Introduction 
Let us consider the word ENCOURAGEMENT

A.Paul the Encourager 
  “After the uproar ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and after  encouraging them, he said farewell and departed for Macedonia.  When he had done through those regions and had given them much encouragement, he came to Greece”.
    i. Encouragement is support given during difficult times
    ii. Encouragement is needed at all times
    iii. Encouragement based on the truth of God’s Word
    iv. Encouragement looks beyond oneself to others

B.  Paul the Encouraged 
   “Sopater the Berean… Aristarchus and Secundus.. Gaius and Timothy.. Tychicus and Trophimus… were waiting for us at Troas.”
    i. Paul finds strength in others too.  The willingness to be encouraged. 

C.  The People, mutually encouraged
    i. “They were not a little comforted!”
       - Paul had love for the people and they were there together seeking to mutually encourage one another as a body of Christ.

Conclusion 
“Don’t we all?” “
- Who can you encourage today or this week?  How would you do that?
