The Gift Of Encouragement
Adrian Rogers
Acts 4:34
Take God's Word, open it if you will please to the book of Acts chapter four and in a moment we're going to study about a man named Barnabus. And, his name is very important.

A levite and of the country of Cyprus, who that is Barney having land, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles feet.
I want to talk to you today about encouragement. A man that had a gift and it was the gift of encouragement. He just had a way, this great hearted soul. THis wonderful man. He had a way of encouraging people everywhere that he went, and I so want to be like Barnabas. I wish I had a chu ...
