The gospels give us four accounts of the life of Christ

Focusing in on the period at the beginning of Jesus’ earthly ministry 

The ministry of John the Baptist           

• Luke 1:13-17

 John proclaims Jesus

• John 1:23-34

John points his disciples towards Jesus, they leave and follow Jesus

• John 1:35-37
• John’s Message gave credibility to Jesus. – Jesus gave credibility to John’s message.

A pattern of oikos develops:

• John 1:38-39
• John 1:40-42
• John 1:43-44
• John 1:45-46
• John 1:47-49
• Meet Jesus, Follow Jesus, Share Jesus, Request

We should follow this pattern because we serve a living savior

How to introduce someone to Jesus

• Mark 2:14-15
• If you know Jesus, you know enough to tell others about Him

Come and see and invite others to come and see.
