"Quoted" - Part 1

In Part 1 of Hill City’s new series "Quoted", Pastor Adam unpacks the world’s most famous Bible verse—John 3:16—in its full context. This powerful message reveals that these familiar words were first spoken to Nicodemus, a respected religious leader searching for truth under the cover of night. Pastor Adam walks through John 3:1–21, showing how Jesus confronts Nicodemus with the need to be born again—not just religious or moral, but transformed by the Spirit. As we discover, believing in Jesus (the Greek pisteuo) is more than agreeing with facts; it’s a conviction that He is the only Savior, a surrender to His lordship, and a trust that holds even in life’s darkest trials.

With relatable examples, cultural references, and companion scriptures, Pastor Adam challenges us to see John 3:16 as more than a coffee-mug verse. It is God’s declaration of love wide enough to embrace the whole world and His invitation for everyone to step out of darkness into the light of His mercy. This message calls each listener to examine—do you truly believe in Jesus the way He describes? Whether you’ve grown up in church or are new to faith, this is a clear, Spirit-filled call to salvation.
