MESSAGE:
The nature of man is sinful. It has been so since the fall of our first parents Adam and Eve. We struggle to do the right things and we also try to please God, but our strength is not enough. It is only the grace which comes after genuine salvation through the blood of Jesus that can make us totally free from the bondage and nature of sin.
