    Jesus tells Nicodemus of the new birth.

    If you’ve ever taught a class, there is one kind of student that can absolutely drive you crazy. And it seems like there’s one in every crowd. That’s the person who has an answer for everything. I got a kick out of a couple of the kids during the youth rally who were like that. In the very ...read more

    In this lesson I cover the context of John 3:16, explaining the meeting between Jesus and Nicodemus. I address being born again, and the significance of John 3:16.

    A. Most of us are familiar with JOHN 3:16. 1. We see that word and those numbers can see it displayed in many places – especially at sporting events where the sign may be seen by many people. 2. Look at the four pictures on the screen. a. The first is of a young man with a John 3:16 sign ...read more

    Nicodemus wanted to come to Christ on His terms but Jesus reveal who He really was.

    We have his disconnect in our society is that we attach what we do to how good we are. The more we do the better we are, and if sometimes we transgress, well we can just make that up. Our good works become a barrier to God. Some people seek religions that do this, some people create their own ...read more

    What are the signs of a person who is "born again"?

    Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin, who, according to the Gospel of John, showed favour to Jesus. He appears three times in the plot: the first is when he visits Jesus one night to listen to his teachings (John 3:1-21); the second is when he states the law concerning the arrest ...read more

He had arrived a bit early so he decided to finish a letter he was writing and get it in the mail. He finished the ...read more
