The God of All Comfort - Chino Seventh-day Adventist Church

 This message helps us to better understand God’s compassion for us. Some of Jesus’ last words to the disciples were “let not your heart be troubled”. The Lord doesn’t want us to have trouble hearts. He wants to comfort us and encourage us no matter what we might be going through right now. The following is the Scripture outline we used in the presentation of this message as the Chino Seventh-day Adventist Church. May you be blessed and encouraged in your walk with the Lord through this study.
