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
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 3:1-8Now 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.”

Do you feel like your life is drifting? In the noise of a new year, it's easy to lose sight of why we are actually here. Today, we kick off our new series on Mission by looking at the most famous verse in the Bible—John 3:16—to rediscover God's heart for the world and your specific place in it.
God's unfathomable redeeming love is demonstrated in the gift of His Son. Preached on January 11, 2026.
All people must be born again to see the Kingdom of God.
How did the gospel travel from Jerusalem to your life today?In this series, Pastor Clayton reveals the heart of God's mission: the Father's love that sent the Son so the world could be saved. John 3:16 shows us that salvation is not an accident—it's the result of God's intentional, sacrificial love for a world in darkness.This message explores the Father's love, the Son's sacrifice, and our invitation to believe and be sent. Jesus was lifted up not for praise, but to take on sin and judgment so that everyone who believes can have eternal life. The gospel is both a rescue and a mission—meant to be received and shared.Scriptures Referenced:- John 3:13–21- Numbers 21:4–9- John 20:21Keywords:John 3:16 explained, why Jesus was sent, God's love for the world, gospel message, eternal life, Christian mission, faith in Jesus, Bible sermon, salvation, evangelismGod loved the world enough to send His Son.

Big Idea: No one knows the Father better than the Son, and no one can show the Father like the Son.John 3:17-18For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Anyone who believes in him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.I. God's perfect SonII. God's powerful SonIII. God's promised Son Next Steps: Believe: Today, I surrender my soul to the Son of God.Become: I will trust in Jesus's power this week. Be Sent: I will tell someone about Jesus's love this week.Discussion Questions: Who has the closest family relationship you know?Who condemns the person who doesn't believe that Jesus is God in the flesh?How does Jesus offer you a relationship with God that no other religious leader can?What power does God have that Jesus doesn't?What area of your life do you need Jesus's power over this week?Give the name of one person who needs to hear about Jesus's love this week?Offer your week back to God in prayer.
As we enter into a new year, we're reminded that real, lasting change doesn't come from resolutions or self-improvement, but from being "born again" through the Spirit of God. In this message from John 3, we revisit Jesus' nighttime conversation with Nicodemus to see that true life, eternal life, comes not by religion, effort, or knowledge, but by looking to Christ in faith.

Welcome to the Podcast of Southwest Bible Fellowship in Tempe, Arizona. WHO ARE WE? • We are a group of people who are committed to living the grace life as set forth by the apostle of the Gentiles, the Apostle Paul. • We come together to study our Bibles, and yes, we believe we have God's perfect Word in the King James Bible. It and it alone is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice! • We do not come together and study our Bibles for the intent of being smarter than others. We understand that knowledge for the sake of knowledge is purely vain and serves no Godly purpose. • We do come together and study our Bibles for the intent of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection. (Philippians 3:10) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that we have been crucified with Christ; nevertheless we live; yet not us, but Christ liveth in us: and the life which we now live in the flesh, we live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us. (Galatians 2:20) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that because Jesus Christ shed His blood for us and we should not live for ourselves but for Him, who died for us and rose again. (2 Cor. 5:15) • We do not claim to have attained to these lofty goals, but we press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14) You can donate to this ministry through www.butnow.org and the PayPal button on the homepage.

“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.” (John 3:16–17 NLT) When people give Christmas gifts to each other, they usually put a lot of thought into their selections before buying them. For better or worse, a gift tells us quite a bit about the giver. You can estimate, fairly accurately, what people think of you by the gifts they give you. On the other hand, we all can probably remember Christmases from childhood when we failed to fully appreciate what we had been given. It seems to me that presenting gifts to one another on Christmas is a very right and very good thing for us to do. I believe that in doing so, humanity is subconsciously helping to underscore the greatest and most important thing for us to realize about this day. At Christmas, we must never forget that God the Father is the Giver. Of course, it is natural and right that we should think about the child in Bethlehem, our blessed Lord, lying as a helpless baby in a manger. We should always be thankful for His sacrifice. But let’s never forget this: God is the Giver. It was the Father who sent His Son into the world. The Son accomplished the Father’s purpose. And we can get a pretty accurate sense of what God thinks of us based on the gift He gave. Jesus said, “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him” (John 3:16–17 NLT). The apostle Paul wrote, “But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children” (Galatians 4:4–5 NLT). He also wrote, “But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” (Romans 5:8 NLT). That brings up an essential point about God’s gift: We did nothing to deserve it. “God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it” (Ephesians 2:8–9 NLT). In this season of giving, as we celebrate the greatest gift ever given, let’s not lose sight of the One whose generosity makes the celebration possible. Let’s bring praise and worship to the Father, the great and eternal Giver. Reflection question: What does God’s gift of His Son reveal about God the giver?
