Christian Knighthood (1Pe 3:8-12). We can differ and argue doctrine, but it's important to be gracious. Peter emphasizes the cross (1Pe 1:17-21) and Jesus death, burial, and resurrection (1Pe 2:21-24, 1Pe 3:17-18, 1Pe 4:1-2, 2Co 5:14-15). God chose Christ (Isa 42:1). Our choice to trust the Son is free. 1Pe 3:10-12 Seek and pursue peace ("with God" Rom 5:1; "from God" Gal 5:22; "of God" Phi 4:6-7)
