WHAT’CHA GOING TO DO BROTHER?

1 Kings 19

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. BE AN EXAMPLE [1 Timothy 4:12] Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

 

1. Be an Example in Word and Lifestyle

 

2. Be an Example in Love and Attitude

 

3. Be an Example in Faith and Purity

 

II. BE AN EVANGELIST [2 Timothy 4:5] do the work of an evangelist

 

1. Speak [Acts 5:20] Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

 

2. Send [Acts 13:1-4] Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

3. Support [Philippians 4:14-16, 3 John 5-8]

-Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.

- Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.

 

III. BE AN ENCOURAGER

1. Encourage Yourself in the Lord [1 Samuel 30:6]

And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.

 

2. Encourage Yourselves in the Battle [Judges 20: 22, Hebrews 10:24-25]

-And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.

- And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

 

3. Encourage Others by Your Lifestyle [Acts 4: 36-37]

And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
