The Many Names of Thaddeus

As we celebrate the dedication of Thaddeus Joel Horwell, Daniel  Townley preaches on the many names of Thaddeus in the Bible. From  reading Phil 2: 5-11 and Mark 3: 13-19, we begin to understand the story  of Thaddeus and his massive display of courage as he took Judas’ place  in discipleship, not only giving up his home, family and business, but  living in the shadow of the man who betrayed Jesus. We learn that like  all the disciples, God specifically selected a man on action  who would  witness, listen to and emulate the Glory of God. “Thaddeus the disciple stood firm and continued to boldly declare the truth about Jesus Christ”. “The important question is not whether or not you are on mission, but whose mission you are on”.
