Introduction

  • Matthew 4:18; 10:2; Mark 1:16; Luke 6:14; John 1:40; 6:8
  • Andrew was always described as Peter’s brother.
  • John 12:20
  • Mark 13:3-4
  • Just because Andrew’s work was not mentioned much in the Bible does not mean his work wasn’t important.
  • Mark 3:13
  • Mark 14:6 – This small act was remembered!
  • Mark 9:41

He spotted the truth and told others about it

  • John 1:35-42
  • John 1:15, 19-23, 29
  • Am I open to truth like this? If we are waiting for the majority, we won’t be like Andrew!
  • Andrew brought Peter to Jesus and Peter is still teaching many through his recorded words. Not bad work for the ordinary man Andrew!

He changed his life for Jesus

  • Mark 1:14-22
  • He dropped everything to follow Jesus!
  • Acts 23:24-25 – Don’t be like Felix!
  • We all have our own lives. So did Andrew. But he dropped everything to follow Jesus.

He was still a disciple after seeing what was involved

  • Acts 1:13-14
  • Matthew 10:16-23 – Their job was not a rosy picture!
  • Matthew 13:20-21
  • Being a Christian means persecution and enduring temptation.
