Wild Possibilities (Video)

This is an video message by Pastor Rolly Stahl, "Wild Possibilities".  It is the fourth message in our January series "The Call Of The Wild".

Jesus called a bunch of 12 blokes to become his disciples.1 In Sunday’s Bible reading, we discover the first four of them: brothers Peter and Andrew; and brothers James and John. They could also be called “the fab four” – because in all the listings of the 12, they are mentioned first.2

Peter, James and John were present with Jesus when he raised the daughter of Jairus back to life again; at Jesus’ transfiguration; and nearby when Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. These three were Jesus’ “inner circle” – who later became pillars of the early Christian community.

Andrew was also present at significant times,3 but there is much less written about him.  After Jesus’ resurrection, the last mention of Andrew in the Bible is in Acts 1:13 – as one of the 11 remaining apostles.

I wonder: What stories did Andrew have about his experiences with Jesus?

And: What were the wild possibilities of “the fab four” during their time with Jesus – and afterwards?

This Sunday I invite you to come along to explore Andrew’s story with me!
