The following sermon is going to begin by looking at how easy it is for believers to fall into the devil’s trap and encourage others to do evil instead of good.  The remainder of the sermon is going to illustrate that while God is to be our best source of encouragement this does not absolve His children from the duty to encourage others by continually praying for them, supporting, and thanking them for the good work they are doing in God’s kingdom, building each other up in the faith, and by comforting them with the same comfort we have received from Christ!
