“Salvation to a Soundbite” – John 3:1-17

Sermon by The Rev. Elizabeth N.H. Link from Sunday, August 29, 2021. "If God were to make God’s love conditional, then we would have tremendous power. Then we could negotiate, we could threaten to reject God’s love, we could even tell God to get lost. But when God just loves us, steadfastly and unconditionally and sends God’s son for us, then there’s nothing we can do about it. God in Jesus has made that decision—a decision that is for us, no matter what. If that’s not good news we need to hear right now, then I don’t know what is."
