As Dr. Walter Gibson began his message this week (entitled “Waiting with Confidence”), he asked two introductory questions: “How does it make you feel when someone goes out of his/her way to ask how you are doing?” and “How does it make you feel when no one asks how you are doing or what is going on in your life?”
He drew a message from the text which exhorts believers to encourage each other. As believers, we are called to both encourage others and to be encouraged by others. Dr. Gibson called us to encourage others around us, and to do so daily.
