The Church: No Plan B (35) Malcolm Duncan teaching from Acts 11:19-26a on "The Priority of Discipleship". Outline: As persecution propelled the message into new areas, some unnamed evangelists began to intentionally reach out to those of Greek language and culture. The church in Jerusalem sent Barnabas to see and support all that was going on in this multi-cultural church. Barnabas was used by God to encourage the believers, and also to lead others to Christ.
