°Church Theme: Building up one another
Established Church: it's very easy for the established church to forget the initial purpose of establishing the church
So, we have to stir each other up by encouraging each other (v28-29)
-Do not give up on meeting each other(it means more than meeting during Sunday Service - NOT meeting and catching up each other, in which having time to catch up each other after Sunday Service is a BONUS)
So when? - Cell groups, Youth Fellowship, Hangout, etc
BUT Why? - It fulfills the purpose part of the Church Ministry by encouraging each other in a smaller group
Praising - Psalms 100:2 - Gladness & Joyful [Keyword Attitude]
Giving - 2 Cor 9:7 - cheerfully [keyword Attitude]
Grief & Lost - 1 Thes 4:13 - Do Not Grief like men, coz they have no hope. But Sorrowful yet always Rejoicing - Joy of the Lord [not depends on circumstance, but depends on your faith, walk with Him] [keyword Attitude]
Conclusion: Encourage one another with love and good deeds,
We are human, we need to be encourage, we are people who at times fearful, easily discouraged, faithless if you are true to ourselves
Good example of stories in Old Testament :P Prophet Elijah
1 King 17:12-16
Lesson: The more we give, God give us even more [time, money, blessings, etc]
