* Four metaphors for the church: family, body, temple, & building.
* The image of a building with each stone carefully placed together, sharing the weight, is a great way to see God’s vision of what the church is.
* But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3:13 
* Encouragement was a major necessity in the early church because they were under stress much of the time. 
*  Encourage means we give another person hope, confidence, and courage.   En (into)  courage.  We bring them into courage.  
* Research shows that emotional pain is the same in our brains as physical pain.
* We are encouraged when we know that we are not alone. 
* 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.  Romans 12:15 
* The necessity is that to encourage and to be encouraged we must be present.   To give some of our faith away - -some of our courage – we have to go there, be there and stay there.
