From the Pulpit...

This message addresses the apostle Paul's desire to revisit the churches that he had planted in his first missionary tour. Then, we discussed the unfortunate incident of the dispute between Paul and Barnabas about John Mark.

In the bigger picture, we must keep in mind the focal effort of our churches. While we combat false teaching, we also need to keep pushing out into the regions of darkness beyond to start churches and encourage and strengthen disciples. This is the normal operation of the church since the first century and it must continue until the Lord returns.
