Who is Your Person?

This message explores the story of Paul's conversion and early ministry, focusing on the crucial role Barnabas played in Paul's integration into the early church. We learned how God uses key people in our lives to encourage, support, and vouch for us, just as Barnabas did for Paul. The sermon emphasized the importance of both having a "Barnabas" in our lives and being a "Barnabas" to others.

Key Takeaways:

The conversion of the lost involves believers: We are called to actively engage with non-believers and share our faith, not leaving evangelism solely to "professionals."

Integration into the church is usually mediated by another believer: Like Barnabas, we can play a crucial role in helping new believers become part of our church community.

Personal involvement is key: Whether it's taking risks for others, offering encouragement, or helping someone find their place in the church, our individual actions can have a profound impact on others' spiritual journeys.
