Title: No Publicity Stunt-Missing God in Plain Sight (1)
Series: Bet the Farm on it
Author: Scott Maze
Text: John 7:1-36
Have you heard someone say, "I wouldn't bet the farm on that if I were you?" There are a lot you cannot of people you cannot count on. But there's one you can bet the farm on, and His name is Jesus.
Find John 7 with me, if you will.
Jesus finds Himself poked and prodded by the public in every way. The Jesus we see in John 7 must defend Himself and define Himself on many fronts.1 In our story, people are seeking to kill Jesus, and no one wants to be publicly connected to Him. Still, there is a lot of curiosity surrounding Him. People are still curious about the controversial figure Jesus to this day.
Muslim Iman Conversion
In recent weeks, a Muslim Iman found believers in and around central India. The religious leader began to ask questions about following Jesus. After talking with American believers, the young Iman had a dream where a respected elder Iman told him everything he believed had no purpose. After hours of deep conversation about Jesus Christ and hours of Bible reading with believers, the Muslim Iman embraced Jesus Christ by faith at tremendous risk to himself. When this young Iman's sister found a New Testament in his room, she reported this to their father, who also was an Iman. His family gave him a really hard time. But he continues to pursue the Lord Jesus Christ by reading God's Word.
Would you pray for this young believer with me?

There's a trilemma that I want to show you that has helped thousands of people. A what? A trilemma to the question, "Who is Jesus Christ" ?. But there's a wrinkle to this age-old question: Are you really capable of deciding? Jesus warns us to be aware of our bias in our investigation.
