Paul the Encourager

The past year has been tough. It’s quite understandable that many of us are in need of some form of encouragement just to get through the day. This week, we see Paul, the ultimate encourager, in the middle of his own literal storm, still managing to encourage and spur on those around him. It is easy to be discouraged, but with the power of the Holy Spirit, we too the ability to be godly encouragers in our own right. There are others around us every day who are in the midst of their own storms right now, and the way that we lift up and encourage them is a way to make our faith visible and known to others. What is the difference between being encouraging and being an encourager? How can we follow Paul’s example? What are some ways that we can encourage one another? The example we set for others can be a great encouragement to others! Watch as we learn not only how to be encouraged ourselves, but how to be an encouragement to others, while we reflect on the past 52 weeks affected by COVID-19.
