Motivating One Another (Hebrews 10:24)

July 16, 2021 /

Today we conclude the Body Language series. If this is your first time here, we have been going through the one another statements in the Bible. The Bible says things like love one another, serve one another, forgive one another and restore one another. In your bulletin you will find a sermon outline that you can use to help you follow along, but also you will find a summary sheet of the “One Another Statements” we have looked at over the past several weeks.

Today we are focusing our attention on Hebrews 10:24 which says, “Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works” (NLT). There are acts of love that are difficult and time consuming and there are good works that are emotionally draining and inconvenient. You will find yourself getting wearing loving some people, because they are hard to love. They disappoint you, make bad decisions, and it often feels like they are using you. As a result you become tired of loving them and doing good toward them. You may become generally worn out of loving people in general and doing good in general. Continue reading

Honor One Another (Romans 12:10)

July 15, 2021 /

Think about a time you were honored. When someone spoke of your value to the family, how significant you were to the company, or how important you were to the team. Maybe they thanked you for something you did for them.

How did it make you feel? Did it inspire you to do more of the same? Did it make the sacrifice worthwhile? Did it give you confidence? Was it uplifting to you on the inside? That’s what honoring others does. Honoring others motivates, inspires, builds up, and energizes. Honoring others makes those who feel insignificant, feel significant. Those who feel forgotten, remembered. For those who want to quit, to rise up with new determination. Continue reading

If this is your first time here, my name is Jeff. And before we get started with today’s lesson I want to say thank you to everyone who made Pastor Appreciation Month incredible.

We are in a series of lessons looking at the “one another” statements in the Bible. So far we have looked at how to encourage one another, forgive one another, serve one another, love one another, accept one another, and admonish one another. Today we are looking at restoring one another. Continue reading

Admonishing One Another (Romans 15:14)

Serving One Another (1 Peter 4:10)

July 12, 2021 /

We are in a series of lessons called Body Language. We are using the word Body to refer to the church body and the word Language to refer to how to treat and speak to one another. In this series of lessons we are focusing on the “one another” statements in the Bible. So far we have looked at how to encourage one another, love one another, forgive one another, and accept one another.

Today we are going to examine what it means to serve one another. It’s important that you serve others and to let others serve you. God designed you to need others. You need others in your life to help you grow, think, feel, and do what God has called you to do. There are people in your life who you are perfectly designed to bless, encourage, and serve. You bring to their table exactly what they need. On the other hand there are people in your life that are exactly what you need. They bring to your table exactly what you need. Continue reading

Forgiving One Another (Colossians 3:13)

July 9, 2021 /

Today we are going to consider the importance and power of forgiveness. Everyone in this room is either needing to forgive someone or will need to forgive someone or needing forgiveness from someone else. In your life people are going to be unkind, impolite, and rude. Some of you have been mistreated and abused. Some things in your life should not have been said or happened, but they did happen and it was said. Listen carefully, without forgiveness your life will be governed by an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation. For your personal growth and peace you must learn to be a forgiver of people.   Continue reading

Encourage One Another (1 Thessalonians 5:11)

July 1, 2021 /

Today we start a new sermon series called Body Language.

  • The word “body” in body language refers to the church body, those who are followers of Christ.
  • The word “language” in body language refers to what we say and do toward others, how we treat others, how we treat the body of Christ.

Throughout the Bible God gives us wisdom regarding our body language toward others through what are called the “one another” passages where we are told things like “love one another” (John 13:34), “honor one another” (Rom. 12:10), “accept one another” (Rom. 15:7), “serve one another” (Gal. 5:13), and “forgive one another” (Eph. 4:32).
