Saints & Sinners | Barnabas: Son of Encouragement

Speaker: Vince Medrano

Barnabas, a Levite from Cyprus, is described as the "Son of Encouragement" by the apostles. His role in the early church is pivotal, particularly in advocating for Pul's acceptance despite Paul's past as a persecutor. Barnabas' example of generosity and forgiveness contrasts with the deception of Ananias and Sapphire; this character of generosity plays a major role in the formation of the Church's care for one another.
