Lesson 4: BarnabasActs 9:32-37Barnabas had a reputation for being very encouraging, thus his nickname of Barnabas (Son of Encouragement).Barnabas was very generous. He sold his own land and gave the proceeds to the apostles to help others.We can also encourage others by helping the needy.Acts 9:26-29Barnabas was willing to vouch for Paul when others were afraid of him.We have to be ready to vouch for others when we see they have turned back to God.Acts 11:19-26Barnabas was sent to Antioch to encourage the church there. He was willing to accept the fact that the gospel was for all and helped spread it even further.Barnabas was a good man and was full of the Holy Spirit and of faith.We should also be encouragers and be full of faith.Acts 13-15
