The Need to Encourage Established Churches
• Barnabas was sent by the Jerusalem church to Antioch (Acts 11:19-23; 13:1-3)
• Some of Paul’s travels involved visiting churches that had already been planted (Acts 15:36, 40-41; 16:4-5)

Bible principles that came into focus on my visit:
• There should be mutual affection and a spirit of brotherhood among churches. It is encouraging!– Romans 16:16; 1 Corinthians 16:19; Philippians 4:21;
1 Thessalonians 4:9-10; 1 Peter 2:17
• There should be a concern for the welfare of all the churches (2 Corinthians 11:28)
• There should be a desire to imitate good things being done in other churches, and to be a good example for other churches – 1 Thessalonians 2:14; 2 Corinthians 8:1-5
• Let us pray fervently for “all the saints” Ephesians 3:14-19
