Sermon

Give & Take: The Power of Encouragement, Part 3

May 27, 2012 Mike MinterSermonsLuke, Mark

To the degree that encouraging words are invigorating, to the same degree discouraging words are paralyzing. There is no lack of discouragement in our lives – how do we as individuals encourage our own souls? Courage is not a lack of fear, but a willingness to face fear in life in the power that God provides.

Give & Take: The Power of Encouragement, Part 3

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. Read and discuss Mark 6:30-32. What do these verses tell you about man? About Christ?
  2. What do you learn about taking rest from these verses? What does rest have to do with encouragement? Do you find it difficult to take rest?
  3. In the area of encouragement/discouragement, what tends to make "withdraws" in your daily life?
  4. What is your "sweet spot" in the kingdom of God? How are you leveraging your talent/treasure/time for the glory of Christ?
  5. Read and discuss Luke 10:17-20. Why does Jesus tell them to "rejoice that your names are written in heaven"? Do you rejoice in this in a way that affects your daily life?
  6. What are some scripture verses that you can preach to yourself as personal encouragement?
