Salvation Offered, John 3:1-36

I've posted my PowerPoint slides for Sunday's lesson from John 3, "Salvation Offered", where Jesus meets with Nicodemus, who is troubled about the idea of being born again.

In my lesson, I plan to play a video of the scene of Nicodemus meeting Jesus in an olive garden. I put together this clip from the movie, "Jesus of Nazareth" by Franco Zeffirelli. I plan to ask my class to contrast the video with the account in John 3 and to pay close attention to how Nicodemus expresses his troubled heart. What can we learn from his questions?

As a treat, Monty Lee, who teaches a senior adult class at First Baptist Church of Westcliffe, Colorado sent me his slides for the lesson "Salvation Offered". He has two versions, one for Apple Keynote users, and another for PowerPoint users. Please welcome Monty to the blog site, and thank him for his willingness to minister in this way.

I appreciate Gary's slides since these last chapters of Hosea are somewhat depressing. Thirty years ago, I had a department director named Jack Longgear who always started our meetings by quoting, "This is a day that the Lord hath made. Let's rejoice and be glad in it." I appreciated Jack's enthusiasm and upbeat nature, and whenever we had to teach a difficult passage from the Old Testament, Jack advised us to "crank the engine by reading the O.T. focal passage and then head straight for Jesus in the N.T.". I still smile today thinking about that lesson strategy. I share it in hopes that God may use it to help you prepare Sunday's lesson.
