Risking It All For Jesus | Ep. 179 | Thursday October 12, 2023
What are you willing to risk to be associated with Jesus? Nicodemus, the rule-keeping super-religious leader, laid it all on the line by publicly partaking in the burial of Jesus. When the other disciples fled, Nicodemus carefully tended to the body of our Savior who paid the ultimate price for our sins on the cross. Tune in today as Pastor Mike unpacks this story.For more information, visit lakepointe.church/dailydrive

Jesus wants to connect with people and help them understand His truth. With Nicodemus, Jesus points to well-known stories from the Old Testament and explains how He is the fulfillment of them all.
