James the Lessor & Nathanael

DESCRIPTION: One we know quite a bit about. One we know nearly nothing about. Yet interaction with Jesus changes how we see everything.

SPEAKER: Jeremy Pickwell

SERMON DATE: March 3, 2024

KEY VERSES:

  • Psalm 33:13-14; Hebrews 11:32-38; John 1:43-51

BULLET POINTS:

  • Jesus saw Nathanael before Nathanael saw Him.

  • Though James the Lessor is a minor figure, He mattered to Jesus.

  • We need to be comfortable with being an OTHER from Hebrews. Though we aren’t known, we have a big impact.

  • Obscurity does not mean unimportant.

QUESTIONS TO ASK:

  • Do I find my identity in Jesus or in what others think of me?

  • Am I ok with being useful and hidden, or do I need the light shone on me?
