19 Now those who had been scattered as a result of the persecution that started because of Stephen made their way as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except Jews.
20 But there were some of them, men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who came to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks also, proclaiming the good news about the Lord Jesus.
21 The Lord’s hand was with them, and a large number who believed turned to the Lord.
22 News about them reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to travel as far as Antioch.
23 When he arrived and saw the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged all of them to remain true to the Lord with devoted hearts, 24 for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith.
And large numbers of people were added to the Lord.
25 Then he went to Tarsus to search for Saul, 26 and when he found him he brought him to Antioch.
For a whole year they met with the church and taught large numbers.
The disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.

I decided to share this due to recent events i witnessed this year and even this past week
My style might be a bit different than normal
Life is hard.
Then you die.
Then they throw dirt in your face.
Then the worms eat you.
Be grateful it happens in that order.

Today I want to speak to you about Encouragement.
A name will pop in your head - write it down
I want to talk to you about a man that had a gift, and it was the gift of encouragement.
He just had a way—this greathearted soul, this wonderful man.
He had a way of encouraging people everywhere that he went.
And, I so want to be like Barnabas.
You know, there are some people who are encouragers, and there are some people who are discouragers.
You ever meet a discourager?
They're like a drink of water to a drowning man.
They can brighten up a room by leaving.
A lot of people like that.
I mean they just discourage you in everything that you do, and they themselves are the people who somehow leave you drained and depressed.

How Should We Encourage Others In The Lord?
You might have heard the story of the married couple asleep in bed on a stormy night who were awakened by a loud knock on the front door.
The man crawled out of bed and grumpily went downstairs.
When he opened the front door he found a man dripping wet and obviously very drunk who said to him; "I can’t get my car started.
Can you give me a push?"
To which the man of the house replied sharply; "NO! Go and sober up and we will sort it out in the morning!"
He slammed the door and stormed upstairs.
When he got back into bed and explained what had happened to his wife she was indignant and said to him; "That wasn’t a very kind Christian response.
He could be in trouble and you have just sent him out into the storm for the rest of the night!"
Reluctantly the man got out of bed a second time and put on his coat and went downstairs.
He figured he wasn’t going to get any peace until he did something for the man out in the rain.
When he got to the front door the rain was teaming down and he couldn’t see the other man.
He could hear a faint noise out in the front yard so he called out;
"Hello?
Are you still there?
What can I do to help?"
To which the other man replied; "Could you give me a push?"
"I’d be happy to if I could see you, where are you?"
"I’m over here, on your swing!"
That act of drawing alongside or lending energy to get another going is the basic idea behind a key word in the New Testament.
The word is "encourage".
· Don’t have to be sad or a death
The command for Christians to encourage one another is found throughout the bible.
In fact, encouragement can drastically change a person’s life!
We all tend to get distressed from time to time and need encouragement.
We may get discouraged about our marriage for instance, or maybe we are feeling down about ourselves for some reason.
Maybe someone you know is lonely, depressed or bedridden.
Encouraging others is being a friend.

Barnabas encouraged the DEPRIVED
This scripture speaks about the early church and how they related to each other.
They were under intense persecution and they banded together as a body
No one had need because everyone was looking out for 1 another.
People were selling their belongings and giving the money to their bros and sis
Notice in verse 36 There was Joseph who was refere=red to as Barnabas and Barnabas meant Encouragment
He was a great encourager
If people were to summarize your life in 1 word - what would that Word be?
for Barnabas it was encouragement
He didnt just encourage with his mouth but even with his actions
Noticed what he did.
He sold a field and gave the money to the apostles
Normally with us today - if we sell a field, we use the miney and we buy a bigger field
