    True faith is not stagnant; it is a continual journey from the foundational principles toward spiritual maturity.

    Brothers and sisters, imagine a master builder who is about to construct a great and glorious temple. He spends weeks, even months, digging deep, laying a massive, strong foundation.

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Nov 16, 2025
     | 79 views

    The story of Genesis 4 calls us to check our hearts, to deal with anger and jealousy, and to worship God sincerely. It also assures us that no matter how dark sin becomes, God’s mercy shines brighter. He still speaks, still warns, still forgives, and still calls us to return to Him.

    Genesis Chapter 4: The First Family and the Birth of Violence Introduction Genesis chapter 4 continues the story of humanity after the fall. It introduces the first family born outside the Garden of Eden—Adam, Eve, and their two sons, Cain and Abel. This chapter reveals how quickly sin spread ...read more

    The reason we’re following this series on the prayers of St Paul is first because if we’re going to pray to God, then it’s good to know something about the God we’re praying to.
