Pericope:  Acts 11: 25–30 25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look

for Saul, 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So,

for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and

taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called

Christians first at Antioch. 27 During this time some prophets came

down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 One of them, named

Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe

famine would spread over the entire Roman world. (This

happened during the reign of Claudius.) 29 The disciples, as each

one was able, decided to provide help for the brothers and

sisters living in Judea. 30 This they did, sending their gift to the

elders by Barnabas and Saul.

Life Application:

1. If you’ve got “your people,” thank God for them. If you don’t,

ask God to send them.

2. When He does, be ready to be somebody’s

Barnabas—encouraging, walking with, and sacrificing for

them.

3. Let’s be there for one another right now
