Who we walk with shapes who we become. In this Oak Hill College Chapel message, Chris Howles (Director of Cross Cultural Training) leads us through Acts 4, 9, and 11 to examine the cumulative portrait of Barnabas. Far from a simple "be like Barnabas" moralism, this talk explores how the costly, disrupting, and transforming grace of God frees us to release our possessions, advocate for unexpected believers, and rejoice in God’s work across different cultures.
- Passages: Acts 4:32–37, Acts 9:26–27, Acts 11:19–24
- Speaker: Chris Howles, Director of Cross Cultural Training at Oak Hill College
- Location: Oak Hill College Chapel, London
