Lesson 2:
"We Offer New Life Here"
by Michael Lewis
Dalton Gardens Church of Christ
March 29, 2009
Last Week Review... If you are to be part of a growing church then you have to learn how to let some things roll off your back and just let others things go so you will not get bogged down in petty things, but be able to focus on the bigger and better things in the Lord.
This week... In Christ there is also the opportunity of a new beginning and fresh start with God.
John 3:1-18
Who is Nicodemus?
1. He was respected .
2. He had been researching Jesus.
3. He was a little uneasy with admitting his spiritual need.
The message:
1. The blessing and the opportunity of eternal life is an act of love from God.
2. Eternal life is a gift that calls for a demonstration of faith from people.
John 3:16;3:5;3:7;Col.2:12;Numbers 21:5-9
3. God does not condemn people, people condemn people.
John 3:18
4. Jesus provides a way of authenticity and the world provides the way for disguising yourself.
2 Cor. 5:17-18; 1 John 1:9
