Hope Reborn
Manage episode 255603159 series 2421920
Most Christians are used to hearing the term "born again", but how many of us think through what it means for us? How are we born again, and what does it look like to be born again? Fr. Stephen's sermon today confronts the challenge of rebirths which don't seem to take. We sometimes want rebirth, but don't end up with the lasting change the rebirth implies. Christ offers us a rebirth which is eternal, and which has effects in our lives today.
Sermon Passage: John 3:1-17
Preached on March 8, 2020, the 2nd Sunday in Lent, by the Rev. Stephen Silverthorne
Sermon Highlights
- Terms like born again should be re-examined because they are too familiar
- True rebirth is a genuine new start, and something undertaken by God
- Israel, Church and Individuals often attempt a new start, without lasting results
- Jesus' death and resurrection are a true rebirth
- We enjoy a true rebirth by casting ourselves on Jesus
