In John 1:43–51, Nathanael hears that Philip has found the Messiah. His response is skeptical: “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip doesn't argue with him. He simply says, “Come and see.” In this message, Pastor Jeff Lynch explores what happens when we bring our questions, assumptions, doubts, and disappointments directly to Jesus. You'll discover four important truths: Don't let your assumptions keep you from Jesus. Your questions do not disqualify you. Jesus knows what no one else can see. An encounter with Jesus can change your conclusion. Maybe you've been hurt by church people. Maybe you've questioned whether Christianity is really true. Maybe you've believed in Jesus for years but haven't actually taken the next step of following Him. Or maybe you're simply weary, searching for purpose, peace, and hope. Jesus' invitation remains the same: Come and see. You don't have to have every question answered before you take a step toward Him. Bring your questions. Bring your doubts. Bring your assumptions. Come and see who Jesus really is. If this message speaks to you, share it with someone who may be searching for answers about Jesus, faith, and purpose.
