     | 3,594 views

    Nicodemus and Jesus have a conversation in which Jesus answers the most important question a person can have: how can I have eternal life and enter the Heavenly Kingdom of God?

    Questions Concerning the Kingdom: John 3:4-8 We all have questions and concerns about the things that are “unseen” in this world, and by far, the mystery of entering the Kingdom of God is of eternal, crucial and the utmost importance.

    One Died So That Many Could Live

    Contributed by Scott Jensen on Mar 15, 2015
     | 6,305 views

    The central message of John 3:16 can be compared to the donation of life giving organs. The donation requires a life, one life sacrificed can provide for several lives, there is no way to say thank-you for such a gift. John 3:16 is very similar.

    Introduction This morning, we look at the shortest possible description of the whole Gospel. John 3:16 is a marvelous passage beloved by so many. Luther referred to it as the Gospel, within the Gospel, or, the Gospel within a nutshell. And such it is. This short verse of less than thirty words ...read more

     | 4,622 views

    If we are meek, if we are gentle, then we are God controlled. We will have to be considerate to people, and we will also be considerate toward God.

    Gentleness and meekness are basically the same. Why aren’t some people gentle? There are some who say things that set you on edge, & you’re convinced that they enjoy doing it? They come into your home & say, "Where did you find that wall-paper?" And it’s obvious that ...read more
