This sermon explores the question that follows every believer: What am I going to do with Jesus? Using the life of Nicodemus, it traces the progression of faith through three stages. Shadow Faith believes in Jesus but hides in fear of exposure, choosing safety over identification. 

Calculated Faith speaks cautiously, engaging truth without fully obeying it, adjusting conviction to remain comfortable. The warning against Camouflage Faith reveals the enemy’s strategy—not denial, but blending in, making faith common and non-threatening. 

Finally, Stand Up Faith emerges when Nicodemus publicly identifies with Jesus at the cross, when there is nothing to gain and everything to lose. The message culminates in a call to baptism, declaring that following Jesus means visible allegiance, not hidden belief—moving from shadows into clarity and obedience.
