In this Oak Hill College Chapel talk, Chris Howles continues a two-part series exploring the life and ministry of Barnabas across Acts 11, 13, and 15. Barnabas demonstrates what it looks like when gospel grace loosens a leader's grip on possessions, status, and control. From developing Paul’s leadership in Antioch to navigating global church partnerships and handling sharp ministry conflicts, Barnabas shows us that grace received must become grace invested.
