  • 2 Corinthians – 2 Legit 2 Quit (2 Corinthians 3:1-6)

    September 20, 2026 · Dr Josh Burnham

    2 Corinthians

    • 29:03John 3

      He said the old covenant in verse 9, the old ministry brought condemnation. The law tells you what you're doing wrong. Some of you are liars. Stop lying. Some of you are adulterers. Be faithful. Some of us are duplicitous and we're living double lives. Whatever it might be, the law is condemning you because you are condemning yourself. Right? John 3, 16, for God so loved, we love this verse, for God so loved

    • 29:15John 3

      for God so loved the world that God gave his only son that whoever believes in him might not perish but have everlasting life. John 3, 16. But sometimes we forget John 3, 18 where Jesus says, anyone who believes in him is not condemned. But anyone who does not believe in the son is already condemned. Why did Jesus say that? Because our life condemns…

      …say that. He says saints. Saints literally means set apart ones or holy ones. And what Paul is saying there is, these are the ones that have a new identity in Christ. These are the ones, as Jesus told Nicodemus in John chapter 3, who have been born again. These are the ones who are new creations. The old things has passed away.

      You know, the song from the, we are the world, for God so loved the world, John 3, 16. Well, we are the world. Who are we? You and me. Well, let's get selfish. Let's throw out to you and let's just think on to me. God, Christ did this for me, for nobody else but me. And when we take on that attitude and we see that what Christ did for us, how can we say no to it?

    • 24:22John 3:16

      When I got born again, there is a difference in the way that I live. And watch what I started doing. Pastor Josh, I knew one scripture and one scripture only. I didn't even know John 3.16. I didn't grow up in church. We didn't go for Christmas. We didn't go for Easter. We didn't go. So I didn't know it. But when I found Proverbs 14.12, that was the only scripture that everybody I met, I shared that one…

      That he would be exalted even in death. That we might have eternal life. So, John 3. 3 John 1. 9 through some verses. It gets confusing because John doesn't really have a chapter. 3 John. It's just 3 John. But turn to chapter 1, verse 9 through 12. He says,

  • The Epistles of John: Living Like Gaius (3 John 1-8)

    September 28, 2025 · Dr Josh Burnham

    The Epistles of John

    • 33:45John 3

      Gaius would say to us, I was a stranger and God opened his arms to me. How can I not open my hands to others? And if you are here today and you feel like God is looking at you with closed hands and condemnation, just remember John 3, 16. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, whoever believes in him will not perish, but have everlasting life. For or because God did not send his son to condemn the world.

    Asking for a Friend

    • 10:32John 3

      I don't want you to think that Jesus only speaks about his divinity and his salvation one time. John 3. Again, in a private setting, it's at dark. Nicodemus comes to him at night. Actually, I think the better translation, Nicodemus comes to Jesus in darkness. Yes, it's PM after the sun has gone down. But Nicodemus is…

  • Matthew

    • 35:59John 3:16

      Jesus quotes Deuteronomy. And I bet Satan was like, really? Deuteronomy? Not John 3.16? Not Philippians 1.6? Deuteronomy. And Jesus says, yes, even Deuteronomy will hold Satan at bay. The sword of God is our weapon against Satan. Do not leave the sword of God on the shelf. Why is it so important that we know that he who began a good work is faithful to carry you to completion into the day of Christ Jesus?

    Savior

    • 24:59John 3

      The word was God. By him, all things are made. In him is life and that life is the light of the world. We see in John chapter three that God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him will not perish but will have everlasting life. We see in Jesus' own words in the chapter right before this, Jesus says, I have come to give you life and life more abundant. Like y'all don't, don't miss the fact here.

  • Savior

    • 18:06John 3:16

      Some of you have memorized John 3.16. For God so loved the world that he gave, he sent his one and only son that whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life. Have you ever thought about those words? When you give something, it's usually thought in advance, isn't it? And many of us have received gifts that you know they weren't thought out. Right? Someone says, I know it was your birthday or I thought of you

  • Back to the Basics

    • 32:21John 3:16

      I'm always fascinated that the greatest, one of the greatest verses that we love and cherish as a people of faith is John 3.16. For God so loved the world that he gave. Why would the greatest verse to some of our lives be about giving? For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son. That whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life.

