Nic at Night
April 26, 2026
He had every credential. Every answer. Every religious box checked. And yet something kept him up at night — restless, questioning, unsettled — until he finally decided to go find Jesus himself.
Nicodemus wasn't a skeptic. He was the most religious man in the room. And that's exactly what made his encounter with Jesus so disorienting.
In this message, Pastor Rich Johnson takes us into one of the most famous conversations in all of Scripture — and challenges us to see it with completely fresh eyes. Because this isn't just Nicodemus's story. It's the story of anyone who has ever trusted more in their religion than in an actual encounter with Jesus. Anyone whose faith has stopped surprising them. Anyone who is still bringing their questions everywhere except directly to the source.
In this message you'll learn:
- Why the most religious people are often the hardest to reach with the gospel
- What Jesus actually meant by "born again" — and why the Western church may have gotten it wrong
- Why Nicodemus came to Jesus at night — and what that says about the questions we're too afraid to ask in public
- The 6 core longings underneath every question we bring to God
- Why John 3:17 may be the most important verse you've never memorized
- What the slow work of God actually looks like in a person's life — and what eventually happened to Nicodemus
Whether you've been following Jesus for decades or you're still sneaking up to him at night with questions you're not sure are allowed, this message is for you. Because Jesus isn't waiting for you to have it all figured out. He's ready to meet you right where you are.
