THE HOPE INITIATIVE
“Come and See”
John 1:35-49
Main Idea: Other people come to faith in Jesus Christ because of personal connections with believers.
- The Ripple Effect of Relationships
John the Baptizer - “Behold, the Lamb of God!” (vs. 35-37)
> John, son of Zebedee (Matthew 4:21-22)
> James, son of Zebedee
> Andrew - “We have found the Messiah” (vs. 38-42)
> Simon {Peter} - “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:16)
> Philip - “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law…” (vs. 43-49)
> Nathaniel {Bartholomew} - “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel.”
- The Principle of Bonding
- Relationships are the glue that bonds people to the church.
- The fewer relationships a person has in a church, the more apt that person is to leave.
- The more relationships a person has in a church, the greater their potential for staying and participation.
- It takes, on average, 7 “touches” and 3 “hearings” for some to come to Christ.
- Touches = Personal contacts
- Hearings = Clear presentations of the Good News
- The Power of an Invitation
- Jesus invitation to “come and see” transformed lives.
- The disciples’ invitation to “come and see” radically changed lives.
- Who are you inviting to come and see?
Action Steps:
