Everyday Bible Conversations!

EBC 3, 2, 1! – On Location in 2026! Leading to Worship Sunday, January 18, 2026 

Reading: John 1:29-42 

EBC focuses on bringing the Bible into our Everyday Lives, emphasizing God’s Everyday presence by finding connections in our physical world! This week, we visit Andrew, as he turns from one path, and discovers “whose he is” along another! Click here: 2026 Week 3 

Welcome to this week’s EBC 3,2,1! Three points, two questions, and one action step! 

Three Points

  In this passage of John, we pick up from Jesus’ baptism, with John telling the crowd that Jesus is the “Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29) John recounts what he had seen – the Holy Spirit descending on Jesus like a dove.

  The next day, John is with two of John’s disciples. John again proclaims Jesus as the Lamb of God. The two disciples, one of whom was Andrew, hear John, and follow Jesus. When Jesus notices them, they ask to see where he is staying, and he invites them to “come and see.” (John 1:39)

  Andrew also goes to find his brother Simon (whom Jesus will rename Peter) and proclaims, “we have found the Messiah.” (John 1:41) And Andrew brings Simon to Jesus. 

Two Questions

  John referred to Jesus as “the Lamb of God.” Now that we know of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, what do you think that means? What do you think those hearing John’s words thought they meant at the time? Was John drawing on Passover? On Abraham? Something else? All of the above?

  What was Andrew’s “first” act as a new disciple of Jesus? Did Andrew go tell Simon about Jesus for Andrew’s own sake? For Simon’s sake? For Jesus’ sake? Do you see how, in proclaiming his faith of the new-found Messiah, Andrew served himself, Simon, and God, all at the same time? 

Action Step

  Take a step more fully toward Jesus this week. And invite someone else – in words or deeds – to do the same.

Don’t like these questions? Do these verses say something different to you? Great! What is it?

And as always, you are encouraged to find a friend (or two or many) and take an EBC coffee break! Find 15-25 minutes somewhere in the week and share your faith. Have fun finding God this week in your Everyday Life!
