John 1:46 NIV
46 “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked.
“Come and see,” said Philip.
INVITE: Sometimes, people have doubts or misconceptions about church or faith. Like Philip, we can respond with a simple invitation to “come and see.” Think of friends or family who may be skeptical or unsure about church. Invite them to join you and see for themselves the goodness and truth of God’s community.
