! INTRODUCTION
* *
*1. **So far you may have identified yourself with one of the Apostles*
a. Peter – a guy who makes very QUICK decisions
b. Andrew – that humble behind the SCENES guy
c. James – insensitive, ambitious guy
d. John – very intolerant and clannish person
e. YET, they ALLOWED God to remake them into VESSELS Jesus could use
f.
Ordinary people that God used to do EXTRA-ORDINARY work
*2.
**Going to look at Philip tonight*
a. No, not DEACON Philip
i.
He evangelized Samaria
ii.
He led the Ethiopian eunuch to the Lord
b.
You will NOT find anything about APOSTLE Philip in the first three Gospels other than his NAME
c. John though gives some INSIGHT into Apostle Philip
d. Going to look at John 1, 6 and 14
e. Going to look at HOW Philip’s faith GREW
*FIRST: GIVE JESUS AN OPPORTUNITY *
* *
*John 1:43 *The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
* *
*1. **We looked at the time when ANDREW brought his brother Peter to Jesus*
a.
The NEXT day Jesus prepares to LEAVE for Galilee
b.
He finds Philip and issues the SAME call to him as to Andrew and Peter
c. Philip must have KNOWN the two brothers
i.
They were ALL from Bethsaida
*John 1:44 *Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
* *
d.
And too, like the two brothers, Philip probably was a follower of John the Baptist
e. Would explain why he was so far south – some 100 miles – in Bethany
f.
He was there to HEAR John the Baptist preach
g. Jesus issues the CALL to Philip
i.
After the call Philip IMMEDIATELY goes to his friend NATHANAEL
*John 1:45 *Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
* *
*2. **Verse 45 tells us that Philip would be what we call a ‘SEEKER’*
a.
He KNEW the Old Testament
b.
He KNEW the Messiah was COMING
c.
He WANTED to SHARE his GOOD NEWS
i.
The Messiah has COME
d.
But Nathanael is NOT so convinced
*John 1:46 *And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?
Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
* *
i.
Nathanael was a very PREJUDICE man
ii.
He looked DOWN on Nazareth
iii.
Nazareth was a SMALL town
iv.
NOT famous for anything or anyone
e. NOTICE that Philip does NOT argue with Nathanael
i.
OR even attempt to answer the SILLY question
f.
He simply says ‘COME AND SEE’
g. Interestingly we see these words again on Resurrection Sunday
i.
COME AND SEE
h.
Philip learned real quick that there will ALWAYS be skeptical people
i. ONLY way around that problem is for them to meet Jesus PERSONALLY
*3.
**As SMART as we may THINK we are - we really DON’T have ALL the answers*
a.
And we can quickly get in over our heads THEOLOGICALLY
b.
All we can do is POINT that person to the ONE who has ALL the answers
c.
All we can do is POINT that person to JESUS
d.
All we can do is POINT that person to His Word – the BIBLE
*Isa 55:11 *So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper /in the thing/ whereto I sent it.
e.
That is WHAT Philip did - and it WORKED
i.
After Nathanael met Jesus - he too became a disciple
f. Interesting too, that Philip was NOT afraid to tell his FRIEND about Jesus
i.
Philip gave Jesus an OPPORTUNITY to work on Nathaniel’s heart
g.
We too need to give Jesus an OPPORTUNITY to work.
*SECOND: INCLUDE JESUS IN YOUR DECISION MAKING PROCESS*
* *
*John 6:5 *When Jesus then lifted up /his/ eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
*1.
**We looked at this event from Andrew’s perspective a while back*
a. HOW did Philip handle it?
b. Remember
i.
Philip saw Jesus turn the water into WINE at the Wedding in Cana (John 2:1-11)
ii.
Philip saw Jesus heal the LAME man by the pool in Bethesda (John 5:1-8)
