Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 29, 2019

This is a message that looks at what it means to be born again in a little different way.

What does it mean to be born again? As I thought about this, I tried to think of something, an analogy that would help us see how understanding what it means to be born again is crucial to how we are supposed to live as sons and daughters of God. But I couldn’t think of an analogy that would be ...read more

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 23, 2022

Comparing and contrasting friendship evangelism, with power evangelism. Also, Spirit wisdom, vs. human wisdom.
