The Calling of the Ordinary | The Twelve

The Calling of the Ordinary | The Twelve | Matt Petty | Burnt Hickory
The disciples are not biblical heroes. They didn't have superpowers. They were twelve ordinary men who followed an extraordinary Jesus. This is a comforting thought, since it gives us hope that we don't have to be perfect or super in God's eyes to make an impact in the world. All we have to do is be obedient. Pastor Matt begins the series "The Twelve" and we look through scripture to see what attributes the disciples held, and what Jesus expects from us as Christians carrying His hope to the world.
