Snake Bites and the Son of Man (70 of 70)
And The Word Became Flesh
John 3:9-18
Pastor Jeff Schreve
If you have your Bible, please turn to John, chapter 3. We're in a series in the Book of John entitled, And the Word Became Flesh. Tonight, I want to talk to you about this subject: Snakes Bites and the Son of Man.

Did you know that lots of people who come to church Sunday after Sunday after Sunday after Sunday, call themselves Christians, are not able to answer that question? They would get nervous. They would get flustered. They would be like, "I don't really know how to do that." I remember talking to a guy one time about his soul, and he kept telling me, "Oh, I'm okay. I'm fine. I'm fine." So, I just asked him, I said, "Okay, well, what would you say to someone who came to you and said to you, maybe it's somebody on an airplane, sat next to you on an airplane, and said to you, "Hey, can you tell me how to get to heaven because I don't know how." I said, "What would you say?" Well, obviously the ...
