We should all strive to be encouragers like Barnabas. Listen to Adrian Rogers.

Friend, there are people who fall, and they don't need us going around saying, did you hear about so-and-so?

They don't need us going around reporting. They don't need lectures. Somebody said the church is the only organization, the only army in the world that shoots it's wounded.

No, we need some barnabuses and the

The book of Acts tells the story of a man called Barnabas.

His name translates to Son of Encouragement.

In part one of today's message, we learned that Barnabas demonstrated his gift of

encouragement through his stewardship and his friendship.

He met the needs of others and befriended Paul when he was a lonely new disciple of Jesus.

But Barnabas' legacy didn't stop there.

If you have your Bible, turn to Acts chapter 4,

as Adrian Rogers shares five ways you can encourage others.

encouragement he was an encourager the bible calls him here the son of consolation look at it
