One Another #2 - Encourage One Another

When life hurts, isolation can make faith harder to hold. Hebrews pictures Christians as sheep who cannot safely guide or defend themselves, so self-shepherding is no answer. Jesus is the great shepherd who laid down His life and was raised from death, equipping His people to do God's will. He cares for them through daily, honest encouragement between peers and through trusted church leaders, without excusing coercion or abuse. Opening life to this mutual care helps expose sin's deceit and keeps confidence in Christ firm. Bible References: Hebrews 3:12–14, 10:24–25, 13:17–25 Preacher: Tony Van Drimmelen
