In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of truly listening to and following God's teachings. Drawing from Matthew 7:24-29, we explore the parable of the wise and foolish builders.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the crucial role fathers play in shaping not just their families, but society as a whole. The central theme revolves around being a 'Spirit-filled dad,' drawing inspiration from the book of Acts and the early church.
