Our Sunday sermon series in Lent is Discovering the Life Abundant, a journey through the gospel of John, paired with our small group study. John was called “the spiritual gospel” by a leader of the early church, written “that you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, you may have life in his name” (John 20:31). We’ll listen to John and to our own lives, seeking the abundant life Christ came to share (John 10:10).

We continue our series on Discovering the Life Abundant in the gospel of John with the mysterious nighttime encounter of Jesus and the temple leader Nicodemus, whose curiosity about the teacher from Nazareth may turn into something more. How do we enter the spiritual life, anyway? Nicodemus wants to know, and John thinks we do, too.
