Annual Meeting 2025: The Brass Serpent (John 3:14-18)
by Elder Tim McCool (preached on March 8, 2025)
In this short but powerful sermon from our 2025 Annual Meeting, Elder Tim McCool takes us to the scene where Jesus schools Nicodemus about the absolute necessity of His own death on the cross. He reminds Nicodemus about the brass serpent that was lifted up by Moses in the wilderness, and tells him that Christ Himself would be lifted up in the same way. This reference to the Old Testament event involving the brass serpent shines a light upon Calvary in a way that Nicodemus would have understood, and that we ought to try to understand as well. Join us today as we see the clear connection between the two events, and learn some precious truths about Christ’s death on the cross.
