Have the Courage to Encourage: 1 Thessalonians 3

Life can often feel like trying to keep your balance on shaky ground—one unexpected trial or piece of bad news can throw everything off. So how do we stand firm in our faith when we feel ourselves starting to wobble? In this message from 1 Thessalonians 3, Pastor Brian Autry explores the vital, active ministry of encouragement. He unpacks Paul's heartfelt concern for the Thessalonian church, showing how true encouragement isn't just offering kind words, but intentionally imparting courage to others in their struggles. It’s a powerful reminder that we are designed to support one another, to be thankful for each other, and to pray earnestly for each other, especially when life gets hard.
