Now for the first episode: A follow up to Brian's "Encourage One Another" sermon.

What does it look like to be a community encouraging one another? What are the barriers we must fight?

How do we serve others well? How does Jesus transform our identity and call us into a life of service?

What does scripture teach us about the Fear of the Lord? What does growing in childlikeness have to do with this? As we emphasize obedience to Him, we want to listen to his voice, too.

How does Ecclesiastes teach us to value life by respecting death? Do we value delight because of death?

How does companionship lead to a fulfilling life? Why do envy, passivity, and busyness lead to emptiness? How is Jesus our true Companion?

Why do we experience so much suffering here? Why doesn’t God stop it? Where do we go from here?
