The Nature Of The New Birth

John 3:1-16
We are going to begin reading in verse one, John chapter three. If you did not bring a Bible with you, look in the pew racks and there you will find a Bible. John chapter three.

It has been pointed out that there are a number of different kingdoms. The lower kingdom is what we would call the mineral that is, the minerals, the rocks and things that are placed in mother earth. That's the lowest stratum, that's the lowest kingdom. And then above that is a higher kingdom that we would call the vege ...
