Come and See - John

Happy New Year! As we step into a fresh year with new energy and hopes to grow, Pastor dives into the story of Philip and Nathanael in John 1 to show us that spiritual growth isn't accidental—it's intentional. Whether you're searching for God or ready to help someone else find Him, this sermon outlines the clear next step Jesus has for you. ✍️ Sermon Notes & Key Points In this message, Pastor explores how the new year's energy for self-improvement can be redirected into spiritual growth. Using the encounter between Jesus, Philip, and Nathanael, he lays out a pathway for every person in the room. Key Points: The New Year brings a unique energy for wanting to be better, but lasting spiritual growth doesn't happen by accident. We must be intentional. A primary reason people stall in their faith is by neglecting the "watch one, do one, teach one" model of discipleship built into the early church. We grow when we help others grow. Jesus’s Great Commission isn't to be a disciple, but to make disciples (Matthew 28:18-20). Our faith is meant to be shared. You are either in the position of Nathanael (searching) and need to "come and see" Jesus for yourself, or you are in the position of Philip (ready) and need to invite someone else to "come and see." Alpha is a perfect, no-pressure next step. If you're searching (a Nathanael), come to Alpha to explore life's biggest questions. If you're a follower of Jesus (a Philip), your role is to bring a searching friend. Key Scriptures Referenced: John 1:43-51 - The calling of Philip and Nathanael. ("Come and see.")

And I wanna say, part of what may be incumbent upon you is you have to help somebody else. That's the next step in your life... Some of you need to help somebody else meet Jesus, or you need to help somebody who has met Jesus grow.” Want to catch up on our series?
