Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - John 14-16 (John 4:24; 14:12-14, 16-18 & 25-27; 16:1-4, 7-11 & 13; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Genesis 1:1-2 & 26; 1 John 5:7; Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 45:5; Matthew 7:16; 28:19; 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:20; 12:3; Galatians 5:22; Acts 1:8; 2 Peter 1:21; Romans 8:11; Ephesians 3:20)

On the night before the cross, Jesus gathered His disciples and prepared them for what was to come. Though He was about to leave, He promised they would not be alone. He told them the Comforter—the Holy Spirit—would come to dwell within them, guiding them, convicting them, and giving them peace. What an incredible promise!

In John 13–16, Jesus reveals that God would not only be for us, but also with us and in us. Because of this, we are never alone.

Series description:

Jesus knew exactly when—and how—His life would end. On the night before the cross, He gathered with His disciples for one final meal. But this was more than a supper. It was a moment of preparation.

Knowing the suffering that awaited Him, Jesus chose to spend His final hours teaching—not crowds, not strangers, but the ones He loved. These were not casual words. They were intentional. Urgent. Eternal. In John 13–16, we hear the heart of Jesus. His love, His compassion, His mission, and His promises.

These are His final teachings before He took on our sin and endured the cross. And though spoken long ago, these words still speak powerfully today—shaping how we live, love, serve, and follow Him.

Before He went to the cross, Jesus made sure we knew what mattered most.
