To replace the vacancy left by the death of Judas, the remaining apostles chose out two men that had been with them from Jesus’ baptism by John until His ascension. After casting lots, Matthias was numbered with the eleven. That is the last time in Scripture that we find the church casting lots to find the will of God. Now Christians discern God’s will for their lives through prayer and His inspired Word. Please open your Bible to Acts chapter one, verse twenty-one, and listen as Pastor Ray Viola completes his study of verses twelve through twenty-six.
