Show Notes

Nicodemus came to Jesus at night, hiding behind status and intellect. But Jesus didn't entertain his self-protection. Instead, He offered a new birth—one that disarms pride, dismantles fear, and invites us into the Spirit’s wild, freeing work. Being born again isn’t about having the right answers. It’s about having the courage to be vulnerable, to start over, and to step into the light. This sermon explores how Jesus lovingly tears down our defenses and invites us into the vulnerable, powerful life of the Kingdom.
