Encourage One Another

Hebrews 3:12-14, Hebrews 10:25 , Ephesians 4:29

“Basement people” are the discouragers in our lives.

“Balcony people” are the great encouragers of our lives and we all need them!

Therefore, the Hebrew writer commanded them to continue to meet together for encouragement and to encourage each other daily.

How encouraging it must have been to those in need to have someone like Barnabas make a sacrifice on their behalf.

So, here’s Barnabas, a man who never wrote a book that made it into the Bible, but he encouraged two men who wrote over half of the New Testament.

Another very important way that our presence makes a difference is here at worship services and at the other gatherings of the church.

Words of encouragement can be given in many ways. We can do it privately or publicly. It can be done in person or by letter, email, text, or phone call.

Let’s be balcony people not basement people! May God help us learn to encourage one another.
