Scripture: John 3:13-17; Numbers 21:8-9 Series: 2022
A brief sermon outline closing the ‘Lost & Found’ series with the theme of being ‘Found.’ It centers on John 3:13-17, drawing on the typology of Moses lifting up the bronze serpent in the wilderness to interpret the Human One being lifted up so that all who believe have eternal life. The emphasis falls on God’s love for the world and that the Son came to save rather than judge. The note includes a planned application connecting the message to the congregation’s Barefoot Sunday and its ministries.

Lost & Found: Found
No one has gone up to heaven except the one who came down from heaven, the Human One. Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so must the Human One be lifted up so that everyone who believes in him will have eternal life. God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him won’t perish but will have eternal life. God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through him. John 3:13-17
