Under The Fig Tree

Under the fig tree | Pastor Jayson Hill Sunday School · John 1:40-51 · Faith Baptist Church, Williston, Florida A Sunday school study through John 1:40-51 — Andrew brings his brother, Philip brings Nathanael, and Christ promises greater things than being seen under the fig tree. In this message: • Andrew hears John speak, finds the Messiah, and immediately goes and gets his own brother Simon (John 1:40-42) • The mark of a true believer is a burden to see his own family saved — Paul could wish himself accursed for his brethren (Romans 9:1-3) • A man who says he loves God and hates his brother is a liar; we care for a brother's temporal need but not his soul (1 John 4:19-21) • Andrew is little spoken of in scripture, but he led Peter to the Lord — the Lord's requirement is faithfulness, not qualification • Jesus names Simon a stone and recognises what He will make of him; Rome claims Peter as the foundation, but Christ is the chief cornerstone (John 1:42) • Philip says 'we have found him,' yet it is the Lord who does the seeking and the finding (John 1:43-45) • Philip called Him 'the son of Joseph' and still witnessed — God would rather have a willing witness than a prepared one who never goes (John 1:45) • Nathanael's prejudice against Nazareth nearly cost him Christ; the best answer to an objection is 'Come and see' (John 1:46) • Christ saw Nathanael under the fig tree before Philip ever called him, and promises greater things — the angels ascending and descending on the Son of man, the ladder from earth to heaven (John 1:47-51, Genesis 28) Scripture: John 1:40-51 · Romans 9:1-3 · 1 John 4:19-21 · Genesis 28 Also in this service: Congregational singing of hymn number 30, 'Bless the Lord,' with prayer for the study of the word before the lesson and prayer at the close.
