Do you feel like you get enough encouragement? How are you at giving encouragement? This week we discussed the importance of encouragement in the life of a follower of Jesus, using examples from the apostle Paul's actions in the book of Acts.- Encouragement is a crucial aspect of the Christian faith and should be practiced by believers.- Encouragement means walking alongside someone to build them up, not flattery or false praise.- Encouragement is doing the work of the Holy Spirit, while discouragement is doing the work of Satan.- Practical ways to encourage others include celebrating small steps of growth, noticing when things go right, and seeing the potential in others that they may not see in themselves.
