ENCOURAGE-DON'T LIMIT-EACH OTHER

ENCOURAGE-DON'T LIMIT-
EACH OTHER


“WHERE did this man
Get such wisdom and mighty deeds?
Is he not
The carpenter's son?” Matthew 13;54-55


Jesus was God's SON
He could work miracles
On anyone-anywhere-but there


He was a PROPHET
Without honor
In his hometown of Nazareth


And because the people
KNEW his father and mother
They imposed their limits on him


They had NO FAITH in him
And he could
NOT perform any miracles there


But our job as Christians
IS to give one another HOPE
To ENCOURAGE one another


That is what Jesus
Did for everyone


And that is what we are
To do for other Christians too


“FINALLY-brothers-sisters-REJOICE!


Strive for full restoration
ENCOURAGE one another


BE of one mind
Live in peace


And the God of love
And peace
Will be with you” 2 Corinthians 13:11


And ENCOURAGE
That is what
My mother and father did


For my two sisters and myself


We were TAUGHT TO BELIEVE
That we could do anything
We set our mind too


And we do BELIEVE that
Just like our parents wanted


GIVE people hope
BUILD them up
That is our job-as CHRISTIANS
Don't limit them


“NOW I commit you
To God


And to the word
Of his grace


Which can BUILD YOU UP
And give you an inheritance


Among all those
Who are sanctified” Acts 20:32


IF GOD is for us
If our FAMILY is for us
If our friends are for us


What does it matter
Who or what is against us


MOST OF ALL
IF we believe in God and Jesus
And we believe in ourselves


WE CAN get it done


“Each of us
Should please our neighbors
For their good
TO BUILD THEM UP” Romans 15:2


So BUILD each other up
IN LOVE


DON'T discourage or LIMIT one another
WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER


Finally-
If God
Gives us the freedom
And the HOPE to succeed
Who are we
To limit one another
