The Service Gifts that Encourage the Church (7 of 16)
GOD'S GIFTS OF GRACE
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Romans 12.3-8

believe to have this gift? The gift of cheering and
clapping others on through life? The gift of
deepening somebody's determination? The gift of
spurring others on when they need spurring on?
Let's see the hands of our exhorters tonight!
Why don't we exhort our exhorters here tonight! My...
how we need you to use your gift which raises the
question: How are you using your gift to be a blessing
to others in our church family? How are you coming
along side others to strengthen them? Are you writing
notes? Are you sending emails? Are you involved with
a ministry in our church encouraging others? What
about the Men's ...
