We are grown by our group. The people around us shape the person within us, and the number one predictor of long-term faith isn't the size of your baptism or the power of your testimony—it’s who you choose to run with.  

In this message, Pastor Brad walks through the life of the Apostle Paul and his relationship with Barnabas in the book of Acts. From the early days in Damascus to planting churches across the Mediterranean, Paul’s ministry was sparked by a friend who believed in him, vouched for him, and challenged him to run harder for Christ. Discover why you can't walk out your faith alone, how to find (or become) a "Barnabas," and what it looks like to be a church on mission together in Henderson.
