ThornCreek Church
Life can be hard, confusing, and unfair. Don't give up!
During this message series we will be walking with Jesus from Galilee to Jerusalem. He was misunderstood, hated, loved, deserted, and hung out with a ragged band of misfits. You will discover amazing life principles for your life! You will be encouraged and inspired!
This is a great series for someone who wants to develop a stronger relationship with God. Invite someone and expect a miracle!

"We need to remember that the first disciples were ordinary men called to an extraordinary mission."
- Max Lucado
Revelation 21:14 NLT

"Peter's character is descriptive of a rock-like man, dependable, immovable, equal to the emergencies and crises that confront him."
-Kenneth Wuest
Mark 1:16-20 NLT
"The first ministers were the twelve disciples. There is no evidence that Jesus chose them because they are brighter or nicer than other people. Their sole qualification seems to have been their initial willingness to rise to their feet when Jesus said, "Follow me."
- Frederick Buechner
Mark 2:14 NLT
John 20:24-25 NLT
John 11:16 NLT
“It is amazing that Jesus would select a man like Simon to be an apostle. But he was a man of fierce loyalties, amazing passion, courage, and zeal. The fiery enthusiasm he once had for Israel was now expressed in his devotion to Christ.”
-Twelve Ordinary Men
Mark 14:10 NLT
“Here was a man who drew as close to the Savior as it is humanly possible to be. He enjoyed every privilege Christ affords. He was intimately familiar with everything Jesus taught. Yet he remained in unbelief and went into a hopeless eternity.”
- Twelve Ordinary Men
"You can do more with 12 disciples than with 1,200 religious consumers."
- Alan Hirsch
1) They had a spirit of abandonment.
“We are settling for a Christianity that revolves around catering to ourselves when the central message of Christianity is actually about abandoning ourselves.”
- David Platt
2) They took action.
"Lukewarm people call 'radical' what Jesus expected of all His followers."
- Francis Chan
3) They were willing to die for what they believed.
If you’re not willing to die for what you believe, then it's not worth living for it.
Mark 3:31-35 NLT
