The sermon delivered brother Paul Rosales and Pastor Justin Linton was a powerful call to revive hope, maintain transparency, and adopt a joyful warrior attitude during challenging times. They emphasized the importance of enduring the "death of a vision" until God breathes life into it in His timing. The message was both convicting and liberating, freeing us from the need to appear perfect while being perfected. These men drew inspiration from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German pastor who bravely stood against Nazism and paid the ultimate price for his faith. Bonhoeffer's life and teachings, particularly his book "The Cost of Discipleship," were highlighted as an example of paying the cost to follow Christ joyfully. The sermon concluded with a call to open wide our hearts in transparency and embrace the Sacred Charge of following Christ, despite the cost.
