Message in Brief

In this message, Pastor Ratna Maitra explores the character of Barnabas, who was called the 'Son of Encouragement.' Barnabas came from a wealthy family and owned land in Cyprus, yet when he received the gospel, he sacrificed his possessions and devoted his life to serving God and supporting the early church. She highlights how Barnabas stood by Paul when others feared him, encouraged the believers, and assisted the church in Antioch. Believers are exhorted not merely to read biblical character studies, but to practice encouragement, comfort one another, uplift the weak, and serve the Lord with a sincere and humble heart.

Key Truths

  • Barnabas exemplified unselfishness by giving up his material wealth to serve the Lord.
  • He brought comfort and standing to Paul when the disciples were hesitant to receive him.
  • Believers are called to encourage, build up, and strengthen one another in the local church.
