EPISODE OVERVIEW

In the kickoff to the new series "Seeking Jesus," Pastor Steven Furtick urges listeners to transform their approach to faith by starting with confidence in God’s promises ("begin with Amen"). The episode explores the story of Jesus calling his disciples in John 1:43-51, highlighting Philip and Nathanael, and contrasts seeking "someone" (Jesus) with seeking "something." Furtick challenges conventional wisdom about faith, examining how belief shapes what we experience of God’s presence and power.

KEY DISCUSSION POINTS & INSIGHTS

1. Seeking Jesus – Series Introduction

• [02:25] Pastor Furtick reveals the new sermon series, "Seeking Jesus," designed to help listeners move beyond distractions to find a deep, authentic relationship with Christ.
  • “Something to help us stop scrolling so much and start seeking Jesus. Stop digging through the dumpster to find a meal and start seeking the bread of life.” (Steven Furtick, 02:34)

2. Seeking Someone vs. Something

• [03:38] Furtick contrasts the fleeting satisfaction of seeking things with the ongoing journey of seeking someone (Jesus).
  • Example: Finding his wife’s lost ring is a one-time task, but the relationship continues to grow after marriage— “When you seek a thing and you get it, you’re finished. When you seek someone and you find them, you go deeper.” (Steven Furtick, 04:10)

3. The Calling of Philip and Nathanael: ‘Follow Me’

• [04:50–09:19] Reading John 1:43-51, Furtick spotlights Philip’s immediate obedience and Nathanael’s skepticism.
• Theme: The discomfort of responding to God’s call without all the answers.
  • “He said, ‘Follow me.’ For what? You’ll find out if you follow me. When God speaks, reason can never answer. God cannot be sought at the level of mind. God must be experienced at the level of spirit.” (Steven Furtick, 15:28)
• Key Point: Faith means stepping out without knowing all the details: “You have to follow to find out.” (Steven Furtick, 16:14)

4. Faith as ‘Follow to Find Out’

• [16:40] Most people want the plan before obeying, but Jesus doesn’t offer all the details—he calls us to trust.

  • “He never called you to figure out. He just called you to follow.” (Steven Furtick, 16:42)

• Application:

  • Pray for the courage to follow even when the future is unclear.
  • Release the pressure to have it all figured out; trust grows deeper on the journey.

5. Moving from ‘See to Believe’ to ‘Believe to See’

• [18:17–25:46] Furtick flips the cultural script—sometimes faith requires believing first before seeing God move.
  • “Sometimes you have to believe it to see it.” (Steven Furtick, 18:46)
• Using Philip and Nathanael, the message illustrates how doubt, background, or past experiences can limit what we receive from God.

6. Overcoming Labels and Limitations

• [23:01] Nathanael’s bias: “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” exposes our tendency to dismiss what doesn’t fit our expectations.

  • Furtick draws parallels to modern prejudice and self-limiting beliefs: “God is bigger than your background... God will come to places you were taught he’d stay away from. God will use people you were taught he hated. God will do things you were taught were impossible.” (Steven Furtick, 24:00)

• Application:

  • Where have you said, “Not Nazareth”—assuming God can’t use your mess, loss, or hurt? Furtick encourages: “Follow him and find out.” (Steven Furtick, 26:58)

7. The Power of ‘Amen’ and Living Belief

• [35:13–39:04] Furtick revisits the word “Amen”—its meaning, its placement in worship, and how Jesus uniquely used it.

  • “When you say amen, you’re not talking to me at all. You’re talking to the one the word came from. So when you say amen, you’re saying, God, let it be like that in my life.” (Steven Furtick, 38:16)
  • Notable congregation moment: Story of a boy who shouted “Let the wild hog eat!”—emphasizing the power and authenticity of a true, heartfelt “amen”. (Steven Furtick, 36:22)

• Key Insight:

  • Jesus says “Amen” to God’s promises before they happen, inviting us to agree and start with faith that it’s already done.

8. Jesus is the ‘Seeker’

• [43:00–45:44] Correction of the idea that we are the primary seekers; actually, Jesus seeks and finds us first.

  • “You want to know why I’m here today? Not because I found Jesus. The truth of the matter is, some of us weren’t even looking, but he was... My story is not the story of Stephen seeking Jesus. My story is Jesus sought Stephen.” (Steven Furtick, 43:15)

• Comfort for Parents and the Lost:

  • Hope for parents or listeners worried about “lost” loved ones: “The Lord knows where to find them. He found you, didn’t he?” (Steven Furtick, 47:53)

9. Jesus as the Amen of God

• [51:05–54:55] In the Gospel of John, only Jesus says “Amen, Amen” repeatedly before making a declaration, affirming his authority and the certainty of his word.
  • “When my great big water walking Jesus, when he speaks a thing, he doesn’t wait to find out if you agree. If he said it, that settles it. Somebody shout Amen.” (Steven Furtick, 52:26)
  • “He is the Amen of God... He said Amen. Whatever comes after it is true... Nothing can cancel it.” (Steven Furtick, 53:16)

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

It's so good to be back.

