This message presses past surface level Christianity and challenges what salvation actually is. Pastor Philip Martin walks through Genesis 3, John 3, Romans 5, and Numbers 21 to show why sin always produces shame, hiding, and self-covering, and why those patterns still shape religious culture today.
Jesus tells Nicodemus that life only comes through rebirth, not behavior, knowledge, or effort. Just as the serpent was lifted up in the wilderness, salvation comes by looking to what God provides, not fixing ourselves. This sermon calls listeners out of darkness, into the light, and into a clearer understanding of what it truly means to be saved.
