Encourage One Another
Today were goingt to talk about a very vital aspect of building a relationship supportive church.
The Bible teaches that we are in this together.
That the Holy Spirit places every member of the Body of Christ right where He wants them.
You are not here by accident
but rather by divine appointment.
And your not just here to fill a seat.
God has a purpose for you.
And one of His primary purposes for all of us, is to Build one another UP.
One of the primal ways of doing that it to intentially build each other up.
Let’s pray
This is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible.
not just because of verses 12& 13 although its probably good to memorize them, and keep them close to your heart
This chapter is packed full of useful instructions, and today we will springboard from verse 11
Whenever you see the word “therefore” it good practice to take a look and discover why its “there”
This letter from Paul to the church at thessalonica reminds of that we are different from the world.
We are of the light, not the darkness, so we don’t have the same concerns as the those caught in darkness are consummed by.
Because of Jesus’s death and subsequent ressurection we are now with Him in the light in this life and the life to come
Therefore we should encourage and build one another up!
I like how the Apostle Paul puts in the last part of the verse “just as you also are doing”
He’s saying “ I know you are already do this.
Keep it up!”
There are many of you who are already doing this.
That’s great.
Keep it up.
let’s this message be a gentle reminder of what your already doing.
for some of you this may be a struggle.
you may have wounds of the past that get in the way of you doing this.
well let’s discover together how to build and encourage one another.
I would like you to think about someone who you like to be around.
who you like to hang out with
everyone thinking of someone.
Now as you think about this person, is one major characterics of them is that they encourage you?
pretty good chance
Why?
well is natural to want to be around a person who encourages you.
just like its natural to want to avoid those who discourages you.
One of the best ways to let your light shine in this dark world is to be an encourager.
Define “encouragement”
means to “give courage”
Define “courage”
The meaning of COURAGE is mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty.
Definition:
give support and advice to (someone) so that they will do or continue to do something.
encouragement is not simply saying something nice or polite to someone
Its not just giving someone compiments, that may be part of it”
complimenting their clothes, are their haircut
It’s actually speaking into them God’s truth so they have the tenacity to do what God wants them to do.
let’s admit.
When God askes us to do something.
It often outside our comfort zone.
can I get an Amen
It often stretches us beyond what we feel we are capable of.
its hard, its difficult
often we are forced to change the way we are thinking.
When God wants you to do something, its often a requirement that you will need people along the way.
Although I like technology one thing became very obvious to me during the lockdowns
the church cannot survive without meeting together
Now I’m not talking about the current model of church.
sing a few song
Throw a few bucks in the plate
hear a long winded preacher.
true we can can do all those things online
but the one thing we tried but could not do was for each of you to be an encouragement to each other
I believe part of the new wine skin, is a return to the original purpose of the church.
I know this sounds foreign to us.
eash one:
has a psalm.
We have one leader who selects the songs
has a teaching: 1 Preacher preaches
Has a revelation: not alot of opportunity for people to prophesy
Speaks in tongues and interprets..... been a while
The church as a whole has fallen into this pattern of the song leader leads, the pastor preaches, maybe someone will prophesy or give a tongue in Holy Spirit filled churches.
but what has this lead us too.
A church for the most part, is people come to be served
sing songs I like, preach a sermon that tickles my ears.
don’t make me feel uncomfortable.
It’s like were producing a show.
that’s how I felt during the lockdown
I felt more like a producer than a pastor
rather the purpose of the church is for us to come together and serve one another with the gifts God has given you.
What is this going to look like an the 21st century church.
I don’t have all the answers.
But I know we have to get there.
One of the ways we are going to get there is by encouraging one another.
Sometime that encouragment breaks us out of the bondage of sin
Hebrew 3:13
Hardened by the deceitfulness of sin
This passage is a warning to Christian believers not to allow stubbornness, sin, or a lack of faith to rob them of God's promised blessings.
The nation of Israel suffered when it failed to "hold fast," and spent forty years wandering in the desert.
So too can a Christian suffer when they lack trust and faith in God.
One key to avoiding this pitfall is the influence of other Christian believers.
One of the great benefits of healthy church relationships is loving correction.
Having a meaningful, personal relationship with other Christians means "watching each other's back."
This means warning our brothers and sisters in Christ when they are being pulled away into sin and helping them to resist temptation and error.
The urgency is highlighted by using the phrase "as long as it is called 'today.'"
Today we would say "do it while you still can."
The New Testament often explains that sin is deceptive, destructive, and deadly
It can also create a spiritual callous, making us less sensitive to our own sin
We shoud love each other enough to "encourage, uplift, or challenge" each other when it comes to living a righteous life.
