Thomas
This is the last installment in my series of posts on Jesus’ disciples. What does it take for you to believe God? What must He do for you to trust His word and have faith in His promises? We often call this disciple of Christ “Doubting Thomas”—but when I consider his actions, I wonder how…

Judas
This is the seventh installment in my series of posts on Jesus’ disciples. “Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, ‘What are you willing to give me to betray Him to you?’ And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver to him. From then on he began…

Peter
This is the second installment in my series of posts on Jesus’ disciples If there’s one disciple whose life proves that God’s patience never runs out, it has got to be Peter.

Andrew
This is the first installment in my series of posts on Jesus’ disciples. ***While this series will discuss the disciples of Christ, you may notice that there will not be twelve parts. This is not because I think some of them were less faithful or less used by the Lord than others. Due to the…
