Listen "Matthew 10:1-23 - Call and Commission - 1, Part 1"

Episode Synopsis

I  Jesus Called the Disciples
Called = Proskaleomai = “To call toward oneself; to summon or invite”
Apostles = Apostolos = “An ambassador or messenger of the Gospel”
There is so much we could say about these twelve men, but for now, we will simply say that they were not particularly "remarkable" men - not by this world's standards, anyway.  But Jesus called them to Himself; and because He did, they went on to change the world!

Simon Peter and Andrew
James and John, the sons of Zebedee
Philip and Bartholomew
Thomas and Matthew
James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddeus
Simon the Canaanite and Judas Iscariot

Observation: Matthew listed these men in pairs, perhaps reflecting that he sent the disciples on this initial mission, two by two.
Principle:  Never do ministry alone!!

Encouragement
Accountability
Strength, protection and synergy

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12  “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor … and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
