Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons. These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter), James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges , which means “sons of thunder”), Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

And some of the most beautiful relationships in the Bible are ones in which God drew unlikely people together in unexpected ways. Where do you find people who will be like family to you? Explore how God can help you find family — or be family for someone in need!
Jesus called twelve ordinary men to follow Him closely so He could impart Himself to them. Jesus walked them through a process of development and maturing so that when He left, they could repeat this process with others. This practice of making disciples brings us together today. We’re Jesus’ disciples because twelve brave men spent time with Jesus 2,000 years ago and were sent to make disciples themselves.
