We see that that church is commissioning out Barnabas and Saul, which would be hard for a church because these were some of its best people. I know at conference we talked about something like this and when we do something like a church plant we are called to send out best people but they aren't the ones that usually go because people don't want to let go of them of fear of what they maybe losing. We see a great example set up here though! We see some of Paul's missionary journey and some signs from God. We see that John Mark left him and from reading notes there is no real reason to why that we know of. But even thought he left them and went back Paul and Barnabas (mostly) still accept him. Sometimes it takes something or stepping away or back to learn it and time to mature on your own. This isn't always a bad thing as long as you don't lose sight of things!
Sometimes we get to focused on the past and past issue to really take a second and value the current time and things that are going on. They shared the past and history with them but wanted to make sure they were focused on the here and now and that the Good News was being brought to them. As always when people do good things and all people get jealous. We see that they talked a lot and many people listened was doing good things and well people got jealous. Sounds a lot like stuff we go through and when this happens people slander and try to make fun of you so you aren't as popular or take you away in what is RIGHT! Even though they were ran out people still followed them. We need to remember this that even when rejected and all for doing the right thing people will still follow us and we set an example!!!!!
