New Birth | John 3:1-21
New Birth | Jesus continues the early stages of His ministry by having a night time conversation with a curious Pharisee, Nicodomus. Though Nicodumus is an expert in the Hebrew Scriptures, Jesus teaches him that all people are born evil and must be born again in order to enter the kingdom of God. Jesus reveals this is why God sent Him into the world, to save all those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God. This passage is incredibly important for accurately diagnosing the true problem of sin and the true nature of salvation.

The Testimony Of John The Baptist | John 1:19-34
The Testimony Of John The Baptist | In this sermon we will be studying John 1:19-34, discussing the testimony of John the Baptist. John’s role was to prepare the way for Jesus, the messiah, who takes away the sins of the world. The point of his life was not to glorify himself, but to direct glory to another. This week we will be faced with a similar question as John: who/what are you directing attention to? Is your life about you, or is the ultimate aim of your life about directing glory to another, mainly Jesus?
The Word Became Flesh | John 1:1-18
The Word Became Flesh | In in the next sermon we will learn who Jesus really is: the eternal God from the beginning, through whom all was created, and who came into the world making God known and giving spiritual birth to all who receive Him. While many people have an idea of who Jesus is, we hope by looking at John 1:1-18 that our misunderstandings will be confronted, truth about our God will be embraced, and transformation will occur.
