Build Up One Another
In this week’s message, we dive into the transformative power of encouragement with a focus on 1 Thessalonians 5:11. We explore how vital it is to “in-courage” one another, which means to literally put courage into someone. By building each other up, we unlock the hidden potential within ourselves and those around us, fostering a community of strength and resilience. Our discussion will highlight the story of the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz, illustrating how genuine support and affirmation can turn fear into bravery. Don’t miss this inspiring message on the importance of uplifting one another and the profound impact it can have on our lives.
