    The Twelve Apostles: Jesus’ Crew Of Ordinary Dudes (Matthew 10:1-4)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 18, 2025
     | 237 views

    Matthew 10 begins with the names of the twelve ordinary men whom Jesus chose to be His disciples. We start with Simon Peter.

    In this chapter, we are introduced to the twelve men who will carry out the message of Jesus to the nation of Israel and inevitably to the world. None of them were scholars or religious officials. They were twelve ordinary men, some of whom were fishermen by trade and probably knew each other ...read more

    In the previous sermon in this series, we dealt with the exciting story of God healing the lame man.

    We saw that when the Lord healed him, he went into the temple, "And all the people saw him walking and praising God: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful. Gate of the temple... " Anyone who knew this man, knew this was a miracle, because they knew he had been ...read more

    A young man saw a sign in a restaurant window that read, “Help wanted." He needed a job, so he went inside to apply for the job.

    He needed a job, so he went inside to apply for the job. He asked the owner about the job description, and what it paid. • The man said, "The job pays $25.00 a week plus all meals." • The young man said, "Is the food good here?" • The owner rubbed his big tummy, and said, ...read more

    A look at the 12th Apostle, an enigma and archtype even 2,000 years later.

    THE 12 APOSTLES: JUDAS ISCARIOT INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Years ago in Ireland, there was a priest who was very anti-British. Every Sunday he would blast them from the pulpit. He became so notorious that the Pope himself summoned the priest to Rome for an audience. 2. The Pope, "I want peace ...read more

    Have you ever wondered why God promised to reward us for the good deeds we do in this life?

    The first thought that occurs is that He loves us, and wants to reward our good deeds as a father would reward his child for a good report card. Romans 8:17b says, “...and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together." This is one ...read more

    Many in America today, seem to be confused as to why, when we incarcerate law breakers, and send them through a rehabilitation program, they go back to doing the same crimes again, after they are released.

    Well, the problem is that we are trying to fix the wrong thing. Illus: If you had trouble with the carburetor on your car, and you took it to be fixed, and the mechanic worked on the transmission, you would find, when you drove the car from the garage, that you still had the same trouble as ...read more

    John was one of the first to be called to be a disciple.

    A. JOHN BEGAN WELL 1. The apostle John was one of the first called. “Two disciples followed Jesus … Andrew first ... found his brother … brought him to Jesus … John also found his brother ... we have found the Messiah … the Christ” (John 1:38-41, ELT). 2.

    When God miraculously opened the door for the gentiles to be saved, it was an exciting time for His church.

    God selected Paul and Barnabas to carry out His first missionary assignment. They were not self-appointed, nor were they appointed by men. As they were serving the Lord, the Holy Ghost called them out, saying, “Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work...” They were APPOINTED BY GOD, SENT BY ...read more

    Today we want to start a series of sermons on the book of Acts.

    The church that wants to please the Lord needs to look frequently into the pages of this marvelous, exciting book! The Lord promised that the “Gates of hell” should not prevail against His church, and the Book of Acts reveals that to be true. Illus: J. B. Phillips says this about those ...read more

    It is so easy to characterise ourselves and others on the basis of past actions or occasions when sin has prevailed. The way Jesus deals with Thomas reminds us that we should not be judged on the basis of our reputation, but on the basis of Christ’s grac

    Message John 20:24-29 “Thomas … vilified by reputation” We like to put people into a box don’t we? To be able to look at someone and feel that we have a measure of who they are.

    In English class, we've been given five questions to answer in every circumstance. How does answering those questions help us understand the marching orders we've been given in the Great Commission?

    In 1944, Lt. Hiroo Onoda of the Japanese military was commissioned to guerilla warfare with squad of 4 in a remote island of the Phillippines. From the end of WWII, various leaflets and propaganda pieces were dropped onto the island to notify Onoda that the war was over, but he was sure it was a ...read more

    The apostle Thomas gets the short end of the stick when we read about him and his "doubts" in the Gospel of John. He is more like you and I than we want to admit, and his story affirms it.

    When we read of where Jesus chose the Twelve men who would be known as the Apostles, we need to step back for a moment and realize that these men were ordinary working -class, salt-of-the-earth, rough around the edge individuals who had jobs ranging from catching fish to collecting taxes to a ...read more

    Today we enjoy the freedom we have in America, and think very little about the men and women who bought and paid for it!

    Illus: It is easy for me to understand why some of the old soldiers who faced death itself, some even lost legs, eyes, arms, etc., become angry when they see people who have done nothing to win, or keep, their freedom, wanting to burn the symbol of that freedom, the flag. Well, that is not the ...read more

    In chapter 19 we read where Paul's ministry reached its climax in Ephesus.

    God worked in a marvelous way! New converts actually forsook their former practice of black magic, and in a public burning, they destroyed over $10,000.00 worth of occult scrolls and magic charms, thus openly proclaiming their faith in the Lord Jesus.

    The Bible records many oral reports that were given.

    For example, if you remember in the Old Testament, Moses sent out the ten spies to scout out the land and they came back and gave their report. Some of them gave a very negative report. They said that they should not attempt to invade the land because there were giants in the land, and they would ...read more
