Today was a great day, church was awesome. I had the opportunity to preach at our 8 am service and I feel that the lord was in the house and somebody was helped. Here are some notes from my sermon.

In this sermon I took a look at the life of Barnabas this lesson is design to examine the ministry of Barnabas who was nicked named encourager to discover practicable ways to be encouraging to others. this can found in acts chapter 4,5,11

TIITLE: simple ways to encourage others

OUTLINE: 5 simple ways to encourage others
1. YOU CAN ENCOURAGE OTHERS THRU STEWARDSHIP
2. YOU CAN ENCOURAGE OTHERS THRU SPONSORSHIP
3. YOU CAN ENCOURAGE OTHERS THRU FELLOWSHIP
4. YOU CAN ENCOURAGE OTHERS THRU LEADERSHIP
5. YOU CAN ENCOURAGE OTHERS THRU DISCIPLESHIP
CONCLUSION: BE A CHEERLEADER
“YOU HAVE ALOT OF RESOURCES AT YOUR DISPOSAL THAT YOU CAN USE TO MAKE LIKE BETTER FOR OTHER PEOPLE. Heres what happens in church a lot we tend to restrict the subject of stewardship to just money and stewardship is much more than money stewardship is our time, talent, treasures, and our thoughts”

 “YOU HAVE  TO BE CAREFUL OF PEOPLE WHO AROUND FOLKS AND GOD IS BLESSING THEM AND YOUR NOT EXCITED BECAUSE HE BLESSING THEM, ITS HARD TO BE GLAD FOR OTHERS WHEN YOU ARE JEALOUS”

“ANYBODY WHO CANT GET EXCITED WHEN GOD IS DOING SOMETHING FOR YOU THEN THEY DONT NEED TO BE CLOSE TO YOU, ANYBODY WHO CANT REJOICE WHEN GOD IS MOVING IN YOU LIFE THEY DONT NEED TO BE CLOSE TO YOU”

“IF GOD IS BLESSING YOUR NEIGHBOR THAT MEANS HE IS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD”

“ITS HARD TO EXERCISE LEADERSHIP AND GO GET SOMEONE TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR HARVEST WHEN YOU WANT ALL THE GLORY YOURSELF, SOME OF US WANT ALL THE CREDIT, ALL THE GLORY, ALL THE PRAISE, ALL THE PROPS AND WE TRY TO HANDLE IT BY OURSELVES”

I pray this helps somebody