[Steven Furtick]

I love it. I'm excited today because I'm starting a

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

brand new sermon series. That's right. That's right.

[Steven Furtick]

I didn't even tell anybody. I hardly even told Holly. I put something down in my phone over a year ago and I've been saving it for the season. I felt the Lord wanted me to release it. That season is here. So from now until Easter we're going to be in a special sermon series. The series is called Seeking Jesus. Seeking Jesus. Praise the Lord. Something to help us get Past all of the distractions that are in our life and seek Jesus Something to help us tune out all the noise and seek Jesus Something to help us stop scrolling so much and start seeking Jesus. Stop digging through the dumpster to find a meal and start seeking the bread of life. Seeking Jesus. Stop groping around in the darkness looking for wisdom and start asking the one who is wisdom what to do with our lives. Seeking Jesus. I'm believing that he's going to speak to you, and I'm excited about these next few weeks. I want you to go ahead and be seated as the worship team is dismissed. As we set up our scripture,

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

the

[Steven Furtick]

title of my first message for this new series. It may sound backwards when I say it, but I promise you it'll make sense by the end. Today I want to teach you how to begin with amen. Begin with Amen. Thank you so much, lj. We're going to be in John chapter one. And throughout the course of this series, I hope to be able to give you several pictures of Jesus from the New Testament that will help you to see him for who he is. When I was in my 30s, I did a series called Savage Jesus. I guess I'm getting soft in my old age. Now I'm preaching about seeking Jesus. Now, when we say seeking Jesus, as you find John 1:43:51 in your Bible, John 1:43:51, understand that when we say seeking Jesus, we're seeking someone, not something. Here's the difference. The other day, Holly lost her ring. I could see she was getting frustrated. I said, move aside. The professional is on the job. I paid for it. I guarantee you I'll find it. I will. I'll stick my hand through your nostril to find it if I have to. The ring was expensive. I said, I bet you I'll find it in three seconds. It wasn't three seconds, but it was only about two minutes. I was seeking her ring, I found her ring, I handed her her ring, and we were done. When you're seeking a thing and you find it, you're done. When you're seeking a thing and you get it, you're finished. Seek, find, finish. That simple. When you're seeking someone, let's use the context of marriage again. I gave Holly a ring, made her my wife. That's a relationship. So when I found my wife, I didn't stop seeking. Because when you seek a thing and you find it, you're done. But when you seek someone and you find them, you go deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper. An entire marriage seminar was just presented in the first two minutes of my sermon. Half of y' all missed it because you're still getting your notes out. Just write at the top of your page, write, Seeking Jesus, week one, and then put in your notes. Just say, begin with Amen. We're studying the beginning of Jesus ministry on earth in John chapter one. If I was about 20 years younger, I would say Jesus has motion. But since I'm not, I'll just say, his ministry is beginning with significant momentum. John the Baptist, who was the man who jumped in the womb, recognizing the voice, or at least the frequency of his cousin Jesus in Mary's womb, has pointed the way. He said, look the Lamb of God. Look, the Lamb of God. He had that ability to see Jesus. He saw Jesus before Jesus was even visible. He knew Jesus for who Jesus was. He saw Jesus as the Lamb of God that was prophesied and slain from the foundations of the earth. John began to do something very unusual in ministry. He began to give his members to another pastor. Well, I was going to say, I've never done that before, but there are a few members I've gladly given to another pastor, but not the good ones. John the Baptist gave the good ones to another pastor. He said, here you go. That's the Lamb of God. Follow him. One of those two was named Andrew. And Andrew had a brother who went by the name of Simon. Simon had his name changed to Peter, which means rock. So Jesus takes Simon, turns him into Dwayne Johnson, and they start the ministry. Y' all have missed my corny jokes. I can tell you've been starving. Where there's at least three or four of them at this point in John chapter one that are following Jesus. Another great term that we want to talk about today is following Jesus in John 1:43. Let me go ahead and read the Scripture now. The Bible says the next day, Jesus decided to leave for Galilee, finding Philip. He said to him, follow me. Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida. Philip found Nathanael and told him, we have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote. Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. Nazareth. Can anything good come from Nazareth? Nathanael asked. Come and see, said Philip. When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said to him, here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit. How do you know me? Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you. Then Nathanael declared, rabbi, you are The Son of God. You are the King of Israel. Jesus said, you believe because I told

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

you I saw you under the fig tree. You'll see greater things than that.

[Steven Furtick]

He then added, very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven open and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man. I'm going to throw out a few phrases and you finish them if you know them. Okay, this is not going on your permanent record. Just relax and take the test. Say it out loud if you know it. These are not Bible verses either. You have to know when to hold them, know when to fold them. By the way, you can play along online too. Just type it in the comments. Let's do another one. It's going to get a little harder now.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

You've got to crawl before you can

[Steven Furtick]

two for two. You have to crawl before you can walk. How about this one? You have to see it to believe it. That's true. Sometimes I just need proof. I'm not picking on anybody. But if you tell me as a man that you bench press over a certain amount and you don't look like you bench pressed, I met a guy the other day that told me he could bench over 300. I said, okay. He said, you don't believe me? I said, no, I would have to see it to believe it. Because first of all, I don't know what kind of funky form you got going on to get £300 up in the air. You might be, I don't know, you might break your back getting £300 up in the air. So I don't really know. First of all, that. Secondly, never mind. He said, what do you mean? I said, well, to be honest with you, it just doesn't look like.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

And then he goes, oh, yeah, well,

[Steven Furtick]

no, I can't do it now.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

In college.

