Today we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord

and I want to talk about a few BIG ideas

that will lay out the next season of teaching.

In John chapter three

one of the leaders of the sanhedrin,

Nicodemus

comes to Jesus secretly

at night.

And Nicodemus makes an observation to Jesus,

no one could do the signs that you do

unless God is with him.

And the Jesus replies,

No one can enter the Kingdom of heaven

unless he is born again.

And then Jesus explains

that unless you are born

by water and the Holy Spirit

you are not in the Kingdom.

Flesh gives birth to flesh

and spirit gives birth to spirit.

The Kingdom of God

is not a kingdom of talk,

but a kingdom of power.
