  1. Life Lesson # 1: • We all need encouragement from time to time

  2. Life Lesson # 2: • We all need to be encouragers

  3. Philippians 1:3-6 (NIV) • 3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy

  4. 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

  5. Ephesians 2:10 (NIV) • For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do

  6. Movie

  7. Ephesians 2:10 (NIV) • For we are God’s handiwork,

  8. John 13:1-11 (NIV) • 13 It was just before the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father.

  9. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

  10. 2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.

  11. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.

  12. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

  13. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” • 7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”

  14. 8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” • Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” • 9 “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”

  15. 10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you.” 11 For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean.

  16. Romans 8: 31-39 (MSG) • So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose?

  17. If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us?

  18. And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger?

  19. The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us.

  20. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way!

  21. Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

  22. They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. • We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. • None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us.

  23. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low,

  24. thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

  25. Life Lesson # 4: • God is your biggest fan

  26. Life Lesson # 5: • Live for God
