The Vineyard- January 19, 2014

The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

John 1:43-51
Pray for God to speak to you through the reading of His word. 
Read the passage. 
-          “Follow Me”
o   Philip begins a remarkable journey, and witnesses the greatest events in history (Jesus crucifixion and resurrection), all because he listen to Jesus’ when he told him “follow me”.
o   Have you heard the voice of Jesus in your life saying “follow me”?  If so, did you listen to it?
o   Have you ever stopped to think about what all you are missing out on by not following Jesus?
-          Blessed by the Unexpected
o   Nathanael had trouble believing that Jesus was really the Messiah, because he was from Nazareth.
o   Has God ever blessed your life in an unexpected way?
o   Do you look for God’s work, even in unlikely places?
-          Known by God
o   Nathanael was shocked that Jesus knew so much about him.  Does God ever surprise you as Jesus surprised Nathanael?
o   Have you ever thought about the fact that God knows you, better even than you know yourself? 

Pray that God will open our eyes to blessing from unexpected places, and thank him for knowing us in such a marvelous way!
