Simon The Zealot -- A Man On Fire (11 of 13)
12 Men Who Changed The World

Luke 6:15
INTRO: I want you to take your Bible's now this morning and be finding your place at Luke chapter 6 if you would. We are quickly coming to the conclusion of a series of character studies that we began back in February on the 12 men that Jesus called to come after Him, learn from Him, be transformed by Him and then be sent out by Him to totally change the world.

But also, the way the building was made with all of the wrought iron and pictures on the wall and hanging ferns was cool too. So, it was just a neat place to be. Another reason that this place was so special is because there was actually a song that was written about it. I didn't know at the tim ...
