Andrew: The Determined Disciple
Marvin D. Patterson
John 1:35-42
Lyman Beecher was a great theologian and scholar. In his day, he was considered to be one of the greatest thinkers and minds in the world.

Friends, you may not be a King David, who wrote many of the beautiful Psalms, or a Simon Peter who preached on the Day of Pentecost and 3000 were saved. You may not be a Moses, who led over 2 million Jews out of the Egyptian bondage into the Promised Land, but you can be an Andrew! For his trademark was that he was always bringing people to Jesus.
In the sight of the world, Andrew played second fiddle to Peter. He is known as the brother of Peter. He is always in the shadow of Simon Peter. And yet, it was Andrew who brought Peter to Jesus! If there were not an Andrew, there would ...
