A New Creation in Salvation: Understanding Our Transformation in Christ

Pastor Josh discusses the importance of focusing on spiritual rather than material aspects, rejecting sin, and walking in newness of life. He also highlights the necessity of regeneration, the renewing of the mind, and ongoing spiritual growth.