[Steven Furtick]

He said, in college, the man was

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

52 years old and still as a frame of reference for his bench press number.

[Steven Furtick]

Yeah, you look like college. Look like you graduated too. You have to see it to believe it. It's the craziest thing nowadays. People just see things and believe them without even verifying the source. One of my relatives the other day said, I heard your friend. And they named my friend who's in ministry. They said, I heard they're selling CBD oil and products now online to raise money for their ministry. Well, I know this person. This person would never do that. That would be the last thing they would do to raise money for their ministry. So I said,

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

show me the post

[Steven Furtick]

you saw that would cause you to

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

believe that Joyce Meyer would be selling CBD oil. Joyce ain't selling CBD oil. I don't even think Joyce Meyer eats French fries. She's so holy. The holiest person I know. You're not going to convince me. You can bench 300 and you look. You're not going to convince me. Joyce Meyer is so. I know her. You have to show me because I know her. You've got to see it to believe it. That's not a bad thing to live by, even when it comes to this church. Some of y' all who've been around for a while remember when they were saying that we had a water slide on the stage for baptisms. The worst part was they had a picture of it. But you can't believe it because you saw a picture of it. Do you not understand Photoshop? There were people calling our front desk of our ministry. Well, I saw the picture. But you never came to the church until you come to the church. Don't tell me about the picture. That'll preach.

[Steven Furtick]

Don't tell me if you're not willing to see it.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

There's a sense I get in John,

[Steven Furtick]

chapter one, where Philip is saying to Nathanael, you have to see it to believe it.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

That's what Jesus told Andrew and the

[Steven Furtick]

other disciple who wanted to see where he stayed. He said, come and see. They went and hung out and got convinced. Jesus did not feel the need to convince them. I need us to understand that we do not serve a Jesus who explains, but a Jesus who demonstrates. So even when he taught the kingdom of heaven, he did it with parables because it was a demonstration, not an explanation to seek Jesus. This is all I'm trying to say. By my first point, you have to follow to find out. You can't know what God is like evaluating God. You can't figure out what it's like to walk in faith. You have to follow to find out. Put that in the comments and write it down. As my first point, you have to follow to find out. Most of us are used to calculating our decisions in life, so we want to figure out and then follow. Most of us would have never had the faith of Philip. The first character I mentioned where Jesus said, follow me, and he did. I would need a little bit more details than follow me. I don't know the exact profession Philip gave up to do this, but it would take a little bit more. Then follow me. I at least need to know where we're sleeping tonight. But Jesus is leaving for Galilee, which is where he did his ministry and not where he was born. He was born in Bethlehem. He ministered in Galilee and that is where he lived. He's going back there for some undisclosed reason. He turns to Philip and says, follow me. For what? You'll find out if you follow me. When God speaks, reason can never answer. God cannot be sought at the level of mind. God must be experienced at the level of spirit. I don't know who I'm preaching to right now, but you keep telling God when he shows you more, you'll go more. You keep telling God that you will obey him once you understand the outcome. But in matters of faith, you have to follow to find out. Abraham, go to a land. I will show you. What's it going to be like? You have to follow to find out. You'll find out why I called you. As you follow, I cannot describe to you what the next season of your life will be like. If you follow God in faith, you will have to follow to find out. This is where most of us would have never gotten past John 1:43. The whole thing would have ended right there.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Follow me.

[Steven Furtick]

And we would have waited for details and he would not have given them. Because Jesus does not call you to figure out. He calls you to follow. Maybe that gives you relief because there's a sense in which some of you in your mind right now are trying to figure everything out for the future of your life and the next season of your life. Maybe it can be an exhale for

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

you or a sigh of relief or

[Steven Furtick]

a surrender to the Savior to know

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

he never called you to figure out.

[Steven Furtick]

He just called you to follow. But how are we going to pay for it? Follow.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Follow.

[Steven Furtick]

But how is it going to follow? But what's going to happen in three follow? We might not even be here in three years. Have y' all watched the news?

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

I don't know about no three years. I'm just following Jesus the best I can. Today somebody asked me, what's the ten year plan for the church. I'm doing good to have a 10 minute plan for this sermon. I don't even really know what I'm going to say after this first point if you want to know the truth. But I'm trying to follow. And as you follow, you find out that's what Philip knew. I have to find out. There was something in Philip that said, I want to find out. I believe there's somebody in here who

[Steven Furtick]

God is calling you to follow him.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

And it is unseasonably difficult for you to do that right now. But don't you want to find out what your life can be in his hands? Don't you want to find out how freedom feels when you finally decide to forgive that person? Don't you want to find out what it feels like to lay your head down on your pillow at night, knowing you've confessed your sin instead of continuing to hide it? Don't you want to find out what it's like to get beyond this selfish me first generation, where I'm simply just following the crowd and I say goodbye to the crowd and I start following the Christ who is greater than the crowd? Something in Philip, I can't prove it, but something in Philip, I just in front of you it from the text and I deduce it from what is written. He said, I don't know what my future is, but I want to find out behind this man.

