  15. Aimmen, Today we.

  16. Bring you the third and final part of the message,

  17. finding God helping others find Him. Finding God helping others

  18. find Him our scripture reading sharp take him from John

  19. chapter one the string to nine to forty six. John

  20. Chapter one, the String nine to forty six. I'll be

  21. reading from their new International versue John testifies about Jesus.

  22. The next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, look,

  23. the lamb of God, who takes away the sin of

  24. the world. This is the one I meant when I said,

  25. a man who comes after me has surpassed me, because

  26. he was before me. I myself did not know him.

  27. But the reason I came baptizing with water was that

  28. he might be revealed to Israel. Then John gave this testimony.

  29. I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a

  30. dog and remained on him, And I myself did not

  31. know him. But the one who sent me to baptize

  32. with water told me, the man on whom you see

  33. the spirit come down and remain as the one who

  34. will baptize with the Holy Spirit. I have seen and

  35. testified that this is called choosing one. Jones's disciples follow Jesus.

  36. The next day, John was there again of his disciples.

  37. When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, look the

  38. lamp of God. When the two disciples heard him say this,

  39. they followed Jesus. Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked,

  40. what do you want. They said, rabbi, which means teacher.

  41. Where are you staying, Come, he replied, and you will see.

  42. So they went and saw where he was staying, and

  43. they spent that day with him. It was about four

  44. in the afternoon. Andrew, Simon Peters's brother, was one of

  45. the two who had what John had said and who

  46. had followed Jesus. The first thing Anti date was to

  47. find his brother Simon and tell him we have found

  48. the Messiah, that is the Christ. And he brought him

  49. to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, you are

  50. Simon snel John. You will be called Sephas, which when

  51. translated is Peter. Jesus calls Philip and Nathaniel. The next day,

  52. Jesus decided to leave for Kalibi. Finding Philip, he said

  53. to him, follow me. Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was

  54. from the town of Bedsider. Philip found Nathaniel and told him,

  55. we have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law,

  56. and about whom the prophet also rootes, Jesus of Nazareth,

  57. the son of Joseph Nazareth. Can anything good come from there?

  58. Nathaniel asked, Come and see, said Philip. The Lord add

  59. his blessings to the reading, and hearing of his word.

  60. Thanks be to God.

  61. Finding God Part three Helping Others find Him. Yesterday we

  62. were reminded that finding God is not the end of

  63. the journey. Having found him, we must continue to honor

  64. Him with reverence, guarding our hearts against the danger of familiarity.

  65. But there is yet another step. Once we have found

  66. him and come to cherish his presence, God calls us

  67. to help others find him too. This is exactly what

  68. we see in the opening chapter of John's Gospel. John

  69. the Baptist had spent time seeking God, listening to his voice,

  70. and recognizing the signs he had given concerning the Messiah.

  71. But when Jesus appeared, John did not keep that revelation

  72. to himself. Pointing at GESI says, he boldly declared, behold

  73. the lamb of God, who takes away the sin of

  74. the world. John Chapter one, the verse twenty nine. He

  75. became a witness to the light. In fact, he was

  76. so committed to God's papers that he willingly pointed his

  77. own disciples away from himself and toward Christ. John's greatest

  78. joy was not in gathering followers, but in helping people

  79. find Jesus. The same pattern continued. Andrew found Jesus and

  80. immediately went looking for his brother Simon Peter saying, we

  81. have found the Messiah. Philip found Jesus and went searching

  82. for Nathaniel. One encounter led to another. One testimony opened

  83. the door for another's soul to believe. Many people around

  84. us are still searching. Some are looking for purpos, others

  85. for peace, answers, hope, or direction. Like the Athenians pull

  86. met in Act seventeen, they may not even realize that

  87. the God they seek is already near them. Perhaps they

  88. have seen traces of His hand in their lives, but

  89. do not yet recognize them. This is where God calls

  90. us to step in. We become witnesses, helping others see

  91. the evidence of His presence, sharing what He has done

  92. for us, and pointing them to the one we have found. Beloved,

  93. God did not reveal himself to you merely for your benefits.

  94. He revealed himself so that through your life others might

  95. find him too. May we become faithful signs posts that

  96. points men and women to Jesus. God, richly bless you.

  97. Let us kind of take our memory verse for today.

  98. Our memory verse for today is taken from John chapter one,

  99. the verse forty one. John Chapter one, the verse forty one.

  100. I will be reading from the New International version. The

  101. first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon

  102. and tell him we have found a mesire that is

  103. the Christ. The first thing Andrew did was to find

  104. his brother Simon and tell him we have found the

  105. mesire that is the Christ. Amen, Amen, let us kind

  106. of share a word of prayer. Our Heavenly Father, thank

  107. you for revealing yourself to us. Help us to become

  108. faithfulwardnesses of your goodness and grace. Our eyes to those

  109. around us who worth section, and give us the courage

  110. and wisdom to point them to Christ. Let our lives

  111. help others find you in Jesus his name. Amen, Amen.

  112. Beloved, thank you for being with us all through the series.

  113. It is our prayer that you will find God, honor

  114. him so dearly, and leave many others to find him too.

  115. By Gosh grace, our morning, glory devotion will come your

  116. way again tomorrow. At the same time, keep your dogs
