Summary

(Acts 13:1-3) The pastor encourages the church body, but who encourages the pastor? We see in Acts 13 that Barnabas was a blessing to God’s servant.

0:00.0	As we read the gospel records, we read eyewitness accounts of the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus.
0:14.4	In a sense, the gospels are just the beginning of Christ's work. The adventure continues in the
0:20.5	Book of Acts. In this study with
0:22.6	Scott Pauli, we consider the continuing work of Christ through the Holy Spirit, who works through
0:29.2	the apostles in the New Testament Church. Now, let's get in on the adventure.
0:38.3	Who ministers to the minister?
0:41.0	Have you ever wondered about that?
0:42.9	The men that are called of God to preach the truth,

1:34.8	examples of that is found in the life of Barnabas. We were introduced to him. You will remember
1:40.6	in Acts chapter number four for the very first time, this son of consolation, this encourager. We find him remember in Acts chapter number four for the very first time this son of consolation this
1:45.5	encourager we find him first in Acts four encouraging the needy then we find him encouraging the new
1:53.6	believer in Acts chapter number nine then we find him in Acts chapter 11 encouraging the whole church