[Steven Furtick]

You have to follow him to find out. Sometimes you have to see it to believe it. Here's what I want to talk about today. Other times, you have to believe it to see it. You have to believe it to see it.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Now.

[Steven Furtick]

These are the moments in life where you have no physical proof that what God spoke is true. And it actually contradicts the way you feel in that moment. We're going to move on from Philip for a moment, and we're going to move to this character called Nathanael. This is really who I wanted to talk to you about today. I was just telling you about Philip just in case you can't figure out your life right now, but God is calling you to follow him anyway. That's probably not anybody in here. You probably all have it figured out. Some of us are still trying to figure out what to do. We don't know what to do about this situation with an aging parent or this situation with a struggling child. We don't know what to do about this issue in our body. And we're trying to figure it out, but God is just calling us to follow. So that was for some of us, but for the rest of you who have got it figured out, like Nathanael, Nathanael has got it figured out. Philip found Nathanael and told him we have found the one Moses wrote about in the law. In other words, all of these prophecies were about Jesus. After meeting Jesus, he said, we found him. And about whom the prophets also wrote Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph. We are seeking Jesus in this season of our church. As we seek him, we need to pay attention to everything we can learn about Him. One of the things we need to learn from is the label that was associated with him as he walked the earth. They didn't call him Jesus the Savior yet. He hadn't died for them yet. They did not call him Jesus the Healer yet because he hadn't performed any miracles yet. Not yet. They would see all of that as they followed. But at this point, they only knew him this way. Jesus of Nazareth. It was common to call somebody by where they came from back then. Then they call him the Son of Joseph. Well, that one's kind of complicated, isn't it? Remember Mary's story? She's like, I promised Joseph. It was the Holy Spirit. He came from a questionable background. So when he called him Jesus of Nazareth, Watch Nathanael's response. I was laughing at it as I read it. Maybe you didn't know why he said verse 46, Nazareth. You said you found the Messiah and he comes from Nazareth. Yeah, that's right. Nazareth. Then Nathanael wants to know, can anything good come from there? Come and see, said Philip. Now, the reason Nathanael had a negative perspective of Nazareth is because it was small. And I studied this week, y'.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

All.

[Steven Furtick]

I studied so much this week, I have no idea how I'm going to say Amen at the end of this sermon. That's why I called the sermon Begin with Amen. So wherever we end, we'll just end and come back next week.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

I studied so much for this sermon. This is how much I studied.

[Steven Furtick]

I was waking up last night every hour on the hour. 1am, 2am, 3am, at 4am I had this horrible nightmare that on my way to preach, I got in a terrible car accident. I went to the hospital. I was in the hospital. They had me all hooked up, but I was trying to scan my credit card to pay for the hospital visit. I was telling them, I got to go teach this series at the church. I studied too much. That's how much I love y'.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

All. I was my fictitious hospital bed.

[Steven Furtick]

I got out of my not really

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

hospital bed to preach this to you. I studied and found out that Nathaniel

[Steven Furtick]

came from somewhere near Nazareth, but not Nazareth. Follow me. Nathanael came from a place called Cana.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Cana was also in Galilee, but Cana

[Steven Furtick]

was north of of Galilee.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Cana was distinguished.

[Steven Furtick]

Cana was sophisticated.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Cana was a wealthy place.

[Steven Furtick]

Picture the part of town where you drive through and judge the people and say, it must be nice if I had all their money. That was Cana.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Cana was a place where, if you

[Steven Furtick]

came from there, you wore the sweatshirt

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

straight out of Cana. You would not feel like you came out of the mud, you would feel

[Steven Furtick]

like you came from privilege.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

I'm not calling Nathaniel a snob. I'm just saying he looked down on

[Steven Furtick]

where Jesus came from.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

When he says, can anything good come from there? Come and see. He's giving a negative interpretation of where Jesus came from.

[Steven Furtick]

Based on his background.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

He believes a certain thing about a certain place. And because he believes a certain thing about a certain place, he cannot accept a certain person that came from a certain place. Only problem is John 1:1. John 1:1 says, in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. And the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made. Through him all things were made. Without him, nothing was made that has been made. The Lord stopped me and showed me something. Nathaniel thought that Jesus came from Nazareth, but Jesus didn't really come from Nazareth. If John chapter 1, verse 13 is correct, and through Jesus everything was made that was made. That means Jesus didn't come from Nazareth. Nazareth came from Jesus. And I came to preach about Jesus today. Oh, I preached that better than y' all responded. Through him all things were created. He is not subject to what he made. He is not subject to a human label. He is not a baby who was born in a barn. He is the pre existing God who in John 1:14 became flesh. That's incarnation and dwelt among us. And we beheld his glory, the glory as of the One who came from the Father. They said he came from Nazareth. He said he came from the Father. They said he came from a small place. He said, I came from a place you've never seen. Because in the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. God. And nothing exists without Him. So all I'm saying is God is bigger than your background. God is bigger than your background. Oh, God is bigger than what you think about Him. God is bigger than your little tradition about Him. God is bigger than what you were taught about Him. God will come to places you were taught he'd stay away from. God will use people you were taught he hated. God will do things you were taught were impossible. God will do things. Now, I'm not saying I've seen all

