Rockharbor Costa Mesa Podcast

Glenn talks about Nicodemus’ encounter with Jesus emphasizing Nico’s caution and curiosity in approaching the supposed, “Messiah.” Jesus cuts right to the chase with Nicodemus, reiterating that through Him we can gain new life, not simply as a do-over on our current situation, but a fresh birth of the Spirit that bears eternal life and comes from a loving God who finds us as Savior first, not judge.

In the opening chapter of John, two central questions emerge that frame both Jesus’ encounter with the first disciples and the book of John as a whole. As we are encountered by Jesus, we are invited to consider: “who is Jesus” and “What are we looking for?” Who we believe Jesus to be shapes what we long for Him to do in our lives. As we begin this series, our hope is that you'd experience a fresh encounter with Jesus, bolstered by Scripture, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and our church community.
