Acts 15:36-41

36: The Condition of Christians
Paul wants to go with Barnabas back to visit their previous churches, and see how the Christians are doing. Paul has a vision.

37: The Convictions of Christians
Barnabas determines to take John Mark along to visit; this is Barnabas’ conviction.
He did not confer with Paul. John Mark needed Barnabas’ love and God’s open door to serve Him.

38 - The Contradiction of Christians
Paul did not want to take John Mark, because he deserted them before.

39 - The Contention of Christians
Barnabas and John Mark separated themselves from Paul and Silas and went to Cyprus.
Jesus Christ had contention too when He was on the earth.

40 - The Choices of Christians
Paul and Silas separate from the others also, and head northwest.

41 - The Confirmation of Christians
Paul and Silas confirmed the churches and Christians in them, that the Gospel was still going out and believers were growing.
