The Call: Week 2


For those of you reading along in the devotional book this week we begin to examine Jesus' command to Nicodemus: "You Must be Born Again." You will notice the devotionals will shift a bit.

Last week was filled with stories of transformation that challenged us to respond to God's call to "Grow Up." This week we will look at the idea of "regeneration" or being born again. We will explore what this vital doctrine means and how this new birth functions in our lives.

We will look at these six ideas:
Monday - God Does the Work
Tuesday - New Life to the Dead
Wednesday - Through the Hearing of the Gospel
Thursday - The Freedom to Stop Sinning
Friday - An Appetite for Righteousness
Saturday - Overcoming the World

I look forward to you comments as we explore this core doctrine of our faith.

Combine Sunday mornings, small groups, and the book itself, and "The Call" is packing quite a punch for this Christian. I attend the Roberts' small group in Normal, and our discussions there have been great. / One thing we talked about was the term "regeneration" (in lieu of "born again"), which implies that Christian maturity is more of a process rather than an instant fix. And see - it's little tidbits like that which I love. Thank you, Holy Spirit.
