This is an audio 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 wiWild Possibilities (Video)th 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!

Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses and the prophets wrote about in the law: Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”

“Come and see,” Philip answered (John 1:45-46.)

Today we're looking at how God used a star to draw some foreign Magi from the East to come and worship Jesus. We can only wonder what their colleagues suggested about their sanity! Yet it was God keeping his ancient promise to Abraham: "All peoples on earth will be blessed through you."
