Back to EpisodesThe Gospel of John- That You May Believe: John 1:35-51
Description
What if two words could change someone's life forever? In John chapter 1, Jesus extends one of the most powerful invitations in all of Scripture: come and see. This message explores what that invitation means, why it still matters today, and how ordinary people like Andrew, Philip, and Nathanael model the kind of faith-sharing that anyone can do.
Topics covered include why Jesus asked His disciples "what are you seeking," what it means that He renamed Simon to Peter before Peter had done anything to earn it, how Philip responded to Nathanael's skepticism without arguing or debating, and what it looks like when Jesus truly sees a person in their most private and vulnerable moments.
This is a message for anyone who has ever felt unseen, anyone who has been hesitant to invite a friend or family member to explore faith, or anyone wondering what it actually means to follow Jesus. Whether you are a longtime believer or someone who is just beginning to ask questions, the invitation is the same: come and see.
