Derek Thomas: A Living Hope

Many people place their hope in things that cannot meet their needs such as sports, politics, education, work, or even family and friends. This session will focus on 1 Peter 1:1-8 to explain what it means to be “born again” and why only the gospel of Jesus Christ provides true, lasting hope for Christians.

I thank Jesus so much for giving us this precious teacher/preacher of His word....even if he does sound like Christopher Walken. Oh yea, and say "hi" to my dear friend Jon Hoggatt.

John 3:3 - begotten* in order to see* (2 Corinthians 5:17 generated into a new creation; 2 Corinthians 1:21- anointed with the power; Ephesians 1:18 to have eyes of understanding; illuminated; to to "see" the kingdom. To see the John 14:6, Way to the Truth that leads to the Life. In stages of growth: babe...to young man ...to full age - 2 Corinthians 3:18 -> 2 Corinthians 4:6, 7 -> Matthew 25:4 the oil of love in the earthen vessel. So that John 3:5, one may "enter" the kingdom in the spirit. Or born into a new environment.
