DISCIPLESHIP OPPORTUNITIES: 

"There were twelve disciples Jesus called to help Him, Simon Peter, Andrew, James, his brother John; Philip, Thomas, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon, Thaddaeus, Judas, and Bartholomew." 

What better way to spend the summer than getting to know the Original Twelve???  Depending on what list you read, the names vary slightly (particularly Thaddeus, Nathaneal, and Bartholomew), so that will be one thing we will sort out.  The Big Four are pretty well known:  Peter, Andrew, James and John.  Thomas is remembered for just one thing:  doubting.  Matthew has become dear to those of us who are watching “The Chosen”.  And then, of course, there is Judas.  We’ll dig into each one and learn more about them and what their message might be for us today.  You might be surprised to learn something about yourself in the process.
