His basic complaint, "I don’t understand." The reply of Christ is the basis for today’s outline. Nicodmus there are many things that ...read more

No matter who you are, no matter where you have been, no matter what you are trying to do, you just need, sometimes a fresh start, a new beginning. Trying to fix things the way they are won’t work; you need sometimes to ...read more
