About this episode

Pastor Will reflects on the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus, exploring the meaning of being 'born from above' and the concept of eternal life starting now.

This week, Pastor Will reflects on John 3:1–17 and the nighttime conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus. Moving beyond bumper-sticker faith, this sermon explores what it really means to be “born from above” and to receive eternal life as something that begins now. It’s an invitation to step out of compartmentalized faith, trust God’s initiative, and come out of the dark into the light.
