From the Pulpit...

In part 4, of our series in Acts 1:12-26, we go over the process that the apostles used to select a replacement for Judas. Despite how easy it is to focus on the lot-casting, there were three prior steps: they laid out qualifications, they nominated qualified men, and they prayed. Only after that did they cast lots. Pastor Matt explained why we do not use lots today in important decisions, though we might do so to decide between otherwise equal options.