[Steven Furtick]

of it, but sometimes you have to believe it to see it. So if the enemy can keep you from believing it because you've never seen it, he can keep you from ever seeing it and experiencing it. He can keep you from seeing it if he can keep you from believing it. Not Nazareth. Nothing good can come from Nazareth. Somebody say, not Nazareth. Now for Nazareth. Just put whatever in the blank you don't think God can use. Not heartbreak. Not Nazareth. No, no, no. Nothing good can come from a broken heart. The Bible says a broken and a contrite heart he will not despise. He will dwell in what you despise. Not Nazareth. I know you didn't want to get a divorce and now you're saying not after a divorce. God can't use me. I have a word for you. Follow him and find out.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

One man said, fool around and find out.

[Steven Furtick]

But this is the church version.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Follow him and find out. I don't care what they called you. I don't care what they said about you. I'm going to come over on this side. I always come down that wrong side of the steps. God is looking for somebody today who will follow him and. And find out. No, God can't use me. I'm an alcoholic. Follow him and find out. What if God gives you that same passion for his presence you used to have for a substance? Follow him and find out. I speak to somebody who's a drug dealer Right now. You're about to be a disciple. And you're about to turn the chain of supply and demand on his head. When you get hooked into this vine, there's an unlimited supply. Supply. And I don't care what they said about you. And I don't care what you've said about yourself. I don't even know what you've been labeling your kids. I don't even know what the doctor told you Tuesday. But follow him and find out. He's a healer. He's a wave maker. He's a chain breaker. He's a stone roller. Yes, he is. And he came from Nazareth. So if you're going to seek Jesus, you might have to look in Nazareth. You might have to look in a dirty place. You might have to get honest about what you're going through. You might have to get authentic and quit pretending like you have it together and stop saying, praise the Lord, we're fine. And pick up the phone and call a counselor and say, I need help. Because the help might come from Nazareth.

[Steven Furtick]

Nazareth. I kept saying it wrong all week. Nazareth.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Like I was saying Lazarus and Nazareth. The Lord said, well, what do the

[Steven Furtick]

two things have in common? I said, both were situations where everybody thought it was over. And both were places where God displayed his glory. You better follow him and find out. I know when the Lord is speaking.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

I'm not moving. I am not moving to my next point.

[Steven Furtick]

It Would be a shame for you to let the shame of where you

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

came from

[Steven Furtick]

stop you from seeing the glory of who you came from. I have to show them. Verse 4 Bed. I have to show them. Verse verse 14 says, the word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. And we have seen his glory. The glory of the one and only Son who came from the Father. Can anything good come from Nazareth, Nazareth, Lazarus. Can anything good come from that? Well, it depends. Because before he came from Nazareth, he came from the Father. Everything God allowed to happen in your life passed through his hands and it has to go back through his hands. We have seen his glory. Now they say you have to see it to believe it. But back up to verse 12 John 1:12. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. See it circle the word believed. Justin believed in his name. Verse 14 again.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory.

[Steven Furtick]

Circle the word seen. Sometimes you have to see it to believe it. I get that. But sometimes you have to believe it to see it. See, if I don't believe that God is my provider, I won't see the provision. You get it? It's a complete inversion. That's why Jesus kingdom is upside down, but it's actually right side up because it's a complete inversion. The Gospel of John is not just about miracles. The Gospel of John is not just happy meals being fed to a crowd of 5,000. The gospel of John is not just water walking in storms. The Gospel of John is not just unique conversations. The Gospel of John is themed around belief. Belief in the Son of God, belief in Jesus, not just what he did, but who he is. It is the theme of the Gospel. Believe, believe, believe. He said to those who believe, you see the glory. So when you believe God is a provider, it opens your eyes to see provision you were walking past just the day before. If I remind you today that He's a provider, and if I force you by faith to follow him and find out in your next step of your life, you may see that he has already made the plan to provide for the thing you're praying about. He may have already worked out the situation that you are so we worried about. I have found it to be true that if I do not believe that he's my provider, I won't see the provision. Old Testament example. Let's do this class real quick. In 2 Kings 4, a woman came to Elisha. He was the prophet, said My husband is dead. I need you to help. I need you to provide for me. The prophet said back, what do you have in your house? How can I help you? She said, nothing except a jar of oil. What happened? The moment she believed, because the prophet said, you have something in your house. She could see what she was unable to see before she believed. When I believe that God is my provider, it opens my mind and opens my eyes to begin to consider some of the things he has given me in my life. That may be in seed form right now, but just because it's a seed doesn't mean it's not supply. Can I give you another example? If I don't believe that God has the power to do what I need him to do, I will not see his power operate.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

That's true.

