out of the camp to meet God

"Inviting: How to Be an Andrew" {John1:35-42}
* Excitement a process; surrender always difficult
* Josh24:15
* Jealous God -- wants all our attention
- We must choose twixt Him and world
- We must choose twixt His will and our will
* Andrew's characteristics
- Name: "Man"
- Notoriety: Obscure. Known more as another's brother (Peter) than own deeds.
- God looking for people who will bring others to Him
* Andrew's conversion
- God used a respected associate
- God used a relational approach
* Andrew's primary concern? Reaching out. (v41)
* Lessons from Andrew
- God uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways
- All can't teach, preach, evangelize, et al, but all can invite
- Trust has impact in context of relationships
