Annual Meeting 2025: The Brass Serpent (John 3:14-18)

Summary

Elder Tim McCoo's sermon explores the connection between the Old Testament account of Moses lifting up the brass serpent and Jesus' declaration in John 3:14-18 about being lifted up on the cross. He explains that just as the Israelites who looked upon the brass serpent were healed from physical death, believers who look to Christ lifted on the cross are saved from spiritual death. The message emphasizes the necessity of understanding John 3:16 within the context of this Old Testament reference and encourages deeper Bible study to grasp the richness of Christ's sacrifice.
