Come And See

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

Evangelism is not about having the right words. It is about being faithful in sharing our passion about what Jesus has done in our lives, and then inviting people to "come and see" for themselves what He is all about.

Church researcher George Barna pinpoints the main reason why many believers do not share their faith. He states, “In asking Christians about their witnessing activities, we have found that nine out of ten individuals who attempt to explain their beliefs and theology to other people come away from ...read more

We Come To Jesus In Steps (John 1:29-42) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 4, 2022

No one starts of knowing Jesus, or who he is. And that's okay. What's important, is that you "come to" Jesus, and "abide" with him. You can't come to Jesus, while keeping your (objective) distance.
