Sermon | ”Preconceptions” | March 5

Whether it's political debates or television or public school board meetings, people are convinced the way they understand and live in the world is the correct way. We all have preconceived notions about the way the world is and should be. This is true for people of faith as well, not only about our perceptions of the "world out there" but our perceptions of Jesus. It's hard to admit that we might not have all the right answers. In a curious conversation with a Pharisee, Jesus invites Nicodemus to reconsider his preconceived notions about who Jesus is and how we find unity with God. If we want to live well, we must die to our preconceived notions.
