Text: 1 Thessalonians 3:1-13
Encouragement is something that we all long for and need. While the topic does not tend to be exciting or glamorous, encouragement is vital to our health as Christians and one that we must intentionally embrace in our lives. Our calling as followers of Jesus in this fallen world is to come alongside one another, to lift up one another, and to refresh one another in the Lord and in the truth of His Word. What we see in today’s text is a beautiful picture of the mutual encouragement that is experienced in the body of Christ when we are in community with one another. We invite you to listen today to be both encouraged and exhorted in fulfilling this wonderful calling.
