Come and See

In this message from 1 John 1:1–4, Pastor Chris explores the simple but powerful invitation at the heart of the Christian life: “Come and see.” Christianity is not merely a set of ideas—it is an invitation to experience life with Jesus. The Apostle John writes from personal experience. He had seen Jesus, heard Him teach, and walked with Him daily, and that encounter changed everything. Because of that, John could not keep the good news to himself. This message reminds us that the same Jesus the apostles knew is the Jesus we walk with today. When we experience His forgiveness, grace, and transforming presence, it naturally leads us to share that life with others. Evangelism does not always begin with a debate or a long explanation—it often begins with a simple invitation.Pastor Chris unpacks how believers can live with this posture toward the world around them: inviting neighbors, friends, coworkers, and family members to discover the life we have found in Christ. Whether through a conversation, a personal story, or an invitation to church, God uses ordinary people to build bridges that lead others to Jesus.Because when someone encounters Christ—sins are forgiven, life is made new, and heaven rejoices.Life with Jesus is too good to keep to ourselves.
