Podcasts about John 3

Send me a Text Message!In John 3, a man comes to Jesus looking for something more. He sensed in his spirit that Jesus might show him the way to something more. But Jesus' words confused him just a bit. Jesus said, if you want something more, "You must be born again." What in the world does that mean? It means that in Jesus, God offers us something more that's so radically different that it's like being born all over again; like starting over and being delivered into a whole new world, for a whole new life. It's not just more of the same old, same old. It's not just like before only better. It's not cosmetic or marginal; you are on your way to a breathtaking,  supernatural, eternally new life. Are you looking for something more?

The Father, in unimaginable love, sent His only begotten Son so that we might be saved from condemnation and have eternal life. 

What does it truly mean to be born of water and the Spirit? Jesus continues His conversation with Nicodemus in John 3:5–10, revealing that entry into God's kingdom requires more than knowledge or tradition—it requires spiritual rebirth. We explore the meaning of Jesus' words, the role of the Holy Spirit, and how this new birth transforms the heart and life of every believer.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

The opening chapter of John's Gospel says that Jesus “came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe” (1:9), and Jesus himself said he came “to seek out and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). It's a good reminder that every Christian's mission should be to introduce as many unbelievers as possible to Jesus. The overwhelming majority of non-Christians are closer to Christ than you might think, and all it takes is one real encounter with Jesus to change everything. In this series we'll explore four unique conversations that Jesus had with everyday people - a young fisherman, a middle-aged mother, a religious elder, and a woman with a sordid past - and we'll see how one interaction with Jesus can change a life forever.

John's Gospel: Who Do You Say I AM? – Week 3 Ted Coniaris | John 3:1–21In John 3, Jesus meets Nicodemus—a respected religious leader—and invites him into something completely unexpected: a new birth and a new life.In this message, Pastor Ted Coniaris unpacks Jesus' words about being “born again,” revealing that spiritual transformation isn't something we achieve—it's something God does in us. Through powerful imagery of light, rebirth, and surrender, we're reminded that eternal life isn't just a future promise, but a present relationship with Jesus.This teaching calls us to step out of the darkness, release our striving, and receive the life the Spirit freely gives.Discover more and take your next step at communitychristian.org

Our reading today is John 3:1-21 ... and it contains within it what is probably the most famous of all biblical verses, John 3:16–for God so loved the world. We find the verse in a story about a man who is drawn to Jesus and seeks him out, but struggles mightily-almost comically-to understand what he's saying.How do the story and the verse each help us to read the other more fully? What do love, and truth telling, and eternal life have to do with one another? And what does any of this have to do with that story about Moses and the snakes?

All those who believe in the Son of Man who was lifted up will have eternal life. 

God's unfathomable redeeming love is demonstrated in the gift of His Son. Preached on January 18, 2026

This week's message takes us into one of the most profound conversations in Scripture: Jesus meeting with Nicodemus under the cover of night. Here was a man who thought he knew everything about God—a religious leader, a Pharisee, someone steeped in moral living and theological knowledge. Yet Jesus tells him something startling: none of it is enough. We must be born again. This isn't about adding a little spiritual polish to our existing lives or filling in some gaps with religious activity. It's about a complete transformation, a radical internal renewal by the Holy Spirit that changes everything—our identity, our loves, our values, our very being. The sermon draws on the prophet Ezekiel's vision of dry bones coming to life, reminding us that what God offers isn't improvement but resurrection. We're challenged to examine what truly defines us: Is it our career, our relationships, our status? Or have we allowed God's love in Christ to reorder our affections so that our primary identity is as beloved children of God? The beautiful truth is that God didn't come to condemn us but to save us—not just from the penalty of sin, but to transform us daily into the image of Jesus. This is both terrifying and liberating: we must die to ourselves to truly live.

In this episode of The Gospel of John, we reflect on John 3:2–4 and Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus—a man full of knowledge, yet still searching. Jesus points him to a deeper truth: real life begins with spiritual rebirth, not religious effort. “Born Again” invites us to look beyond what we know about God and consider the transformation only Christ can bring. Join us as we explore the call to new life and the grace that makes it possible.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

john 3

John 3:1-8Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]”4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!”5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.' 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
