f)               Ephesians 2:6. The New Life in Christ now manifested. Fallen in Adam, now Redeemed in Christ.

‘The House Of God Needs To Be Built Well.’
Matthew 7:27.

1-           The rains fall.
2-           The rivers rise.
3-           The winds blow.
4-           The winds beat on the house.
