Do You Believe that “He {God} gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life”? MESSAGE SUMMARY:  You have got to believe; but until you get your thinking right, your life will not change – you have got to believe! It is hard for some people, today, to believe in the miraculous birth of Jesus celebrated on Christmas day. Ok, just start where you are in what you believe. Can you believe that you are a sinner? Can you believe that you are not perfect? Can you believe that you have violated God's laws? Despite this life background, can you believe that God loves you just as you now are? Can you believe that God sent His Only Son, Jesus, to save all that believe in Him so that you would not perish but have eternal life? Maybe this is where you start in believing in the miraculous birth of Jesus; you need to start where you are. Jesus' life was defined by His death on the cross and by His resurrection, thereby, living up to the translation of His name, Jesus – “Salvation”. The Apostle John succinctly summarized the purpose of Jesus birth in John3:16-17: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, fill me with the simple trust that even out of the most awful evil around me, you are able to bring great good — for me, for others, and for your great glory. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 91). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because I am in Jesus Christ, I will entrust to Him my future. I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.  From 2 Timothy 1:12  SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): John 1:1-18; Luke 1:27-38; Luke 2:1-22; John 20:27-29; Psalms 69b:13-24.

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus, our teacher, into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus irresistible, fascinating, and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his scripture. Today's episode is found in John 3 "Not To Condemn."

The final witness of John the Baptist points unmistakably to the supremacy of Christ. Centered on John 3:31–36, this message from the Gospel of John reveals the authority of the One who comes from heaven and the life found in believing Him—while warning of the weight of rejecting His testimony. A powerful conclusion to the Baptist's faithful witness.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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.

Pastor Andrew Lovette and Pastor Ian Thomas talk with Pastor Josh Hughes about his sermon on Sunday at TKC on John 3:16–21. They discuss John's themes of light and life, what “eternal life” means in John 17 (knowing God and Jesus), and how Lent and Ash Wednesday highlight our perishable lives and need for rescue. They also explore “condemned already,” why people love darkness rather than light, and how good works show God at work. Josh closes with continuing a story from his Sunday sermon about a young girl in foster care.⁠Mere Christian Hermeneutics ⁠- https://www.amazon.com/Mere-Christian-Hermeneutics-Transfiguring-Theologically/dp/0310234387

Message title: Mindset for MinistryBig Idea: Ministry is messy, so mindset matters.

Ever wonder why Nicodemus can't seem to understand the teachings of Jesus? Today, Peter Walsh, Elizabeth Garnsey, and John Kennedy come to his defense and explain why he is one of the most underrated men in the Bible. Plus, they discuss what it's like to encounter different beliefs that challenge our black and white thinking, why John 3:16 is more than "stadium theology", and how this story reminds us to walk alongside those who are wrestling with their faith.Questions for Further Discussion:Themes and ApplicationWhy do you think Nicodemus comes to Jesus at night? Is it fear, curiosity, spiritual darkness, rabbinical custom, or all of the above?How does this passage challenge “stadium theology” readings of John 3:16?How might this passage reshape how we think about conversion as a process rather than a one-time event?Personal ReflectionWhen have you felt like Nicodemus—curious but confused, drawn but uncertain?What beliefs or frameworks have you had to release in order to deepen your faith?What would it mean for you to “persist in your folly” long enough to grow wise?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsJohn's Gospel moves Nicodemus from night (chapter 3), to public defense (chapter 7), to courageous devotion at the cross (chapter 19). What does this progression teach us about spiritual maturation?How do different traditions interpret “born again”? Where have interpretations become weaponized?If, as Karl Rahner suggested, “the Christian of the future will be a mystic or will not exist at all,” what might that mean for clergy and congregations today?Learn more about St. Mark's at https://www.stmarksnewcanaan.org

In John 3, Nicodemus comes to Jesus at night — confident, credentialed, fluent in the language of signs and law. But Jesus won't be managed. “Very truly,” he says — and when Jesus speaks, reality happens. The kingdom of God is not something you climb into; it is something spoken into you. You must be born from above — born of water and Spirit. Not a spiritual achievement. Not a better decision. A birth. Luther calls this passive righteousness: the Spirit blows where it wills, and you cannot command it. What flesh produces is flesh. What God speaks becomes life. This is not advice. It is promise.LENT CHALLENGE GRANTDouble your impact this Lenten season: if you sponsor an episode of Scripture First, a generous donor has agreed to double your donation. We greatly appreciate your support of the show. Learn more at lutherhouseofstudy.org/donateCARE OF SOULS - ADDICTIONIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those struggling with life's challenging situations: addiction, death, family disharmony, and more. With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the broken places of addiction not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about fixing people—it's about preaching the Gospel.Listen to Care of Souls wherever you listen to podcasts or on the Luther House website: Care of Souls - AddictionGOSPEL John 3:1-171 Now there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews. 2 He came to Jesus by night and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God." 3 Jesus answered him, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above." 4 Nicodemus said to him, "How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother's womb and be born?" 5 Jesus answered, "Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. 6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be astonished that I said to you, 'You must be born from above.' 8 The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." 9 Nicodemus said to him, "How can these things be?" 10 Jesus answered him, "Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?11 "Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. 12 If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? 13 No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.17 "Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.Support the showInterested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate

Year A, Second Sunday in Lent

For God so Loved the World (John 3:16-21) || 02/22/26 by OrlandoGrace

Series: Invited To Follow Title: Invited to Witness Scripture: John 3:22-36 Date: 2.22.2026 Message by: David Adams

The Eternal and Beloved Son has come, giving testimony of Himself. Whoever believes and obeys Him has eternal life, but those who do not experience the wrath of God.

What does it really mean to be born again?In John 3, Jesus has a midnight conversation with a religious leader named Nicodemus—a man with status, knowledge, and reputation. Yet Jesus tells him something shocking: religion, heritage, and effort aren't enough. To see and enter the kingdom of God, a person must be born again—born from above—by the Spirit of God.In this message from Come and See (Part 5), we explore:-Why Nicodemus came to Jesus at night-What Jesus meant by being “born of water and the Spirit”-How new birth is a work God does for us, not something we achieve-Why eternal life begins with new breath-How Jesus meets us in our midnight moments with transformation, not condemnationThis sermon is an invitation—not to try harder—but to receive new life.

John 3:1-3

Don't compete with Jesus for attention- Believe in Jesus for salvation

This sermon, titled "How Did You Get Here?", Pastor Chris MacDowell uses John 3:1-16 as a foundation to explore the concept of salvation and being "born again." He challenges common misconceptions about how one attains salvation, particularly those rooted in family tradition, sacraments, or personal achievements. Pastor emphasizes that salvation is not earned through good works or adherence to religious rituals, but is a gift from God, made possible through Jesus Christ. Drawing from Old Testament examples and prophecies, Pastor Chris highlights humanity's inherent inability to achieve righteousness on its own and God's initiative in offering a New Covenant. The sermon stresses the importance of recognizing one's need for a Savior, being born again through the Holy Spirit, and living a life transformed by this new relationship with God. It concludes with a call to share the gospel with others, pray for their salvation, and rely on God's power to bring people into His kingdom. #bornagain #salvation #newcovenant #gospel #faith #christianity #repentance #jesuschrist #eternallife #regeneration www.ReformedRookie.comPodcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologistSemper Reformanda!

A True Minister looks at John 3:25–30 and the powerful response of John the Baptist when his following began to shift toward Jesus. Rather than seeking recognition, he embraced humility, joy, and his God-given role.

He Must Increase: John 3:22–36In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 3:22–36, where John the Baptist humbly declares, “He must increase, but I must decrease.” As questions of comparison and influence arise, John's response reveals a powerful model of humility, joy, and surrender.Together, they unpack what it means to live a life that points to Jesus rather than elevates self, how identity is secured in Christ—not position—and why true joy is found in making much of Him. This passage invites us to examine our motives, release comparison, and embrace a faith that celebrates Christ's increase above all.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Website: www.janewwilliams.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

In this episode of The Postscript, Pastor Andrew Lovette and Pastor Ian Thomas discuss Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus in John 3. They explore Nicodemus as a respected Pharisee who is spiritually blind yet genuinely engaged, and how John's night/light theme highlights his need for new birth. The episode focuses on Jesus' teaching that one must be born again—born of water and the Spirit—to enter the kingdom, tied to Old Testament new-covenant promises, cleansing, and baptism imagery. They also trace Jesus' authority as the Son of Man and connect Numbers' bronze serpent to Christ being “lifted up,” emphasizing saving faith as looking to Jesus.Books mentioned:https://www.amazon.com/Surprising-Genius-Jesus-Gospels-Greatest/dp/1433588366https://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Great-Philosopher-Rediscovering-Wisdom/dp/1587434652

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus, our teacher, into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus irresistible, fascinating, and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his scripture. Today's episode is found in John 3 "Loved Beyond Measure."

John 3:16 is a very well-known verse that offers a short summary of the Gospel. This week, Ralph comments on this famous verse and the verses surrounding it to expand our understanding of its meaning beyond just what is popularly considered, and of course, it is all about salvation!
