Matthias - The Twelfth Apostle

In this Sojourner Storycast episode, we explore the story of Matthias and how God continued building His Church after Judas’ betrayal of Jesus. In the upper room, the disciples gathered in prayer, trusting God to guide them as they sought someone to take Judas’s place among the twelve apostles. Through Scripture, prayer, and casting lots, we see that this was not random chance, but God sovereignly guiding His people to restore the number twelve and show that His plan was still whole and moving forward. We witness the early believers depending on God, praying, “Lord, You know every heart,” and asking Him to show which man He had chosen. Matthias is selected, not by human decision alone, but by God’s providence, and he is numbered with the eleven apostles. This story reminds us that the apostles were chosen by Jesus as eyewitnesses of His resurrection and foundational leaders of the Church, and that even in uncertainty or loss, God’s plan never fails—He is always building one united people for Himself through Jesus Christ. Scripture: Acts 1:15–26; Matthew 28:19–20; Luke 6:13; Revelation 21:14; Proverbs 16:33 This episode is part of the Sojourner Storycast—a storytelling series for kids, teens, and families that weaves Scripture together to show how God faithfully works through His people to accomplish His perfect plan.
