    what Jesus taught Nicodemus about being born again

    Intro: there is an old saying, “ if I knew then what I know now, things would be so different.” This saying conveys the thought, if I could live my life over how different it would be.

    This sermon deals with how far we have come from our Founding Fathers’ original intentions for this great nation and how we are balancing on the threshold of judgment.

    America: A Nation Lost I love the United States; it has been my pride and my joy since my youth. I am proud to be an American. Though, I cannot help but be very troubled over the path America has chosen in regards to its founding and the men who fought and bled for our independence. Many ...read more

    We are born into the kingdom or God, and like babies in the natural our Father God expects us to grow up.

    There was a group of tourists who were visiting a picturesque village and came upon an old man sitting beside a fence. In a rather patronizing way, one of the tourist asked, “Were any great men born in this village?” The old man replied, “Nope, only babies.” Very true, only Adam and Eve did not ...read more

    Christ explains the way into his kingdom to Nicodemus.

    In the days of the New Testament there were three levels of teacher in the Jewish community, the ḥâḵâm, the sôpçr and the ḥazzân. These levels were obtained not on the basis of academics but on the basis of morality in the person’s life. Nicodemus is thought to be of the highest ...read more

    Jesus was visited by Nicodemus, who learns of the essential need to be born again. What does it mean to be ’born again’ What about us?

    Nicodemus was an expert. He was a religious expert. He knew what made for good religion, and he knew it all. His way of life, like many other of the Pharisees was pretty comfortable. He was respected and he’d even made it on to the ruling council. Life couldn’t get better. He was the ideal ...read more

In the New Testament Reading we saw how Jesus healed Ten lepers, and only one returned to say thank you - that happened 2,000 years ago. This morning I want to bring ...read more

     | 15,034 views

    Preached at a rescue mission; everyone needs a fresh start when we mess up on life-building. It’s not enough to feel guilty, not enough to blame others, not even enough to get new skills. We need the help of the Master Carpenter.

    I don’t know anybody who doesn’t need, from time to time, a fresh start. No matter who you are, no matter where you have been, no matter what you are trying to do, you just need, sometimes a fresh start, a new beginning. Trying to fix things the way they are won’t work; you need sometimes to ...read more
