Glory of God 01.09.2019 ↓

John wrote that when a person sees Jesus, he or she sees the Father’s glory. But the glory of God didn’t manifest itself the way we might expect. God’s glory wasn’t manifest in bright light, power, or strength. God’s glory was manifest in meekness, humility, love, selflessness.

By This All People Will Know 25.08.2019 ↓

Born of the Spirit 30.06.2019 ↓

Jesus taught that being part of the kingdom requires being reborn, by the water and the Spirit. The “water” almost certainly refers to baptism, but in this lesson we focus on what it means to be reborn, or “born again,” by the Spirit.
