Barnabas and Paul Acts 9:26-28; 11:22-26; 15:36-40 The book of Acts is the story of the birth of the Church. In Acts 2, the Holy
Spirit descended on the believers, and from there the gospel began to spread to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth. As the gospel spread, God used different individuals as His ambassadors to present the gospel. This study comes from three different parts of Paul’s and Barnabas’s lives, representing three different phases of their relationship.Many Christians just never grow up, and their relationships with others don’t grow either. This hinders not only the work God wants to do in us but the work he wants to do through us. Growing in our walk with Christ and in our mentoring relationships, though, will bring good to us and glory to God.Barnabas and Paul maintained a respect for one another and what God was doing through them. We should do the same with those we disciple, even when God sends us in several
different directions.