  • When in Romans: God Did (Romans 8:1-11)

    March 11, 2024 · Dr Josh Burnham

    When in Romans

    • 13:06John 3

      And even more, Jesus himself said that God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. That's John 3, 17 and 18. So what is Jesus saying to us? That we currently stand condemned on our own. That the default destination for sons of Adam and daughters of Eve is not eternal life. The default destination is hell and guilt…

  • When in Romans

    • 27:06John 3

      Because one day God will take the mask off. May we struggle in the spirit with hypocrisy and bring our lives to the light of Jesus Christ. John 3 says it this way. Anyone who lives by the truth comes to the light so that his works may be shown to be accomplished by God. For all who wear the mask today, bring it to the Lord.

    • 13:53John 3:16

      And again, this is not the first time in the Bible, nor the last, that we hear about darkness as a metaphor for our sin. Think about John chapter 3, verse 16. You know it very well. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son. Whoever believes in him, that is the son, will not perish, shall not perish, but have everlasting life. That's verse 16. But in verse…

  • Who’s Your King?: Losing Holiness (2 Samuel 6)

    October 29, 2023 · Dr Josh Burnham

    Who's Your King

    • 20:06John 3

      When people are no longer awed, respectful, or fearful of God's holiness, the community is at risk. May we not put ourselves at risk by losing the holiness. Sin, by definition, is to miss the mark, to fall short, to be unholy. But it is the kindness of God that warns us and draws us back. Many of you know John 3, 16. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son.

And then he was there when Jesus said these words that we, as a church, have come to love.

    Hidden Revealed

    • 15:07John 3

      It's a reminder that God's grace is freely given, but that invitation has to be accepted. The Lamb's army were chosen, but we must accept. Verse 5 of Ephesians 1. And Yahweh chose you to be adopted as sons and daughters to the praise of His glorious grace. Eternal life is an invitation that must be accepted. John 3, verse 6 of Ephesians 1. He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes, that's accepting the invitation, isn't it?

      and sinners will be held in judgment. That's why Jesus in John 3 tells us this, right? God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world. But anyone who does not believe is already condemned because he who has not believed in the name of Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God. If you are living in sin,

  • (GR)ATTITUDE

    • 33:58John 3:16

      Did you know that the spiritual truth is that everyone has something to be thankful for and someone to be thankful to? But not everyone will be thankful. John 3.16 says it this way. For God so loved the world that He gave. Let's stop at the world. That is God's way of saying, God so loved all of humanity. There's not a single person in the world that God did not love.

It feels like to the descent of a bankrupt society. We're finally at the end, thinking, can we have some good news? Just give me some John 3.16. I'm tired of Judges. Right? So Judges end.

    The JESUS Story

    • 10:21John 3

      If you remember, Nicodemus in John 3 comes to Jesus Christ and he's a learned man. He's a teacher of the law and he comes to Jesus at night in darkness. We know that the book of John says that men hate light but they love darkness. And John is reminding us that there is darkness in all of our lives. And the lack of light shrouds Mary's understanding. She can't see like she needs to see because of the darkness.

      This is the first time in the Gospel of John that it's said that Jesus loves his own. Now, some of you are thinking, uh-uh, you forgot John 3.16, right? John 3.16 says that God so loved the world. Now, let's talk about Jesus' love. Here it says that he loves his own. But we know that Jesus loves everyone, doesn't he? He loves the twelve, and he loves those that were not in his inner circle.

      That's why we need regeneration. It's not saying, God, do you know who I am? It's us saying, God, you do know who I am. God, I need you. I need new life. Isn't that what Jesus tells Nicodemus in John 3? Nicodemus, a learned man of the law. He's a seeker. He has knowledge. He has information, but he doesn't have transformation yet. He's like some of you. And he comes to Jesus and he says, Jesus, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

It's a reminder in John 3, 16, it's the same gospel that God so loved the world that he gave.

      And we talk about the anonymous voice not wanting to take pleasure in itself, but emphasizing the message. In John 3:30, this messenger of the voice crying out in the wilderness looks at Jesus Christ and says this, very simply. He says, "He must increase and I must decrease." John's saying, "Look, I don't matter, but Jesus does." This is the voice. This should be our message and the way will be made straight.
