On Sunday, March 29th, 2026, David Boshart spoke on "Born From Above: A Conversation in the Shadow of the Cross". The sermon follows Nicodemus' journey in the gospel and the new birth that he goes through with his night-time visit with Jesus. Nicodemus heard Jesus say that one must be "born again", but the Greek words Jesus used could've just as easily meant "born from above". Jesus not only challenged Nicodemus' certainty when saying "we know...", he also challenged the idea that it's possible to control what happens. Just as one cannot legislate the wind, one can neither control what God has planned. Instead, we should surrender to God's will, that we may also be born from above and transformed. When Jesus died, it was Nicodemus who helped prepare for the burial, demonstrating a quiet act of courage and love.
