A Study On Barnabas - Part 3

The sermon encourages the congregation to rejoice in God's past faithfulness rather than mourn the closing of their current building, urging them to extend grace to those at their new location. It then transitions into a study of Barnabas, highlighting his role as an encourager and mentor to Paul during their time in Antioch. The preacher emphasizes that divine calling requires first faithful obedience to God's revealed will through local church service and fasting. Key theological points include the diversity of the early church, the proper process of ordination by the body of believers, and the reality of opposition alongside conversion in missionary work. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to actively serve so they may discern and respond to God's specific calling on their lives.
