You Must Be Born Again (The Doctrine of Regeneration)

In this sermon, Pastor Matt revisits John 3:3-8, this time focusing on the need to be born again.

A Gospel for the Righteous - John 3:1-15

A sermon through John 3:1-15. Pastor Matt walks us through Nicodemus' conversation with Jesus and shows us how the Gospel is a gospel for those who are trusting their own righteousness. Our righteousness isn't enough. Our religious heritage and background and accomplishments aren't enough. Like Nicodemus, we must be born again. 

Superficial Vs Saving Faith - John 2:23-25
