Summary
Do you know someone who’s about to throw the towel in? Don’t let ‘em! They need you to “jump in the ring” with them and “double team” the enemy. It’s called ENCOURAGEMENT! Chip Ingram teaches us how to become an awesome encourager, and how to lift up those who are down.
Main Points
Sometimes the only difference between success and failure is a simple word of encouragement!
What is encouragement?
- Meaning of the word:
- Use in the New Testament:
- Use in the Old Testament:
Summary: We are to aid, help, support, and intercede for each other by means of comforting in affliction, strengthening in faith, and motivating toward righteousness. In short, encouragement (building up others) is taking the truth of Scripture by life and word in the context of meaningful and caring relationships, to restore perspective and, thereby, provide hope which carries us through affliction and above complacency.
Why is encouragement so important?
- Because God commands it. --1 Thessalonians 5:11
- Because sin is deceitful. --Hebrews 3:13
- Because spiritual growth requires it. --1 Thessalonians 3:2
- Because we lose perspective so easily. --2 Corinthians 7:3-7
- Hebrews10:19-25
- Since we have access into God’s presence. --Hebrews 10:19
- Since we never go into God’s presence alone. --Hebrews 10:21
- “Let us draw near…” Biblical encouragement restores perspective. --Hebrews 10:22
- “Let us hold fast…” Biblical encouragement promotes endurance. --Hebrews 10:23
- “Let us stimulate one another…” Biblical encouragement inspires spiritual growth. --Hebrews 10:24
- By stimulating one another to Christ-like attitudes and actions in relationships.
- By refusing to allow one another to “drift” from regular attendance at worship or small group times.
- By reminding one another of the certainty and accountability involved in Christ’s return.
