Barnabas

12:25 Barnabas, Saul, and John Mark returned to Jerusalem. The Church Commissioned Paul and Barnabas 12:25-13:3 God’s Providence The Gospel’s inclusivity Panel Title: Seriously, Reaching the Ends of the Earth The Apostles had preached the Gospel to Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaritans. Now, the church, partially through the ministry of Paul, whom Acts provides plenty of evidence, is going to emphatically proclaim the inclusive Gospel to the Gentiles. Beginning with the church’s commission over Paul’s foreign mission to revisiting the churches that he had established, the Gospel was reaching the ends of the Earth. A man, Timothy, who was half Greek, also became a fantastic church figure. Furthermore, the advancement of the Gospel was because of God’s…

Chapter Six BARNABAS When the Church at Antioch of Syria, consisting mostly of Greeks, came to the attention of the elders at Jerusalem, they chose Barnabas to visit the church there and report on the Lord’s work in that area. Barnabas is first introduced in Acts chapter four. At that time, a great need had developed concerning the poor Christians in the Jerusalem church. The other Christians, who had possessions, sold what they could afford and gave the money to the apostles to be…

How honoring would it be if your best friends nicknamed you "son of encouragement,” the same name that refers in the Bible to the ultimate comforter, the Holy Spirit? This happened, and it happened to a man named Barnabas. His first mention in Acts showed his humility by obedience to the Lord and laying himself aside, His introduction of Paul as a new believer shows His reverence and honor of the calling God places on people, and His split from his best friend to follow the call of the Lord even…

whether it is an experience or an achievement, that has special meaning to them. My experience happened in the middle of nowhere in Missouri at a place called Camp Barnabas. Camp Barnabas is a Christian camp for kids with special needs. Each week is designed for different disorders. The week that I served as a missionary was the week for the developmental disorders, autism, and physical disabilities. My camper was a 17 year old girl named Breannah. She had intellectual disorder, which means her…

many not have been in God’s timing or was the Lord’s way of training up a worker for future ministry. It can be easy to judge failure as not being in the Lord’s will when so often failure is the great teacher the Lord is using to shape us into the workers he can use most effectively. Acts chapter 13 states “the Holy Ghost said, separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them” and later in the chapter it states, “John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.” John Mark…

In the final scene of Dark Shadows Barnabas returns to his home just as Angie and an angry mob of people arrive. Angie is there to arrest the family for harbouring a murder. Barnabas makes an offer of himself and Liz to be arrested if there is no harm to come upon his family. As he does this Tim Burton uses a centred close up camera shot of Carolyn closing their house doors building the tension of the audience as if there was going to be a war between the family and Angie, knowing that she…

Saul was out of the picture as recorded chapter 9. There was a plot to kill Saul, as a result, the Jewish brethren took him to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus. From Gal 1–2 we gather that Saul was away for approximately ten years until Barnabas found him. Luke indicates the challenge Barnabas had finding Saul because of the verb he used, “look” (anazēteō) (a na za tay o) means to (seek out, search through, make diligent search) this implied Barnabas had to search intently to find Saul.…

In Acts 15, a conflict arises in the early church. Paul, Barnabas, Peter, and James become involved in the discussion among the other apostles and elders. They had to discern how God wanted them to respond to some who said that the Gentiles should be required to fulfill the Law of Moses. They discerned scriptures, examined the evidence, and looked at God’s examples in the past, eventually coming to the conclusion that Gentiles are not required to fulfill the Law. There are many principles in…
