Sermon Title: Witness in Action

Preacher: Jeremy Deck

Last week's text demonstrated that the call that Jesus gives is a fundamentally transformative call––it calls us to be witnesses, compels us to proclaim. This week's text now shows us what that witness looks like in action. We see five characteristics of Christian Witness in John 1:43-51.

1. The Continuation of Christian Witness (vv. 43-44).

2. The Central Claim of Christian Witness (v. 45).

3. The Contention to Christian Witness (v. 46a).

4. The Call of Christian Witness (v. 46b).

5. The Consequence of Christian Witness (vv. 47-51).

The urgency of Christian witness is ultimately met in the person of Jesus.

Preacher: Jeremy Deck

Here in this set of verses, John is asked two kinds of questions.
