John
Jesus' miraculous signs at Cana and in Jerusalem created faith.
Themes of resurrection in the gospel of John. Jesus died like a helpless lamb but He was raised like a powerful lion (Rev 5:5-6).
Nicodemus interviews Jesus at night: a) Experience the New birth - born of water and the Spirit (3:3 & 5) b) Receive the New life - Believe in Jesus (3:16). c) Live in God's light (v.19-21).
It is more blessed to give than to receive. God loves others through us. Pastor Pete from the Huntington City Mission joins Jeff for this sermon.
Jesus was persecuted for breaking legalistic rules (5:1-16) but He used it as an opportunity to expose legalism and reveal His identity (5:17-47).
