The Whisper Weve Always Known

Jan 18, 2026    Pastor Matt Every

This powerful message invites us into the transformative truth that we were known and called by God before we even took our first breath. Drawing from John 1:29-42, we encounter Andrew's simple yet profound invitation to his brother Simon: 'Come and see.' These three words carry revolutionary weight in our current age of division and isolation. The sermon reminds us that Andrew didn't argue, didn't demand agreement, didn't present a theological thesis—he simply invited his brother into an experience based on their relationship. This passage challenges us to reconsider how we engage with those who think differently than we do. The message weaves together Isaiah's understanding of being called from the womb with Paul's approach to the divided Corinthian church, showing us that relationship must come before disagreement. We're reminded that our original nature isn't isolation or ideological purity, but connection to God and to each other. In a world where families can't share meals over political differences and friendships dissolve over social media posts, we're called to something radically different: staying in relationship even when it's hard, loving across difference, and remembering that we belong to each other before we belong to any party or position.
