Encourage One Another - Pastor John Danganan - Communion Sunday

Sermon Notes: Watch your own
heart for
unbelief. Be intentional
to encourage every day.


Encouragement discourages
sin’s deception.


Encouragement fortifies
endurance.






Hebrews 3:7-14


So, as the Holy Spirit says:


“Today, if you hear his voice,


 do not harden your hearts
as you did in the rebellion,
during the time of testing in the wilderness,
where your ancestors tested and tried me,
though for forty years they saw what I did.
That is why I was angry with that generation;
I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,
and they have not known my ways.’
So I declared on oath in my anger,
‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”


See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful,
unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.  But
encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so
that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. We have
come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original
conviction firmly to the very end.


Join us every first Sunday of the month for communion. The
word "communion" is defined as the act of sharing, or
holding in common; participation. What is communion in a
biblical sense? The word "communion" as translated in the King
James Version is the Greek word "koinonia" and it means a
partnership, participation or social intercourse, fellowship,
communion, communication, distribution, contribution or to
communicate. "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the
communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it
not the communion of the body of Christ" (1 Corinthians 10:16).
