Sermon, April 21: A Camouflaged Idol

(Click on above title link to listen to sermon audio.)

Today's sermon is based on John 3:1-15 as I continue our journey through the Gospel of John.

The modern world, including many churches and Christians, I fear may have fallen to a type of idolatry, that on the surface looks perfectly acceptable. It seems, too, that the ancient Jewish religious leaders had the same problem.

Through the story of Jesus and Nicodemus, John exposes this idolatry that had ensnared Nicodemus and perhaps us today. John tells us Jesus' response to Nicodemus, and also to us, in regards to what is most important in getting to know the Father.
