In Week 1 of our new collection of talks entitled, "Build His Church", Pastor Christian Vélez emphasizes God's command to love one another, not as a mere suggestion, but an essential obligation. The Great Commission is a responsibility for all Christians to share the Gospel and his sermon challenges the convenience of our modern lives, as we're urged to love our neighbors and consider their needs as we do our own.

In the final week of The Paradox of The Cross, Pastor Samson preaches about the power of vulnerability and the strength found in God's grace. Just as the apostle Paul faced a "thorn in the flesh" and sought God's help, we too encounter challenges that leave us feeling weak and vulnerable. Sometimes, God's response may not be what we expect, but His grace is always sufficient and our weaknesses become a platform for His strength to shine through. Pastor Samson reminds us, when we feel weak, that's when we're strongest in God's eyes. Listen and be challenged.
