‘The Generous Way: A life worth living’

An exploration of Barnabas’s legacy of sacrificial encouragement and church advocacy. Does true generosity require the willingness to risk our reputation for others?

These questions are a starting point to help spark discussion that digs deeper into today’s topic – feel free to adapt or add additional questions of your own.

1. Who has been a “Barnabas” in your life, and how did their encouragement shape you?

2. What stands out to you most about Barnabas’s character, and why do those qualities matter in a church community?

3. Barnabas saw potential where others saw problems. Why is that perspective often difficult, and how can we grow in this area?

4. In the Old Testament, we read about Esther risking her position and reputation to advocate for others. What can we learn from her willingness to step forward when remaining silent would have been safer?

5.Who could benefit from your encouragement or advocacy this week, and what might that look?
