Six Steps to Encouragement: Step 1
Last Friday, we started our new study on encouragement. Our time started out with a discussion of what role words had in people becoming Christians. A major theme came out - it took a combination of both words and relationship to change an unbelieving heart.
Of course, behind those words and relationships is the God who gives power to both. God speaks powerfully to create, judge, save, disclose and change. Thus leaving us with the point of the entire study on encouragement - God's Word changes us; through us, it can changes others too.
So, step one of encouragement - trusting in the powerful words spoken by God as the only means by which people are saved and changed.
We took some time to look at Romans 1:16-17. How does that passage convince the person who holds that all-to-typical view that proclaiming the gospel is not necessary but only living properly is? Feel free to leave comments as to your answer.
