"Reset: Changed Lives, New Beginnings"

 

“Reset”

What if you could start over again? What if life had a “reset” button? The New Year offers us a unique opportunity to start again, to have a fresh start, to have a “do over.” According to what Jesus said to Nicodemus in John 3:1-8, not only is a “reset” possible, it’s the only way to experience God’s best life.

“Reset: Changed Lives, New Beginnings” is a new sermon series that begins this Sunday, January 3^rd at Carrollwood Baptist Church. When people encountered Jesus, miraculous things always happened. What “New Beginning” could take place in your life this year? You can read the story of Jesus’ encounter with Nicodemus from John’s account below.

You are invited to join us for worship this Sunday at Carrollwood Baptist Church where all are welcomed. Worship begins at 10:30 a.m. and we are conveniently located one mile east of the Veterans Expressway at 5395 Ehrlich Road. For more information, check us out online at carrollwoodbaptist.org.

Looking forward to a New Year and a great day of worship!

John 3:1-8, New International Version (NIV)

Jesus Teaches Nicodemus
1 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”

3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”
