John 3:1-18

Join us for the third week of our Christmas series, "Why Christmas Matters," as Pastor Paul takes us through the familiar yet profound passage of John 3:1-18 in the sermon "For God So Loved." Discover how Nicodemus's nighttime conversation with Jesus reveals the heart of the Christmas message — that God's love compelled Him to send His only Son not to condemn the world, but to save it. Pastor Paul unpacks what it truly means to be "born again" and draws a powerful parallel to Numbers 21, where Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, foreshadowing Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Learn why Christmas is about so much more than a baby in a manger — it's about a Savior who came to live among us, die for us, and rise again so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. Be reminded that God had no obligation to save us, yet He did because He loved us, and be encouraged to "look and live" by opening your heart to receive the greatest gift ever given.
