Series: What It Takes For DBC To Go Viral
Jerry Branch
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV)
1 Thessalonians 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
These past weeks we've been looking at what it takes for our church, DBC, to go 'viral' through the sharing of the Good News and the Love of Jesus Christ here in the Back Mountain of Northeast PA.

in other words, we must put other people BEFORE ourselves
that means that we have to take on the servant-mindset
which means that we show a genuine humility rather than trying to 'elevate' ourselves or trying to make someone else look bad or lesser
OK and that now brings us to what I want to talk about today
I want to share with you about showing the Love of Christ as we BUILD UP other people or another way of putting, it by AFFIRMING th ...
