This sermon explores the transformative conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3, where the call to be “born again” challenges us to lay down the identities we’ve built for ourselves and receive the new life Christ offers. Like Nicodemus, we may cling to accomplishments, knowledge, or control, yet Jesus invites us into a radical rebirth that brings true freedom. The message urges us to consider whether we’re living as “agents of chaos” in a world desperate for divine order, or embracing the eternal identity given by our Creator. As we reflect, we’re invited to ask: Are we still relying on ourselves, or are we fully living in the new life and freedom found in Jesus?
