C. If you were friends with Peter, James, and John, what takeaway would you gain from your friendship?
From Peter, James, and John:
1. The name you begin with is not necessarily the name you end with…Simon/Thunder!
2. What if Andrew hadn’t been obedient? The primary leader of the church was brought to Jesus by Andrew.
3. To be great in God’s Kingdom requires more time with Jesus.
4. Don’t let fear keep you from fully following Christ!
5. Ordinary can become extraordinary when God is behind you!
6. Don’t allow a lack of understanding to keep you from following. Continue to trust and allow God to lead, even when things do not seem to be what you anticipated.
From Jesus:
7. All of us need close friends to share time.
8. Even your best friends may not understand you.
9. God looks at who you can be, not at who you are!
10. God will use the everyday, ordinary experiences of our lives to prepare us for greater things.
11. God will teach you greater things from your failures than your successes.
12. You cannot always depend on those you love to always be there…but God can always be depended upon!
