The God of All Encouragement
Adrian Rogers
2 Corinthians 1:10
Do you ever get discouraged? Don't answer that question because I know the answer before you even answer. Of course you do, because you are human. And I want to tell you what to do with discouragement today. Actually I want to talk to you on the subject of encouragement and the god of all encouragement is going to be the title of our message. 2 Corinthians chapter one and I'm going to read the first 10 verses. And in those first 10 verses you will see the word encouragement used 10 times.

Blessed be God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort that is encouragement, who comforts us in all our tribulation that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble by the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted of God.'' Already he's used the word five times. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation (it's the same word here) our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. For whether we be afflicted it is for your consolation and salvation which is It effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer, or whether we be comforted (there's our word again) it is for your consolation and ...
