Welcome to Hope Presbyterian Church!
We encourage parents to worship together with their children, as they too are members of God’s covenant family. We ask the rest of Hope family to be patient and “let the little children come” to Jesus (Mt. 19:14).
sermon notes
Because of Christ’s redemptive work on the cross, the spiritually dead can be made alive (born again) through the power of the Holy Spirit!
The Necessity of Being Born Again
The Meaning of Being Born Again
The Evidence of Being Born Again
Reflection GROUPS - 12:15PM
Reflection Questions (Applying the Gospel to Our Lives):
1. Do you act like a know-it-all sometimes, like Nicodemus? How are you ignorant of spiritual truths like him?
2. Why does Jesus emphasize the necessity of being born again? (v. 3, v. 5)
3. What did Nicodemus think being born again meant? (v. 4). What, then, does it mean? (v. 5, v.8).
4. Are you born again? How do you know that you are born again? (vv. 14-15).
5. End by praying that God would help us realize His love for us (vv. 16-17).
Response Song
how deep the father’s love for us
How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He would give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the Man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no powr, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
