This sermon talks about how overestimating our understanding—applies to faith, using Nicodemus in John 3 as an example. While he was a religious expert, Jesus revealed there was much he didn’t know, especially about God’s love and the scope of salvation. John 3:16 isn’t just about individual souls; it’s about God’s love for the entire cosmos—people, creation, and all that exists. We’re invited not only to receive that love but to participate in God’s mission of restoring the world. As followers of Jesus, we live today as signs of the kingdom that is coming, caring for creation, seeking justice, and embodying hope.
