B. Both of your families fall short (vs. 1-2)
C. Encourage, encourage, encourage (vs. 1-2)

II. Honor Your Widows!
A. Your family duty matters (vs. 3-4 & 8)
B. Your spiritual duty matters (vs. 5-7)
C. Your pastoral duty matters (vs. 9-16)

Questions for consideration: (1) How is your church like a family? (2) Who in your church can you encourage & how? (3) How should you be ready to care for your mother? (4) What sympathy a care should you give to widows in the church? (5) What can you do to help your pastors do their job well?
