The Son of Encouragement

Published: July 14, 2019, 10 a.m.

On the Road --- Acts 4:32-37 We continue our series on Paul today by also continuing our look at the important people in his life that made his ministry possible. Barnabas emerges as one of the key figures of the formation of the first Church in Antioch and a principal disciple during the spread of Christianity. The power Barnabas had to encourage and grow the work of others was so legendary that his real name Joseph is only mentioned once in Acts. "Barnabas" is a nickname that means "son of encouragement." Who could you identify as a Barnabas in your life? Can you say that you are that person for someone else?
