Sons of Encouragement

In light of Jonathan's encouragement we consider the New Testament call for Christians to be sons of encouragement as well.

1. The meaning of encouragement - to exert influence upon someone in order to guide them into a certain course of action
2. The purpose of encouragement - to build up in the faith and to keep from sin
3. Examples of encouragement - Barnabas, Paul and Jonathan
4. The means of encouragement - assembly, words, and especially Biblical truth
