5 Questions To Explore Partnership
Partnerships are all around - marriages, families, coworkers, friendships, etc. As you continue to explore what it means to go with people in Jesus' direction, how are your partnerships being formed and forged?
Hardship is everywhere. No one's a fan of challenge, but enduring hardship is often the very thing that shapes you. And enduring hardship with people shapes people together.
Acts 9 introduces an emerging partnership between Paul and Barnabas - two influential people who were formed and forged by partnering together in the Gospel. Barnabas was ready to endure hardship with Paul before anyone else.
Wherever they went, Paul and Barnabas experienced both encouraging and challenging moments. But no matter what, Paul and Barnabas continued to pursue the Good News of Jesus together.

Who is facing hardship that you could extend partnership to?
What have you or are you learning about partnering through hardship?
Who could help you discern the current season of partnership?
What is God stirring in you and your partners?
