Barnabas Group Project
But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. (Jas 1:22)
It requires a lot more effort, planning, and time to do something rather than just read or talk about it. It is important to read, study, and discuss the truth. But it is also important to practice love. So many Christians evaluate their maturity and spirituality on how many “Bible studies” they have completed instead of how many people they have actually served and blessed. Those Christians “are only fooling [them]selves” that they are living Authentic Christianity.
We want the Christian Essentials to not only help you learn real Christianity, but to do real Christianity. An important part of that is your Barnabas Group Project.
Your Barnabas Group should start now to discuss and decide what your Barnabas Group Project will be, and when you will complete it. One of the 8 weeks of the FOUNDATIONS study is to be dedicated to this. During that week you will not have reading assignments or a Barnabas Group meeting. While the Table of Contents lists the Barnabas Group Project as a week 8 assignment, you can complete your project at any time within this 8 week study.
Here are some suggestions:
- Devote at least one Saturday to this project.
- Talk to one another about a personal project in one of your homes that you can help one another with.
- Think about a friend in the church that you could team up together to help in some way.
- Ask a Pastor in your church if they know of someone who needs help with something.
- Think of a non-Christian friend to serve in some way.
When you have decided what your Barnabas Group Project will be and have scheduled it, record this in the Table of Contents under week 8. Then check it off when the Project is completed. Happy serving
