BUILD HIS CHURCH
In Matthew 16, Jesus tells us He will build HIS Church and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. This word still holds true some two millennia later. In this collection of talks, we will unpack what it means for us, as believers, to rely on Jesus’ promise to build HIS Church and what this means for us as His Church in this world!

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. We see through this message that genuine love is demonstrated through actions, not just words. Listen and be challenged.
