Later, Paul suggests revisiting the churches they had previously planted, but a sharp disagreement arises between Paul and Barnabas over whether to take John Mark with them. Unable to agree, they separate and form two ministry teams: Barnabas takes Mark, while Paul travels with Silas. Unity through the Spirit is perhaps the central theme throughout Acts but it is not always a simplistic unity. Despite their differences, Paul, Barnabas, and John Mark are able to still remain united in purpose as they spread the good news about Jesus. Looking for a previous devo?