[Steven Furtick]

Think about in the Old Testament, book

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

of Joshua, chapter six.

[Steven Furtick]

You see this group of people that has been marching around a wall in a city called Jericho for six days. On the last day, they march, they start shouting.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

You walk up to this army and say, what are y' all shouting about? Because you would expect to see something

[Steven Furtick]

they would be shouting about, but nothing has happened yet.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

They had to believe that the walls could fall. Shout in faith to find out. I said they had to shout to find out. You can figure out. You can count the walls. You could measure the walls. You could climb the walls. You could come up on the walls and pray over the walls and anoint the walls with oil. You could take a seminar about the walls and you could have a Bible class about the walls. But nothing is going to happen to those walls until you believe that they can fall. And the proof of your belief is in your shout. So when you shout. Look, I know not everybody shouts in church, and that's fine. You don't have to. You don't have to shout out loud in church to get the content and the substance of what I'm saying. But even when I preach. Okay, listen to me. Even when I preach, once in a while you ought to say amen. Every once in a while, when something hits you and you believe by faith, even if it's hard to hear. I used to have a preacher I sat under and he'd always say, if you can't say Amen, you ought to say, ouch. I have all these country preacher shenanigans. I could pull them out anytime. All these Baptist preacher shenanigans. One guy used to say, I don't preach for the praise of men.

[Steven Furtick]

Amen.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Amen.

[Steven Furtick]

Kind of ironic. Amen.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

I went to church one time with my dad. My dad was.

[Steven Furtick]

I think most of y' all know about my dad. He was kind of from a Nazareth situation. His dad committed suicide. He dealt with alcoholism, not only in his family, but in his own personal experience.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

His life was very rough as a boy. I won't tell you the story all over again because I know you come every week and you've got all my stories memorized.

[Steven Furtick]

But one time, my dad wanted me

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

to go to church with him. And he was so excited to go to church because the Lord turned his life around.

[Steven Furtick]

And we went out to this little

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

church in a place like Nazareth. Just a little town.

[Steven Furtick]

400 people lived in Nazareth, by the way. Well, there couldn't have been 400 people in this town. We pull up to the church, I'm like, what are you bringing me to? It is like independent Baptist fundamentalist. Just absolute condemnation turned up to level 11. Everybody was going to hell.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

The president was going to hell. The senator of the.

[Steven Furtick]

The state was going to hell.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Mickey Mouse was going to hell. Y' all remember when the Baptists hated Mickey Mouse for a minute?

[Steven Furtick]

It was a whole moment, cultural moment.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

He's yelling at everybody and he's preaching so hard, and everybody in the church is in, and everybody is saying amen. That's right. And preach it and all this stuff. One little boy, he couldn't have been more than eight years old, he stands up on the pew while the preacher is preaching, and he shouted something I never heard in my life. He didn't say amen. He didn't. He didn't say, praise the Lord. He didn't say, preach it. He hollers at the top of his lungs. This is what he says, let the wild hog eat my man. With a trademark shout. I don't know what it meant, but I felt it in my bones. I'm like, yes, let the wild hog eat indeed. Somebody shouts, shout amen. When you shout amen, realize what you're shouting means. So be it. When you shout amen, it doesn't mean preach. Pastor Steven, when you say amen, you're not talking to me at all. You're talking to the one the word came from. So when you say amen, you're saying, God, let it be like that in my life. God, what you just spoke to me. I don't care that my kid is on drugs. If you say they'll be saved, they'll be saved, so be it. Somebody shout amen. God, if you say, I'm coming out of this, I'm coming out of this, so be it. If you say the fire won't burn me, my clothes won't even smell like smoke, so be it. Shout Amen. I'm going to turn this into a Pentecostal church by the time it's all said and done. But it's not just going to be for the people who have an outward expressing personality. It's going to be for everybody who has been fighting against insecurity and fighting against lies and fighting against the enemy telling you that's all it's ever going to be. Nazareth. Can anything good come out of Nazareth? Well, if God says something good can come out of this, then amen to what he says. And let every man be a liar, because I got my own Amen. I love the words say amen. But if you want to take it to the next level, and you just might, then you can do what Jesus did in John 1:50.

[Steven Furtick]

You know, Nathaniel comes toward Jesus.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

I love Jesus because. Watch this.

[Steven Furtick]

He sees the best in me. I'm grateful that he knows the worst of me, but he sees the best in me. You can't say that about anybody else. Yes, I can. My mother, she doesn't know the worst. Not the worst. Not the worst. I'm not talking about what she caught you for when you were in 10th grade. I'm talking about what you still deal with. God knows that that was Nathanael's issue with Jesus. He said, how do you know me? I thought about doing an illustration, but I didn't have time to work it in advance, where I was just going to walk up to somebody random that I didn't know and start saying stuff about them. How's your daughter? Is she doing good over there at Samford University? How's that new Honda Civic treating you? Do you like it? I was going to find out from somebody else. I was going to walk down and there's no way I could know all this and just freak them out.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

And that's what it must have been

[Steven Furtick]

like for Nathaniel, because he's like, we'll see about this. Jesus of Nazareth. I never heard of Jesus from Nazareth. The Bible doesn't say Jesus going to come from Nazareth. He said he's going to come from Bethlehem. And I know my Bible. So he didn't come from Bethlehem. Well, he did come from Bethlehem. You just didn't dig deep enough. So now Nathanael has kind of a cynical or skeptical attitude. He's like, I have to see it to believe it. Show me this Jesus. Now. This is crazy. He's Like I have to see it to believe it. When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, how's that Honda Civic working out? How's your daughter doing there at Samford University?

