Bible Text: 1 Thessalonians 2:19-20, 1 Thessalonians 3:1-13, Ephesians 6:21-22, Colossians 4:7-8, Acts 4:6, John 16:33 | Speaker: Eldon Cook | Series: Lessons from Thessalonians | Encouragement was been a vital part of early church ministry. We see Paul sending Timothy out to strengthen and encourage the church; we  discover Tychicus and Barnabas(Joseph) as early church leaders teaching us how to come alongside others to encourage them, show them our gratitude, and offer prayers on their behalf. You will be challenged to purposely seek to encourage others this week and find that you, yourself have been encouraged.
