Faith in the Valley

The Purpose of Jesus - Episode 43


Listen Later

Welcome to Faith in the Valley. For these show notes, I have attached a sample of my Sunday morning sermon handout. Where the words are underlined I typically leave a blank and then coordinate the handout with the slides.

The podcast episode does not match the Sunday sermon exactly, but they are close. Let's see if this tool works.

Your Takeaway

You will never be right if you get Jesus wrong.

Handout Confusion

John 3:9-17

Nicodemus was a Pharisee, a religious leader.

Being born again or born of the Spirit confused Nicodemus. John 3:4, 9, 10

Jesus used earthly things to illustrate heavenly things. John 3:6-8, 12

So Jesus used an Old Testament story to help Nicodemus understand.

Snakes

Numbers 21:4-9

The Jews complained about God and Moses.

God punished the Jews with venomous snakes.

They begged that God remove the snakes but God did not. Rather God provided a cure Verse 8

All who looked at the bronze serpent were cured because God was willing and able to cure them. Verse 8

Why Jesus?

John 3:14-16

  1. “Lifted Up” is in reference to His crucifixion.
  • We have a sin problem. John 3:17, we are already condemned See also Romans 6:23.
  • God does not take away the problem, rather He provides a cure.
  • That cure is Jesus’ death on the cross.
  1. Jesus came to give eternal life to those who believe in Him.
  • Everyone may come and be saved.
  • Jesus is willing and able to save you.
  1. God does this because He loves you. See also 2 Peter 3:9
Now what?

Believe in Jesus and be saved.