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Here truly is an Israelite in whom

[Steven Furtick]

there is no deceit. He knew something about him that he shouldn't know.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Nathanael said, how do you know me?

[Steven Furtick]

Are you a stalker or a savior?

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Jesus answered, I saw you while you

[Steven Furtick]

were still under the fig tree. Before Philip called you, Before Philip called you, before. They called you, I knew you.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Oh, that's good news. I'm so glad God picked me before I was born, because after that he might not have wanted me. I've done some dumb stuff. So since then, I'm so glad he knit me together in my mother's womb. I'm so glad he chose me and

[Steven Furtick]

he saw me under my fig tree. Under the fig tree was a euphemism in Judaism. It wasn't a literal term. It meant when you meditated. You know how we might say, I'm in the lab? That doesn't mean you're a scientist. That just means I'm working on something. You know how you might say, I'm cooking? You're not really making spaghetti? You mean, I'm working on something under the fig tree was the way they would describe meditating under the fig tree. It could have been physical, too. But there is rabbinic evidence to suggest that Nathanael was meditating. And Jesus is saying, I know what you've been thinking about. In other words, I know what's in you. And Philip may have found you. Jesus says, but who do you think found Philip? This is the funniest thing I've ever seen in the Bible, y'.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

All.

[Steven Furtick]

I've been preaching at this church for 20 years. I preached for 10 years before that and I never laughed. Harder reading the Bible than I did this week. Did you see in verse 45 where it says, philip found Nathanael and told

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

him, we have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law?

[Steven Furtick]

I laughed when I saw that because he said, we have found the One. We found Jesus.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

But all you have to do is back up two verses to see why I laughed. The next day, Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip. How quick we forget that I didn't find him. Uh huh. I didn't choose him. He chose me. You want to know why I'm here today? Not because I found Jesus. The truth of the matter is, some of us weren't even looking, but he was. Some of us weren't even Seeking. But he was. Some of us didn't even want to come to church. But something made you come, didn't it? Why? Because you had to get this word. Philip didn't find Jesus. Jesus found Philip. And the same is true of me. My story is not the story of Stephen seeking Jesus. My story is Jesus sought Stephen. He found me. The reason that's good news is if I found him, that means I could lose him again. But if he found me. I said, if he found me, that means there's no valley too low, no mountain too high, no road too far, no Nazareth too small, no sin too great, no chain too strong, no grave too deep. He found me. That's why I'm happy. That's why I'm excited. That's why I'm confident. The psalmist said, in Psalm 27:13, I would have despaired unless I believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Check out the verse. I would have despaired, given up, quit, no hope unless I believe that I would see. You say see it to believe it. God says, believe it to see it. If you believe, the walls can fall. And if you shout while you're still staring at them, if you start declaring over my family, my family is blessed. I know everybody is acting dysfunctional right now, but my family is blessed. The roots are blessed. The branches are blessed. My body is blessed. My mind is blessed. Depressed but blessed. Stressed, but blessed. Confused. He sees you under the fig tree. He sees what you're crying about. He sees what you're confused about. And he calls you anyway.

[Steven Furtick]

And he calls you while you are still under the fig tree. He told Philip, come and see. And he told Nathanael, Nathanael, you think me seeing you under that tree is a reason to believe? Nathanael, you haven't seen nothing. Think about all the things Jesus could have said. I'm not done yet. Think about all the things Jesus could have said to Nathaniel. He could have said when Nathanael came. Look at it in verse 47, Jack. He could have said, he saw I'm approaching.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

He knows.

[Steven Furtick]

He just talked bad about Nazareth. That's his hometown, y'.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

All.

[Steven Furtick]

He could have said, oh, here he comes.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Ol Nathaniel. That doesn't Old Negative Nate. Aren't you glad he sees the vest in you? He could say, oh, messed up Matt,

