John 3:14-21 Reclaimed
John 3:14-21 has been badly abused by Arminians seeking sound bites for decisional salvation. It is difficult to preach the positive message of the verses without undoing their damage. This tough and sarcastic correction seeks to undo their false claims…

Gospel of JohnPart 23 in Gospel of John (2016)
The Bible condemns modern notions of being born again. This sermon works through several arguments. The decisional regeneration today and its resulting easy-believism are very, very wrong. Love the truth of regeneration by the will of a sovereign God and…

Gospel of JohnPart 22 in Gospel of John (2016)
