The sermon this week will be based on Acts 9:23-31. I hope you get a chance to read this passage sometime this week!

As a follower of Christ we have every reason to work hard to encourage the people around us.

Saul, who was a recent convert, needed the backing of Barnabas, who was a respected disciple.  Without Barnabas’ endorsement, Saul might not have been accepted by the other apostles. What an encouragement that must have been for Saul! Who do you know that needs a word of encouragement today?

See you on Sunday!

Songs we’re singing this week:  “I Love the Lord”, “Your Name Is Greatly to be Praised”, “I Stand Amazed in the Presence”, “I Come With Joy”.