[Steven Furtick]

but he doesn't see messed up. He sees miracle. I don't know who I'm preaching to, but he called you while you were still under the fig tree. He called you right in the middle of the messed up mind. He called you right in the middle of the messed up Nazareth. Can anything good come from Nazareth? Follow me and find out. That's what he's saying. He doesn't call him negative. Nathaniel, you know how we nickname the Bible characters according to their absolute lowest point? Doubting Thomas. What do you mean, doubting Thomas? Thomas said, I'll go and die with you. Doubting Thomas. More like honest Thomas. If we could read your mind, if we could get under your fig tree. Everything else going up under there ain't that good either. By the way, I just felt the Lord drop this in my spirit, so I'll say it. Some of you need to remember this. Who are raising kids who are lost right now. The Lord knows where to find them. He found you, didn't he? He found you. That's why I called the sermon Seeking Jesus. Because I realized I'm not really the one seeking. He is. He is the seeking Jesus. Not just the saving Jesus, not just the healing Jesus. He's the seeking Jesus. He's looking for one who is lost. And he'll leave 99 to get them. A lady came up to me the other day and I brought one. She gave me a little Jesus. You can't even see that, can you? I said, that's nice. Thank you. I said, what am I supposed to do with this? She said, no, just for the love. It's cute. And I'm like, it is cute. Thank you. I'm not hating on this, but something about it. Something about mini Jesus. Then she told me, she goes, they're cool. You can hide them different places and people can find them. I was preparing this message, thinking that's how we think about him sometimes. Oh, isn't that wonderful? Well, let me remind you what to think of when you look at it. Remember, every time you pick it up, remember, this is just a reminder that I'm not holding him. He's holding them. I'm not interested in shrinking Jesus down to where I think. See, when my life really runs up on the types of battles I have to fight as a grown man,

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

I

[Steven Furtick]

don't need many Jesus. I need a mighty Jesus.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

You haven't seen nothing yet, Nathanael. Do you think that's something he says in verse 51?

[Steven Furtick]

He says, verily or truthfully, I tell you the truth.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

You will see heaven open. You will see angels ascending and descending on the Son of Man. He's prophesying from Jacob in the book of Genesis, but he's prophesying about the Cross. He's prophesying about salvation. He's saying, you see nothing yet. Put it back up. Verily I say unto you, the King James says, very truly, I tell you. You'll need the original language to really get this in the original language. He doesn't say, very truly, I tell you, no.

[Steven Furtick]

He says, amen.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Amen. He says it twice, 25 times in

[Steven Furtick]

the Gospel of John.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

Not in Matthew, not in Luke, not in Mark. In John alone, Jesus is recorded 25 times. He says amen and then he says it again. Now let's break this down. He said, very truly, I say to you, you haven't seen nothing yet, Nathaniel. You are only getting started. Do you want to see what it looks like to walk by faith? Follow me and find out. Follow me with questions. Follow me with doubts. Follow me with impurities. I'll work them out. Follow me with sin. I'll wash it away. Follow me. Just seek me for who I really am. Just follow me and you will find out. Amen. Amen. I tell you, you will see heaven open. But what is interesting about amen in this culture is not just that he said it twice. It's that he said it for himself. Normally when someone makes a statement of truth, someone who is listening will say Amen in response. But when Jesus. I'm going to put this one up here with you, lj.

[Steven Furtick]

I don't need them right now.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

When my great big water walking Jesus, when he speaks a thing, he doesn't wait to find out if you agree. If he speaks, said it, that settles it. Somebody shout Amen. He said, I'm healed. He said, I'm free. He said, I'm forgiven. He said, I'm righteous. He said, I'm cleansed. He said, it's good, it is final. It is finished. It is settled. It is written. Amen. Amen again. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. High five. Three people say Amen and Amen. Amen and Amen. Amen and amen. Amen and Amen. I have something for you lo watch this. Not only did he say it twice, which means it's a covenant. Not only did he say it for himself, which means he'll fulfill it. He said it by before the truth. He spoke when he said it. Because Jesus doesn't need to wait for the Amen. He is the Amen of God. In the beginning. Where's my band? Was the Word. And the Word was with God. And the Word was God. He said Amen. Whatever comes after it is true. He said Amen. Nothing can cancel it he said, amen. It's as good as done. So be it. Amen. The first words of John's gospel are in the beginning, the last words. John writes in Revelation 22:21 on the island of Patmos, the grace of the

[Steven Furtick]

Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen. If you believe, you will see Jesus. Not little Jesus, you will see King Jesus.

[LJ (Co-host or Worship Leader)]

I want to start a series today called See King Jesus. The one who was and is and is to come. So be it. And Amen. When the king speaks a word, it cannot be overturned. I need the whole church to receive this song. You stand up right where you are and you throw your hands in the air right now and you say amen to God. Amen. I'm not waiting until it's over now to say Amen. God. I come into agreement with you right now. In the beginning was the Word and in the end is the Amen. I'm starting with an Amen. I'm starting with the one who called me. Because when the king speaks the word, So get the liars out of the way. Every word he speaks. Yes, and amen. So celebrate the victory, Nathaniel. Alone you will see greater things. Amen. So be it. Hallelujah to the Alpha Omega. That's who I'm seeking. My testimony is done it. So be in God. The weapons of the enemy. They have no power over me, no weapon. The one with all authority covers me. So be it God. So be it. So be it God. So be it God. Come on, let's go there. You got to believe it to see it. Stop doubting and a le see the crown that is dead prophesied that it was not the end. Wipe your tears from your eyes. Don't forget you will see greater things than me. Believe in. The we have no power over me. The glory. Say amen again. Let's go Elevate the time. In his spirit. Amen. Silence.
