True worship
This is quite a long conversation that covers a range of topics, so we can’t cover everything here. The key question for us here is, “What is true worship?”
Born again
Nicodemus’ encounter with Jesus is one of several in-depth conversations recorded in John’s gospel, and it is a very important one.
The place of piety (Jn. 12:1–8)
Whether you think you’re a pious person or not (or whether you think that other person is too pious or not), God still speaks and acts.
The two sons (Lk. 15:1–3,11b–32)
Whether we’re rebellious or whether we’re prideful, God has enough grace to come out and invite us into his kingdom. He comes out to us in our baptism, through his body and blood, and by his Word.
Another chance (Lk. 13:1–9)
A fruit tree that doesn’t bear fruit deserves to be pulled up. Not only does God keep us in the ground for another year – he gives us the most precious gift under heaven: his only Son.
Transforming power (Ph. 3:17—4:1)
Paul points to Christ as the one who is transforming us and bringing all things under his authority. What does that mean for us?
The bread of life (Jn. 6:25–35)
Have you been searching without finding? Look no further. Jesus is here.
