Hey everyone I’m Gary Hoban and welcome to Refinery Life Church.
Today we are continuing our new series titled “The Joy of Being a Giver.”
The fun of receiving is so great that many people never really experience the joy of being givers.
Jesus taught that we are to be givers if we are to find the true joy of living.
Today we are talking about The Gift Of Encouragement.
God is the great giver.
Every good gift and every perfect gift comes through Him.
God so loved a needy and sinful world that He gave His Son, Jesus Christ, for us.
Jesus came into the world as the servant of God and as the giver of the gifts of God.
Jesus taught His disciples to be unselfish servants who would define their purpose for being in terms of giving.
To His apostles He said in Matthew 10:8, Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
You do not need silver and gold to be this kind of giver.
God has given many rich gifts to His church for the good of the body.
Significantly, when Paul gave us a list of the gifts of God, encouragement was among them.
