W hat is R.U.S.H.? Every fall, 2,000 middle and high school students from across the country come to Freed-Hardeman University to experience an unforgettable weekend. At

R.U.S.H., you’ll engage in meaningful worship, participate in memorable classes, and listen to dynamic lessons, all designed to help you grow closer to God and other Christians. Join us this fall as we continue our journey to Reach Unlimited Spiritual Heights.

THE DESERT: SEPTEMBER 16 - 18, 2016

Last year we reached the Summit. This year we’re wandering through the desert.

Every time Jesus is tempted by Satan in the desert, he references lessons learned from the Children of Israel as they wandered through the desert. Lessons learned from Jesus’s re-sponses to Satan will help us not only survive the deserts in our own lives, but learn how to avoid them altogether.

Join us for a weekend of unforgettable classes and keynotes, a concert, The Hypnotist: Jim Wand and much more as we learn to rejoice in the Lord as our oasis and living spring.

Today’s Sermons - August 28th

AM - The Man Who Dreamed, Part 4, Aubrey Johnson

PM - Brian Simon

Dynamic Deacons Seminar Aubrey Johnson

Shepherd’s Corner, Todd Wilson

Hill Toppers’ Breakfast at J. Christoper’s

W hen was the last time you encouraged your preacher? Aubrey Johnson has been our preacher for a long time and has made our church the Encouragement Place. Many times I have thought about telling Aubrey what a great job he does for us but then I get sidetracked and forget. Then I think "he's a really smart guy

so he already knows that". I doubt he's that smart and he needs to be told.

I started working on this article before Aubrey announced his departure so it seems a little ironic that I would think of this now but I think it is extra important that we encourage him now.

What are some good ways to encourage a preacher? Ask him questions, let him use all the bible knowledge he has ac-quired over the years of study. That's what he lives for. Jesus desired that His people needed to be able to approach Him for any and every reason (Matthew 11:28). Since preachers make an effort to make themselves available to you, take them up on their assistance. You’ll – and they’ll – be glad you did.

How do you feel when someone compliments you? Pretty great, right? If you liked a sermon, approach your preacher and let him know. A compliment or any positive comment will go a long, long way in encouraging them in their work, in turn encouraging them to study further and keep going in their efforts to share God’s message (1 Thessalonians 5:11). If you have constructive criticism offer it in love.

Pray for Aubrey and Lisa in their time of transition. Whether they know it or not, they certainly appreciate any support, via prayer, that you can give. We are called to pray for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-4). Not only does this include our nation’s President, military, and even the elders of our churches, but also our preachers. They have a position of lead-ership in the church, and even though it’s not higher than Christ Himself (Ephesians 5:23), we still need to pray for them. Also, because preachers are in a teaching position within their congregations, they have a certain accountability with God because they are preaching His message, and it’s imperative that they must preach it truthfully. We also need to pray that they receive the comfort, support, and encouragement that comes from God and His people.

I want to encourage you to think of your line of work, or anything that you’re extremely passionate about. How would you feel if someone not only took interest in that passion or work, but also encouraged you and prayed for you in your endeavors?
