The Disciples are Chosen

PRAY.COM
About this episode

Witness how Jesus transforms simple fishermen and everyday people into the foundation of His divine mission.

In this episode, Jesus calls twelve ordinary men to be His disciples, choosing them not for their status or wisdom, but for their hearts and potential to fulfill God’s purpose. As Jesus teaches them the meaning of true discipleship, He prepares them for the journey ahead—one that requires self-denial and unwavering faith.

Today's Bible verse is Matthew 22:14, from the King James Version.
