Series: Living The Character Of Christ 

Today’s Message: Barnabas—Displaying the Encouragement of Christ 

Acts 4:32-37, 9:26-27, 11:19-26, 13:1-3, 15:37-40 

 

All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had. The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing was upon them all. ….For instance, there was Joseph, the one the apostles nicknamed Barnabas (which means “Son of Encouragement”). He was from the tribe of Levi and came from the island of Cyprus. He sold a field he owned and brought the money to the apostles. ...Chapter 4 

When he {Barnabas} arrived and saw this evidence of God’s blessing, he was filled with joy, and he encouraged the believers to stay true to the Lord. Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and strong in faith. And many people were brought to the Lord. …..Chapter 11
