Let us pray…as we come before you this morning, we come with hearts full of your love but also full of anxiety, angst, and wonder about what is happening in this world. We ask that in the coming moments that your spirit would enter our hearts, minds, and spirits that we would be able to feel, sense,…

Today we are picking up our study of the Gospel of John in chapter 3. This is probably one of the most popular sections in the whole Bible. It is the meeting of Nicodemus with Jesus. It is the portion of scripture where we find the expression, “Born-again”. The big question today is, “What does it mean…

Born and born again (new birth) A biblical imperative given by Jesus of the necessity of being born again. 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” 4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot…

Can you relate with this situation? You are out on door to door evangelism. You are walking down a sidewalk up to the front door of the next house in line and as you head up to the door you get a sinking feeling in your stomach. What are you thinking in the back of your mind? “I hope no one answers the…

Many will not come to Jesus because their deeds were evil. Let's consider evil for a minute.

Our Evana Network Regional Pastor Don Patterson preached the context of John 3:16

Many focus on the two most famous passages from this section of cripture; John 3:3 (born again) and John 3:16 (for GOd so loved the world) We are going to linger with Nicodemus, his searching out Jesus in the dark of night, his probing questions "How can these things be?" His and our lack of understanding Jesus' message.

Early in his ministry, Jesus is questioned about the Kingdom of Heaven by one of the Pharisees, Nicodemus. In response to his questions he explains how no one can enter the Kingdom without being born again. But what does that mean? Graham unpacks this foundational concept.

The Pharisees were a group of religious leaders that held the people in bondage. Jesus came an disrupted their entire religious system. Late one night, a Pharisee named Nicodemus met with Jesus. He had questions and Jesus had the answers. Since then, Jesus has continued to disrupt every religious system we build.

How well do you understand what it means to be born again, and how well can you communicate it to those you encounter?

Jesus has his own schedule in everything. He is good and kind and trustworthy and faithful. And He does whatever He pleases. He really does care for us, even in the seemingly small things. We may bring our request to Him at any time. Mary's final words are continually apropos, 'Whatever He says to you, do it!'. They are wise who abide in His Word. Jesus assures Nicodemus that the prophecies of Ezekiel are true and that God will give new Birth, a Birth that is from above, a Birth through His Spirit. A supernatural birth. Jesus is ready and able to rescue any who come to Him... alas, too many abide in condemnation, in wrath, for they love darkness and will not come into the light. Dear friend, if you haven't yet, please come into the light that you might have everlasting life in Him, life in He who is True Light. He has so loved the world. These thoughts shared by Jason Stuart Percy at Refuge TLH in Tallahassee, FL on Sunday, November 21, 2021.

As you see Jesue lifed up, faith replaces fear

This morning's sermon is going to have a different feel. The actual passage we are reading is only five verses. But these five verses build on a few other passages in the Gospel of John. And what these verses will help us do, is get a sense of the book as a whole. I'm hoping, after this morning, that…
