7:30 PM BARNABAS AND PAUL 59:00
Barnabas and Paul is a film with a new perspective on the spread of early Christianity.
The Apostle Paul is known as a pillar of the early church, but the key to his success was Barnabas. After his conversion, Saul’s ministry was limited until Barnabas invited him to help with the church in Antioch, changing everything for Saul and the spread of Christianity. Their joint ministry became incredibly powerful as God used their backgrounds to open doors to share the Gospel. But the relationship between the two evangelists didn’t last and they eventually parted ways.
