Trinity Sunday - June 15. 2025

Listen along as The Rev. Dr. Michael Waschevski teaches on John 3.1-10 which recounts a nighttime conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus, a Pharisee and member of the Jewish ruling council. Nicodemus acknowledges that Jesus must be from God because of the signs He performs. Jesus responds by teaching that no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are "born again" (or "born from above"). Confused, Nicodemus asks how someone can be born again when they are old. Jesus explains that this new birth is spiritual, not physical—being born of water and the Spirit. He rebukes Nicodemus for not understanding, especially as a teacher of Israel. The passage emphasizes the necessity of spiritual rebirth for salvation and understanding God's kingdom.
