The Originals, Week 3, Day 2

by David Joynt on January 22, 2018


 

MATTHEW 4:18-19 | JOHN 1:41-42

 

 

Peter and Andrew are not just brothers by biology, but by choice.
When we first meet them, they are in business together as
fishermen. They are both disciples in training and eventually
partners in ministry. Risks are easier to bear and adventures more
successful when we have partners to share the work and
challenges. Life-long partnerships are the best because long-time
friends know our stories and our characters.

 

In this passage, Andrew helps his brother, Peter, find Jesus.

 

 

Is there someone in your life who is an Andrew to your Peter?

 

 

Have you shared an adventure with someone in business or
ministry?
