In Toronto we have been covering the book of Acts on the Lord's day. The speaking on Barnabas, I cannot see it on the website http://churchintoronto.org/Video.htm (hopefully there soon, we are having technical difficulties), and probably spoken by brother Nigel was very refreshing.

In a nutshell, Barnabas had a different portion than Paul. He looked after Mark during Mark's probable hard time following the dispute with Paul. Much later Mark went on to write the gospel of Mark. If Barnabas had not taken care of the young Mark when he did, we might not have the second gospel as we know it.

It was a refreshing angle after hearing for so long that Barnabas was written out of the NT because he did not go along with Paul, who was the so called single flow that was carrying God's move at that time.
