     | 5,578 views

    This sermon looks at Nicodemus’ ignorance as a religious leader as a springboard for teaching the necessity of the new birth.

    Introduction: One of my favourite stories is of a new pastor was asked to teach a boys class in the absence of their regular Sunday School teacher. He decided at the outset to see what the boys knew and so he asked little Johnny during Bible class who broke down the walls of Jericho. Little Johnny ...read more

    Discipline isn’t fun. It isn’t fun to receive it and it isn’t fun to give it out. But the fact is that discipline is necessary. Are you in need of a cleansing today? How will you react when it comes?

    “This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you.” How many of you have ever used that line on your kids? I remember when I got that line used on me. I didn’t believe it for one minute. As a matter of fact, I didn’t believe it until I had my own kids and used that line on them. Don’t you hate ...read more

    Many people believe Jesus for the things that He does. That’s not the kind of belief that Jesus is looking for.

    Several years ago a famous liberal named Norman Cousins wrote an editorial for a magazine called the Saturday Review. Understand that he was no friend to Christianity when he wrote this. But what he wrote was true and should convict us all. He wrote about a conversation he had on a trip to India ...read more

    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

    How can these things be? That was the question Nicodemus asked Jesus in our passage today. Do you ever find yourself asking that question?

    A few weeks ago, when we looked at 2:23-25, I titled the sermon, “Belief That Isn’t.” This morning, I’m using the title, “Belief That Is.” Before John introduced us to the person of Nicodemus in chapter 3, he took just a few verses to describe the vast majority of people who were around Jesus at ...read more

    God’s love has two sides—salvation / judgment… life / death… redemption / righteousness. He loves with a purpose—salvation. He loves with a consequence—judgment.

    What was the first memory verse you ever learned? For most of us, it was John 3:16. I have a set of 6 books at the house that I bought a few years ago. They are by a man named Carl F.H. Henry. When Carl Henry died in 2003, the New York times called him the brain of the evangelical movement. ...read more

    Here in what is called the Gospel in a verse we find that God also has a Christmas list. This list was purchased with the precious blood of Jesus the perfect gift.

    Intro: Everyone has a list for Christmas. Here in John 3.16 we see Jesus tell Nicodemus that he must be born again in order to see the Kingdom of God. In this wonderful verse called the Little Gospel we see God’s shopping list for all those who would receive the gift of His Son Jesus. Why did ...read more

    Just as Christ illuminates the entire world, He illuminates our souls; salvation is personal; Christ came for each of us.

    Light of the World, John 3:16-21 Introduction The famed Congregational Preacher, Dwight L. Moody, once said, “The great trouble is that people take everything in general, and do not take it to themselves.

    The joy of Christmas and the rest of the year is discovered in Jesus. He is the only source that can produce lasting joy in our lives. Joy is a choice and it centers on our willingness to choose to surrender ourselves to Jesus or not.

    This message aims through Scriptural interpretation, illustration and a communication model to inform the listener to "listen" with a framework of love and care.

    LISTEN TO LOVE Less talk, more communication "For the measure you measure with will be measured back to you" (Luke 6:38) 1.

    The love of God is unconditional. We cannot act like Nicodemus and come to Jesus in the night. We must surrender our whole life to Him.

    The unconditional love of God John 3:1-22 Introduction- Text: John 3:1-22 Read People live today by falling in and out of love. There is no commitment. They do not love “Till death do us part”. They love “till I find someone better”. True love is a ...read more
