BECOMING A STRETCHER BEARER – Part I – PICKING UP THE STRETCHER

BECOMING A STRETCHER BEARER

Picking up the stretcher

February 13th

Pastor Mike

People who hurt are people on stretchers. To hurt is bad enough, but to hurt alone destroys people physically, mentally, and spiritually.

The church of today desperately needs people who are willing to reach out and minister to their hurting friends. The knowledge of this truth has led me to begin and develop the practical ministry of “Stretcher Bearing”, the Ministry of Encouragement and Support.

This morning, we will become familiar with the concept of “Stretcher Bearing” and gain an understanding into the Biblical foundation of Encouragement and Support. We will also discover how to develop relationships of Encouragement!

The key scripture is Mark 2:1-12.
