TOPIC: Great Things Can Still Come Out Of Nazareth
OPENING PRAYER: Father, let great things come out of our Nazareth.
PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE: Leaders should ask members why Christians or believers still find themselves in the act of disobedience just like lot’s wife.
MEMORY VERSE: “And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.” – John 1:46
BIBLE TEXT: John 1:45-49 (KJV)
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: After the death of Samson as Nazarene in Judge 16:31, Nazareth became byword. The statement of Nathanael in today’s memory verse is a pointer to this fact. However, when His (Jesus) parents bought Him back from Egypt, they settled in Nazareth, Matthew 2:23. On this note, Jesus Christ became a Nazarene and Nazareth was prominent again. Even if there is nothing to write home about you, your family or town, from now on Phillip’s response to Nathanael “Come and see”; greatness will be your portion.

LESSON OUTLINES:
TOWNS OR CITIES THAT WERE NOT RECKONED WITHOUT BEENGOD MADE THEM GREAT.
- BETHLEHEM: “And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.”. Matthew 2:6
- SAMARIA: John 4:49-40, Acts 8:5-8; “And there was a great joy in that city”. Acts8:8.
- ZION: 2 Sam.6-7 “Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David” 2 Sam.5:7″.
WHAT HAVE BROUGHT THE CHANGES?
The above cities and towns that had positive turn around had contact with the destiny Changer Himself – Jesus Christ. while others received changes because the people whose destinies were transformed went back to the place. Joshua 1:3 “Every place that the sole of your foot shall trend upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses”.
ACTIVITY: Discuss the great changes that can come out of our Nazareth.
SUMMARY: Great things will come out of our Nazareth.
CONCLUSION: No city or town that associates itself with Christ can end up in crisis. Therefore, like Nazareth that received the Lord Jesus Christ. Any city or town that allows Christ into their land through the Gospel being preached to them, GREAT THINGS WILL BE FOUND THERE.
PRAYER POINTS:
- Father, let there be light in our villages, town and cities in Jesus’ mighty name.
- Father, please let there be great turn around in our communities from now on, in Jesus’ mighty name.
- Father, like you prayed for Peter, pray for Daddy and Mummy G.O. in Jesus’ mighty name.
