     | 207 views

    This sermon contrasts Abel's faith-based worship with Cain's self-reliant religion, demonstrating how a life of true faith earns God's approval and creates an eternal legacy that still speaks of righteousness today.

After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

     | 30 views

    John 3:16 reveals a love that gives before we act, inviting weary believers to stop striving, receive grace, and rest in God.
