Conversations with Jesus: Nicodemus

Conversations with Jesus: Nicodemus

In John 3, Nicodemus comes to speak with Jesus in private. He is curious to know more about what Jesus is teaching, and so Jesus presents the Gospel to him in the most famous verses in the Bible. Nicodemus thought Jesus was teaching about a better way to live, but Jesus was calling His followers to a new life.

Unhurried: The Power of God's Presence

In Exodus 33 and 34, God reveals His character to sinful people. We learn that no gift God can give us is as important as dwelling in His presence. In order to draw closer to God, we need to change to become more like Him and follow His commandments.

Unhurried: Abide

In John 15, Jesus teaches us the importance of abiding in Him. He is our source, and without Him, we can do nothing. As we abide with Jesus, it changes the way we treat those around us and causes us to be different from the world. In Jesus, we produce fruit that brings glory to our heavenly Father.

Unhurried: Priorities

In Luke 10-11, Jesus teaches us several important elements of what life as a Christian should look like. Looking at the story of Mary and Martha, we learn that doing things for Jesus is not a replacement for a relationship with Jesus. We are called to be worshippers first, and workers second.

Unhurried: Solitude

When we look at the way Jesus lived on earth, we see many instances where He withdraws from the crowds in order to pray. This is not an escape from people, but a time to realign with the Father. In solitude, the noise from the world is taken away, and we have a chance to hear what God saying to us.
