Fbco Sunday Sermons

This morning, I want to encourage you if you have a Bible with you, to open to the Gospel of John 3, and as you turn to John 3, today we're going to deal with the subject matter that is one of the most, I believe, important subject matters obviously to discuss, but has become very personal to me over the years. In fact, for a little over 25 years, a subject matter that I have just studied and thought upon and looked at both from a distance and close by is this concept of religion versus relationship.

Lord, today as we prepare to open your word, when we make this statement that you are able to right our wrongs, Lord, we confess that the list oftentimes is longer than we care to admit, the actions, the words, the thoughts but, Lord, today we believe that whatever those wrongs are, you can right them. Lord, whatever the problems are you can solve them. Lord, whatever the sin is you can forgive them. So I pray that as we come and we read and we study your word it wouldn't just be a story of two millennia ago but it would be our story today. It is in the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
