    How do you like this time of the year? Shopping center parking lots clogged with car headlights like a starry night sky in the country.

     | 3,427 views

    Salvation is more than words or concepts. Understanding salvation is a matter of experiencing it.

    I. Today I have a new sermon, but I have an old message-- the message of salvation. Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus - where, he says to Nicodemus— "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." II.

    I need not be afraid though all hell should break loose. Why? Because “God’s Spirit doesn’t make cowards out of us. The Spirit gives us power, love, and self-control” (2 Timothy 1:7, CEV).

Some people have interpreted the story as giving us a lesson about needing to take risks in life. One preacher made that the topic of his ...read more
