Study the New Birth This Summer

Summer is a great time to set our minds on things above. One way to do that this summer is to study the new birth with your small group or church fellowship using Pastor John's book Finally Alive. We have a free study guide that can help you lead the discussion.


Why would a focus on the new birth be profitable study?



The reason I want you to know what happened to you in your new birth and others to know what must yet happen to them is threefold:


1) When you are truly born again and grow in the grace and knowledge of what the Lord has done for you, your fellowship with God will be sweet, and your assurance that he is your Father will be deep. I want that for you.


2) If God would be pleased to bring this kind of awakening to his church, then the world will get the real deal of radical love and sacrifice and courage from the church and not all these fake Christians that live just like the world.


3) If you know what really happened to you in your new birth, you will treasure God and his Spirit and his Son and his word more highly than you ever have. And he will be glorified. So those are some of the reasons why we are focusing on the new birth.
