1 Thessalonians 5:11, Hebrews 3:13, and Hebrews 10:24-25

In this sermon on "one anothering," Dr. Tom Pace explores the biblical command to encourage one another, drawing from the New Testament's 60 specific commands about Christian relationships. Using the metaphor of running a marathon, he illustrates how encouragement takes multiple forms: building others up, exhorting them to do better, and sometimes provoking them through difficult conversations. The sermon emphasizes that true encouragement isn't just cheerleading but includes accountability, challenge, and speaking truth in love. Christians are called to be a "cloud of witnesses" for one another, coming alongside (the Greek word "parakleo") to support, push, and sometimes irritate others toward spiritual growth and faithfulness.
