Sermon: Come and See, then Do

Come and See, then Do

John 1:29-42

Visiting: St. Paul’s, Lansing

The Rt. Rev. Dr. Bonnie A. Perry

January 18, 2026 MLK Weekend

“Our faith cannot be, and Christianity cannot be a head game:  solely an intellectual pursuit.  Instead, we need to invest all of ourselves, we need to get up, change our patterns and walk on down the road with him. For Jesus Christ is embodied and incarnated. Our faith is not a sideline, spectator sport.  Our God is not a removed pundit offering theological insights perched in a skybox on high, delivering play by play color commentary. Our God is with us—Emmanuel. “
