One of the most important withnesses that we can have is a Barnabas, an encourager. Do you agree with this statement? Why/Why not?
Thinking back, name the Barnabases in your life. Write them out on a piece of paper if this helps you. Think about each one and what made them a Barnabas for you. Which one was your greatest encourager? Why?
Who are the current Barnabas Withnesses in your life? As they encourage you, are they helping you move from being self-conscious and self-centered to surrendering yourself and centering your thoughts on others? How so?
Who are you currently a Barnabas to? Who needs you to be their Barnabas? What’s stopping you? When are you most likely to be in Barnabas mode? Least likely? What would it take for the Barnabas mode to occur more often?
How can you encourage your friends who don’t know Jesus to check Him out?
