    Nicodemus had been offered a glimpse of the Kingdom of God, but what he decided next would impact his eternity.

    Introduction: I. John began his gospel with these words, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the ...read more

    There can be no spiritual journey or rightful claim to Christianity without first having a personal encounter with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

    WE DETERMINE IF CHRISTIANITY BECOMES DEFINED AS EITHER RELGION OR RELATIONSHIP. THE DEFINING FACTOR OF WHAT CHRISTIANITY BECOMES IS BASED SOLELY ON WHERE WE DECIDE TO PUT JESUS IN OUR LIFE. SO, JUST HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN? WHAT CRITERIA WOULD YOU SAY NEEDS TO BE MET ...read more

    How do we enter the Kingdom? Many who think they know, do not know.

    The story of Nicodemus is one of the best known stories of the Bible, and it comes to a close with one of the most often quoted passages in the Bible, John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” ...read more

    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

    New Life For A Dead Man

    Contributed by Johnny Carver on Apr 28, 2007
    based on 6 ratings
     | 2,558 views

    This sermon deals with the born again experience which seems to have lost its place among much of the sermons of our day. Because there seems to be such a need for the "help" type of preaching for the troubled lives of church attenders.

    Scripture: John 3:1 – Title: “NEW LIFE FOR A DEAD MAN” Introduction: The title of the message may sound a little shocking, but it couldn’t be truer. In 2:23 we are told that the people’s faith had been awakened by the miracles they saw Jesus perform. In the last few verses of chapter 2 we are ...read more

    God gives us his Holy Spirit to enable us to be renewed and begin life again as children of God.

    A Pharisee, a leader of the Jews, came to see Jesus by night. We’re not told why he came. His opening statement might indicate a curiosity about who Jesus really is. But then, it might also be simply the opening statement that precedes some sort of accusation or put down. "We know that you are a ...read more
