The First Hinderances For Spiritual Growth: Having Not Been Born Again (1) Series

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 17, 2021

I defined spiritual growth in terms of "being conformed to the image of His Son" Christian activities or ministries wouldn't guarantee spiritual growth, unless one has the spiritual life, to begin with. One has to be born again to start and grow in spiritual life.

The four most common hindrances for Spiritual Growth. 1. Having not been born again by Barnabas Park Romans 8:29: For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren; Beginning today, I would like to share ...read more

Our Father In Heaven - The Lord's Prayer - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 30, 2020

Our Father in Heaven, Holy Is Your Name. How do we start our our prayers? Do we just rush right in without acknowledging Who we are addressing. Do we come with gratitude and with reverence and awe? Or do we just barge right in with demands?
