A bed sheet with text and/or artwork used as a visual aid to a preacher's sermon. Using John 3:3-8 as a key text the preacher uses this sermon chart to discuss physical and spiritual birth, noting that a "coming out of" water is as natural for spiritual birth as it is for physical birth. Accordingly, for any "new birth" to be valid, a person must experience baptism following faith, repentance and confession. Further, just as physical birth does not produce "full grown" persons, so spiritual "babes" are to grow by obedience to law.
