Text: Habakkuk 1:5; John 1:43-51

Jesus is building His church.

He invites us to COME AND JOIN Him!

1. COME AND IMAGINE

COME AND IMAGINE what God will do through you and this church.

COME AND IMAGINE the great and amazing things God is already doing.

Without IMAGINATION, there is NO INSPIRATION.

Without IMAGINATION, there is NO VISION!

Without IMAGINTATION, there is NO REALIZATION!

2. COME AND ASK

“Can anything good come from here?” (v.46)

Do not presume. — Do not have pre-conceived notions. — Rid your prejudice. — Do not be afraid to ask tough questions.

3. COME AND SEE (FOR YOURSELF)

COME AND SEE what God is doing here.

COME AND SEE God’s wonder in this place.

COME AND SEE God’s beautiful people worshiping together.

COME AND SEE God’s people growing and maturing.

COME AND SEE God’s people doing life together.

COME AND SEE God moving!

4. COME AND BE AMAZED AT GOD

“Look at the nations and watch — and BE UTTERLY AMAZED. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” (Habakkuk 1:5).

Theme: Commitment to WAITING on God

There are FOUR THINGS that God wants us to do while WE WAIT ON HIM:

1.God wants us to WATCH HIM

“When you see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests, who are Levites, carrying it, you are to move out

from your positions and follow it.” (v.3)

2. God wants to SHOW US THE WAY

“Then you will know which WAY to go, since you have never been this way before.” (v.4)

3. God wants us to WORSHIP

“CONSECRATE (worship) yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.” (v.6)

4. God wants to teach us NOT TO WAVER IN OUR FAITH

“And the LORD said to Joshua, ‘Today I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they MAY KNOW that I am with you as

I was with Moses.” (v.7)
