    God never works the same way twice. There is a lot of Scripture reading in this sermon. This was a sermon I preached as we were getting ready to move our building.

    There is a lot going on in our lives right now. I am sure that our dinner table is a lot like yours and the conversation’s have been a lot alike. What if we don’t find land? What if we build a building and we can’t pay for it? What if more people stop giving and we can’t afford to pay our ...read more

    based on 55 ratings
     | 13,140 views

    Encouragement has a two-fold emphasis: to comfort or reassure and to challenge or admonish. Discouragement tears down; Encouragement builds up. The question is "Are you an encourager or a discourager?"

    ARE YOU AN ENCOURAGER OR A DISCOURAGER? HEBREWS 10:24-25 "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting (encouraging) one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day ...read more

    A sermon that considers how we can use our talents. It uses an enchanting story about a ballerina to illustrate how our giftedness contributes to the building of the Kingdom.

    Wile E Coyote furiously chases Roadrunner. The bird suddenly stops. The coyote tries but he can’t, and he skids past the roadrunner out to the edge of the cliff.

    We have the power in our tongue to build people up or tear them down. Let’s use that power for the good and discover the tremendous power of encouragement

    The Power of an Encouraging Word Do you remember that old cowboy song called “Home on the Range”? One of the lines says, “Where seldom is heard a discouraging word.” What a powerful statement that is if you really think about it. Imagine what life would be like without discouraging words.

    Little lizards crawl around church building in Asia and no one seems to mind because everyone knows that they are harmless and they catch bugs that are harmful. Not a bad work ethic.

    We are looking at the book of Proverbs. Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own. Remember last week we met two women who live in the pages of the book of Proverbs: Lady Wisdom and Madame Folly. The final question is: who are you going to ...read more
