Before Jesus and his apostles leave the upper room, Teaching Pastor John Chipman takes a closer look at the role of these faithful servants in the launching of the Church. The focus is on the amazing “business plan” meticulously orchestrated by God.and how as Christians today, we are the benefactors of the apostles’ faithfulness.
Our Bible text for Today’s Message is from Mark 3:13-19
Jesus Appoints the Twelve
13 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. 14 He appointed twelve[a] that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons. 16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter), 17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means “sons of thunder”), 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
