-What "hope" is the author talking about when he mentions the "hope we profess"?
-What kinds of "love and good deeds" can you show to other Christians to encourage them?
-Do you feel like Harrisonburg Baptist Church and this youth group do a good job of encouraging you and others? What could be done differently? What could you do differently?
-Why is it important to "not give up meeting together"?
The word "spur" that the author uses is the same word that we use when we talk about horses. When a horse starts dragging or falling behind, we spur it on, encouraging it to keep going. Think about how you can encourage others when they face tough times or feel hurt.
Pray that God gives you opportunities to love and encourage others. Also pray that you will resist temptation to hurt others or contribute to conflict, but will instead spur others on. Finally, ask God that this youth ministry would be a place of encouragement and joy for you and all others who are a part of it.
