In John 3:1–15, Jesus tells Nicodemus that unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. In this sermon, Born Twice, Die Once: The Necessity and Nature of the New Birth, we explore why the new birth is essential for salvation and what it truly means to be born of the Spirit. Religious effort isn’t enough—only a supernatural work of God can bring spiritual life.
Ecclesiastes 7:25–29 exposes the root issue of humanity—our hearts. Though God made us upright, we have turned aside in sin. This sermon traces the biblical story from Genesis, showing our original righteousness, tragic rebellion and fall, and the deep need for new hearts. Only God can restore what we have broken and provide what we need -- new hearts.
