Come & See

May 25, 2025 | John 1.35-51 | Rob Collis

When Jesus calls us to follow him, he doesn’t strong-arm us into believing a certain way. Instead, he exhorts and invites us to join him in his ongoing work of reconciling all things to himself. As we follow in his ways, we can’t keep on living our lives as though nothing has changed. Jesus intends for us to become his faithful witnesses in the world around us: seeing where he is already at work, and helping point him out to the people around us.

More often than not, when people learn about Jesus in the Bible, it’s in the context of an existing relationship with someone they know. This week, Rob Collis preaches from John 1.35-51. In this passage, we see three common relationships people have in life: relationships with mentors, family, and friends – and we see how Jesus comes into those spaces, and enters our relationships to encounter us and the people we already know.
