Just Look on the Bright Side

Week 3 of Cliche dives into the problematic nature of the cliche “Just Look on the Bright Side.” This sermon argues that such cliches can minimize real suffering and pain especially when applied to serious life challenges. In 2 Corinthians 4:17, Paul emphasize a balance between acknowledging real pain and maintaining hope in eternal glory. The challenge is for people to make a choice to focus their eyes on the spiritual which goes beyond simplistic optimism and embraces a deeper hope in God’s eternal plan.
