23.06.16 “Encouragers” (1 Thess. 5:12-15)

 

Would you agree that people of Encouragement are among the most valuable people in your life, your city, and our world? Remember Barnabas, the man who traveled with the apostle Paul on their first missionary journey?  Barnabas had a nickname; did you know that? "Son of encouragement" (Acts 4:36) Could that describe you, my friend? Encouragement didn't come naturally to Paul. He was a trained Pharisee, a debater, and they were famous for pointing out deficiencies, anything a person did, or didn't do, that fell short of expectations! I think that's almost the opposite of an encourager, what do you think?  (Click here to see full text, images and links)     Today's Scripture is 1 Thess. 5:12-15. Choose below to read or listen.​​ Pastor Doug Anderson     “Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2) Have a comment or question about today’s chapter? I’m ready to hear from you, contact me here.
