The Nature Of The New Birth
by Adrian Rogers
We are going to begin reading in verse one, John chapter three. If you did not bring a Bible with you, look in the pew racks and there you will find a Bible. John chapter three. "There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God, for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, how can a man be born when he's...
You Must Be Born Again! (4 of 6)
by Dennis Marquardt
INTRO: We all know what "FALL" means, winter is coming. Most of us hate winter … a time of dark days, very cold weather, very few signs of life outside -- can't ride my Harley anymore! Most everything outside dies in the winter. Imagine what we would think if we had no idea about seasons? Our hope would be gone, we wouldn't even know about the new birth in the Springtime, but hope is not gone because we all know that life will be born again in the Spring. When sin entered the human race it was the "fall" of man, and we all know what follows "fall" … the death of winter! This spiritual winter is observable in the world around just...
A Picture of Love (4 of 4)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: A soldier serving overseas received a Dear John letter from his girlfriend back home. Not only was she cutting off their relationship - adding insult to injury - she wrote, ''Will you please return my favorite photograph of myself? I need it for my engagement picture in the local newspaper.'' The poor guy was devastated. But the soldiers in his unit came to his rescue. They went throughout the entire camp and collected pictures of all the other guys' girlfriends. Then they put them all in a shoe box and sent it to the girl along with this note: ''Please find your picture, and return the rest. For the life of me, I can't remember which....
God's Love for Sinners
by Patrick Edwards
Why is Christmas such a big deal? I mean take away the decorations, the presents, the music, scrap it all. It's the middle of night, in some remote tiny town, and a poor family gives birth to a baby boy. Luke tells us that angels appeared in the night's sky as a result with a multitude as they sing in a most fantastic chorus, ''Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.'' I mean what's the big deal?Why has the church made such a big deal about Christmas? I mean isn't Easter more important? That's at least marks the death and resurrection of Jesus. I mean I guess we could say then that...

The Truth about the New Birth
by Rex Yancey
Since Jimmy Carter's presidency, the news media has had much to say about the new birth. Much of what they have said has shed a tainted picture of Christians who have been described as born again. Actually, a born again Christian is a misnomer, for there is only one kind of true Christian, and that is a born again one. Three senior adults were talking. One said, "You know, when I am before a mirror, I do not know if I am dressing or undressing." Another one said, "Well, when I am in my car, I do not know if I am going or coming back." The other one said, "Well, I am glad that nothing like that has ever happened...
Nicodemus (10 of 23)
by J.D. Jones
And the chapter which tells of that meeting between Jesus and Nicodemus, and of the conversation that took place between them, is one of the classic chapters in this great and classic gospel. How came Nicodemus to seek out Jesus at all? How came a 'teacher of Israel' to seek out the Galilean prophet? How came the Jerusalem rabbi to sit at the feet of a young teacher from Nazareth? Dr. Alexander Whyte, in his lecture on Nicodemus, assumes that there is behind the story of their meeting a whole chapter of unrecorded history. His own surmise is that Nicodemus was one of that Pharisaic deputation-and possibly...
Nicodemus - He Lacked One Thing
by Duane Bemis
Here we are once again; are you ready to look into the scriptures and let Jesus speak to us again? My heartfelt desire is that you see the truths that are hidden within the words and questions of this very religious man named Nicodemus. Nicodemus' name means "Victorious". Let us find out if he lives up to his name. Let us pray together that God will be glorified, and each of our hearts will be touched and changed for the better. Let us pray that we can learn how to be more Christlike in our every day dealings with important religious people. Let us look at their hearts first and let us see that their hearts hunger for more of God. Right now let us bow...
The Man Who Came By Night-nicodemus (7 Of 18)
by Clarence E. Macartney
Night has fallen over Jerusalem, and only the faint, dim outline of its walls and towers and pinnacles is visible. Here, close to the wall of the city, is a garden. In this garden are costly tombs for the dead, for it is a burying place for the rich. But now stand aside, for here approach two men carrying a burden between them. The odor of myrrh and frankincense and cassia tells us that it is a body that they are carrying, embalmed for the tomb. Now for a moment they stop to rest, gently laying their burden down and anxiously looking about as if some foe might appear to interfere with their sacred and tender mission. At length they come...
Nicodemus: A Man Who Found Light in the Night (4 of 18)
by Ken Trivette
One of the saddest stories I have ever read is about the legendary Country and Western singer, Hank Williams. In 1948 he wrote the familiar song entitled I Saw the Light. The first stanza goes: I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin; I wouldn't let my Dear Savior in. Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night;Praise the Lord, I saw the light! The first line in the stanza seems to be a fitting description of the life Hank Williams lived. Biographers tell of a life tormented by disease, drugs, and alcohol. He died in the back of his Cadillac somewhere in West Virginia, on January 31, 1952 at the age of 29. Near the end of his life, while...
Leading Your Children to Christ (2 of 6)
by Scott Maze
This morning I'll be talking about children experiencing what Jesus calls the new birth. Before I do, I want to say a word about Vacation Bible School. VBS is one of the most effective tools for reaching people with the gospel. VBS will happen in nine locations this year and I hope you'll join us for training this evening. We want our children to be saved. And the stats are clear for America's children as Jesus find a very high number of children/teenagers before they are eighteen. The clear desire of every Christian parent is the spiritual wellbeing of their children. As much as anything, we want to equipping parents to Lead their children to...
Do I Have A Spiritual Birth Certificate? (1 of 4)
by James Merritt
I want to welcome those at our campuses as well as those watching online. We are one church in multiple locations. I encourage you to attend the campus closest to you. Introduction: 1. I wrote a book entitled, 52 Weeks With Jesus. No matter how many books I have written or may write, it will always be my favorite book, because it is all about my favorite subject - Jesus. Whenever I am asked to sign that book, I always sign it with these words, ''There's nobody like Jesus!'' You can line up every religious leader, prophet, teacher, and figure in history and they all have to stand totally apart from Jesus. He is literally one of a kind! 2. Jesus...
A Brand New Start
by Jerry Vines
I don't know about you, but sometimes I get the feeling I would like to have a brand new start. I want to talk to you about how to have a brand new start. I guess everybody at one time or the other has had the desire to just begin again. We have a lot of middle schoolers here today and it's getting toward the end of the school year. Many times when you come to the end of the year and you are aware of the fact that you aren't really prepared and test time is coming. Sometimes you say, ''My, if I could just start this year over. If I could get a brand new start I would do a whole lot better and I would study harder than I have...
Nic at Night
by Ernest Easley
Now join me this morning in John's gospel the third chapter. As you are turning there .. let me express my gratitude to our choir and orchestra who sang and played with an anointing of God during our Easter Weekend Celebration. And I also want to express my gratitude to you who made a special effort to either invite or bring somebody with you to be a part of our Easter Weekend Celebration. This past weekend we saw what happens when we invite and bring people with us to worship! We saw that many of them will come if we invite and bring them. We had just under 5000 people here for our Easter Weekend Celebration beginning with...
