Born Again: Jesus, Nicodemus, and the True Meaning of John 3:16 In this episode, Pastor Michael Bayne takes us beyond the well-known words of John 3:16 and brings us into the heart of Jesus’ late-night conversation with Nicodemus. What does it really mean to be “born again”? Is faith just about knowing the right things or working harder, or is there something deeper God desires for us?

In Week 3 of 'A People Who Pray,' Pastor Michael reminds us that God's blessing in our lives is not an endpoint—it's a pathway meant to overflow for the good of others through intentional, intercessory prayer. How much of your prayer life is focused on the people around you rather than just yourself? Listen to the message, share it with someone who needs this reminder, and let us know in the comments how God is calling you to pray for others! Text: Psalm 67 Speaker: Michael Bayne
