We all need encouragement. In today’s episode, we’re discussing how Christians can build one another up in the church—strengthening, restoring, and encouraging each other in both challenging seasons and the everyday rhythms of life.

II. Encouraging Others in Everyday Life

A. Be intentional:

i. Plan to encourage other Christians (Heb. 10:24).

ii. Be present with other Christians (Heb. 10:25).

C. Be bold and patient:

i. Exhort Christians (Heb. 3:13).

ii. Rebuke laziness, energize tiredness, strengthen weakness (1 Thess. 5:14).

iii. Be patient (1 Thess. 5:14). be patient with them all.

iv. Build with your words; do not tear down (Eph. 4:29).

D. Be mindful:

Challenge for the Week:

Think of someone in your church who could use encouragement. Reach out this week—and do it again next week. Build up the body of Christ one person at a time.

Encouragement is not optional—it’s essential. It’s how we reflect Christ to one another and display His love to the world.
