Series: From Surviving to Thriving
Author: David Ireland
Text: John 3:1-11, 16
1.0 It is the Will of God that You THRIVE.
1.1 Today's sermon "From Surviving to THRIVING" is a new four-part teaching series.
A) Jesus delights in helping you move from surviving to thriving.

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.
