Sons and Daughters of Barnabas

TEXT: Several from ACTS

FOCUS: We learn to be an encourager by receiving encouragement. Barnabas is a great teacher.

1. We are encouraged by RECEIVING A GIFT

(ACTS 4:34—36) He sold property and gave the proceeds to the early church.

2. We are encouraged by RECEIVING WORDS OF AFFIRMATION

(ACTS 9:26-28) Saul was introduced to the leaders of the Jerusalem Church .

3. We are encouraged by SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN US

(ACTS 13:1—4) Paul gave up on John Mark but not Barnabas!

You can be the wind beneath someone’s wings!
