Barnabas is remembered in Scripture not for commanding crowds or writing epistles — but for something just as powerful: a life of Spirit-filled encouragement. In this message, we look at how God used Barnabas to strengthen believers, restore the broken, and help others grow into who God called them to be.
From Acts 4:32–37 and key passages throughout the New Testament, we discover how encouragement is not a small gift — it is a vital ministry in the life of the church.
In this sermon, we learn:
• The character of Barnabas — an encouraging spirit
• The compassion of Barnabas — a servant who meets needs
• The commitment of Barnabas — a disciple-maker
• The heart of restoration — lifting up those who have fallen
This message challenges each of us to live out the same spirit of grace, generosity, patience, and encouragement in our church, homes, and relationships.
