Exegetical Point: Homiletic Point: Intro What do you believe in? And I don’t mean in the sense of coffee being better than tea, or Holden being better than Ford, or dogs over cats. We’re not talking about preferences, I’m asking what are your operating assumptions about the world? What beliefs drive…

“B” a Becoming Christian Two weeks ago I talked about an all-in commitment to being identified with Jesus of Nazareth, no matter what: Will you be an “N”?
