Jeremy Utley - Resist Discouragement
Summary
The speaker encourages the congregation to overcome discouragement by actively sharing what the Lord teaches them, drawing a parallel to the principle that 'he who waters others will be watering himself.' He emphasizes that holding back spiritual gifts or encouragement causes them to dry up, urging listeners to take a step of faith. Furthermore, he teaches that feeling 'in a funk' is a temptation, and the prescribed response is to resist it and choose to rejoice in the Lord always.

Jeremy Utley · Aug 12, 2020
The speaker cautions against developing a jealous or critical heart when witnessing the ministry or spiritual gifts of others. Drawing parallels from Jesus's hometown reception and the disciples' reaction to miracles, he emphasizes that believers must receive God's word and the works of others' lives as if it came directly from the Lord. Ultimately, the message urges believers to prioritize seeking the approval of God over seeking the notice or praise of men.
