Lesson 4: Encouraging One Another

This lesson picks up a thread that has been running under the surface of the other three. Christians need each other to keep going. Not only in extraordinary moments, but in the ordinary weeks when faith feels routine and the world feels heavier than it used to. The writer of Hebrews puts the danger succinctly: hearts harden. And he prescribes a remedy just as plain. Exhort one another every day, as long as it is called "today."

That is what this lesson is about. Encouragement is not a decoration on the Christian life. It is a defense.
