This week we find ourselves in the late night conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus. We see the pharisees struggle to understand, and we see in a fresh light the key that Jesus hands him to unlock the meaning of his words. That key is an obscure story from the Old Testament. But in it we see the meaning of Jesus' words. http://www.willamettecommunity.com/sermon/silly-snakes-foolish-cross http://www.willamettecommunity.com/mediafiles/silly-snakes-foolish-cross.mp3 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 17:50:20 CST Adam Hendrix Journey to the Cross 54:15 Zach Bayer brings a passionate message about Jesus' "Journey to the Cross".
