ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE WEEK: LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS
This week, let us focus on cultivating brotherly love. Let us strive to be free from contempt and selfish ambition, and keepers of the Godly plan. May we have the discernment to protect and value our big-hearted servants, ensuring they receive eternal rewards for their hard work, piety, and benevolence. (Exo 18:21)
Fellowship
Our Elders are pillars of great and long-lasting fellowship. The closer we perfect our honor and love, the better our environments are for growth and maturity. The greatest gift we can give to our elders is peace and freedom. Ask some questions about their testimony and vision. Why's and what's the family? (Heb 11:9)
The Promise of Love
Love can be found in John 3:16, 'For God so loved the world that He gave…' There are many random acts of kindness and demonstrations of love. But, what a servant who can say, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.' Even for the youngest and the smallest sin - what an older brother we have in Jesus!
The Promise of Joy
The Promise of Peace
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isa 9:6 - Here is a messianic prophecy, Jesus, is foretold as the Prince of Peace, signifying His role in bringing divine peace to humanity.
Our Coming Hope
The darkness we face, together, is not just external but internal. Our consolation, prepared in love, shows no partiality.
Encouragements (Past)
Always Pray and Give Thanks
God will answer our prayers! On our paths to godliness, He can meet all our needs (John 14:13-14; 1 John 5:16; Matt 6:9-13).
Proverbs: Chapters 4-6
Proverbs Chapters 4-6: Study for this week. What are the contrasts between Wisdom and Folly? How do you hear God speaking to you as a brother or sister, corporately and individually?
Seeking After Respected Forerunners
"One of the earliest testimonies of great men was Abel's. The Bible says that God testified that 'He respected Abel first and then his offering second.' (Gen 4:4) Abel was someone who stood for righteousness and faithfulness, someone who would intercede for others to do the same. We should never despise or forsake our parents or any elder. How did they get their to their eldership? Some through many trials and many victories to learn from their mistakes and successes...
Becoming Great Leaders Instead of Just Good Leaders.
The Book of Daniel is a great source for all young adults to learn how to stand for God, empowered by His Spirit, and to grow in love for not just some, but all people (2 Tim 2:22; 1 Pet 2:17). Daniel and his friends were known for their prayers (John 14:13-14), and in public, God gave them a resilience that made them heroes.
We Stand With All Victims

Love Overcomes All
No one is immune to Cancer, but we stand with love and support, counting every victory as a blessing, even the smallest ones.
The "Certain" Heroes
Heroes are not limited to pulpits and executive business chairs. Heroes are "God-Given" according to each unique sphere of influence. No one can be the hero designed by God like you can! You are a light that, of that Light, that we desire to have fellowship with on everyday!
Belonging, Growing, and Thriving Together
We are a "Sanctuary City," a place that can be called home for all. We are not meant to be without but of fellowship. Where can you find a local church to grow and get rooted in? A place you can thrive and make the light of the city even brighter.
God gave us Mothers
Be that gift every morning to "a" mother. Love and don't look for anything in return. You are of "that gift", in a lifetime, that brings blessings for all to find fellowship in.
Change the World for you over and again...
Fatherhood is not complete without serving the greatest gifts, apart from Christ, that we can have—our children. Changing the world doesn't require the strength of Atlas, but the meaning of 'faithfulness'—being there for them as God is for us. (Joh 17:3)
