Encourage One Another

One Anothering One Another, Part 4

June 23, 2024 • CJ Gonzalez • 1 Thessalonians 4:16–18, Hebrews 10:24–25, 1 Thessalonians 5:1–11, Proverbs 18:24, Hebrews 3:13

Encouragement can be awkward. We don’t really know what to say, so we just make pleasant comments about superficial things. Paul seems to have in mind something deeper when he writes in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up...” When Paul writes those words, perhaps his friend Barnabas came to mind. Barnabas was a notoriously encouraging person.

THE BIG IDEA: Encouragement must take place in order to finish the race.

What do the "One Anothers" of bearing burdens, and encouraging have in common? They require you to know how to do each of them. They require that the "One Anothers" are known bye other "One Anothers". Being known can be scary, especially to be fully known. For people to know the real us means revealing something we might be scared to reveal. Today we talk about revealing to one another is part of the healing one another in God's plan.

Bear One Another's Burdens

There is an often-ignored principle that determines the quality and direction of our lives. While we are quick to recognize the importance of this principle in our children’s lives, as adults, we feel like we can disregard it. However, the truth is that we are just as impacted by the power of this principle now, as we were when we were younger. Today, we will discuss how we can become intentional about harnessing this principle for our spiritual development. THE BIG IDEA: Jesus followers love one another by bearing one another's burdens.

Spur One Another

June 9, 2024 • Don Dees • Hebrews 10:22–25

Many of us have viewed faith as something we do alone. We might have said that it’s private. But there’s a limit to our faith growth when we go it alone. There’s a deepening to our faith that we only experience together. When it comes to consistently growing our faith, “we” is greater than “me.” Who’s spurring on your faith and whose faith are you spurring on? THE BIG IDEA: When we create circles and spur one another on, we are Fulfilling Jesus’ Command.
