You're Not Alone! (BEFORE I GO — The Final Teachings of Jesus)

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. BEFORE I GO: The Final Teachings of Jesus You're Not Alone! 1. The Spirit gives new life 2. The Spirit gives peace 3.

Better is Coming! (BEFORE I GO — The Final Teachings of Jesus)

Mar 800:39:57Tap to summarize

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - John 13 & 14:1-6 (John 13:17-18, 21, 27 & 33-38; 14:1-6; 1 Corinthians 15:26; Matthew 26:39; Revelation 21:3-5; Luke 13:5) Our world is filled with people who walk through life with troubled hearts. Life brings heartaches, disappointments, and problems that can weigh heavily on us. In the Gospel of John, chapter 13, Jesus humbly washes the disciples’ feet and then begins addressing several difficult realities they will soon face. By the time we come to chapter 14, the mood has shifted, and Jesus speaks directly to their troubled hearts. What He says next brings incredible hope. Maybe you are carrying a heavy heart today. If so, take comfort in the words of Jesus—there is hope, and things will get better. Series description: Jesus knew exactly when—and how—His life would end.

Salvation 101 — Introduction & Grace (Lesson 1)

Mar 500:43:32Tap to summarize

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Ephesians 2:8 (2 Timothy 1:9; 3:16; 4:3; Titus 1:9; 2:1 & 11; 3:5; John 1:14 & 16-17; 3:3-7; 16; 8:32; Romans 3:10 & 23-24; 5:8 & 12; 6:23; 8:29-34; 10:9 & 17; James 1:15; Revelation 20:14-15; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; Ephesians 2:4-5 & 8-9; Acts 3:19; 15:11; 16:30-31; 1 John 5:11-13; Matthew 14:14; 18:21-22; 20:1-15; Psalms 106:1; 107:1; Luke 4:22) We talk about being “saved.” But saved from what? Saved how? Saved by whom? Words like grace, mercy, repentance, justification, and sanctification fill our worship songs and prayers — but too often, they remain undefined. Salvation 101 is a deep dive into the doctrine of salvation — the foundation of the Christian faith. If salvation is the greatest gift we’ve ever received, shouldn’t we understand how it works? Before we go deeper, we go back to the basics. Because strong believers are built on solid foundations.

Born Again

Mar 100:25:11Tap to summarize

Gideon Sullivan (Student, Cedarville University) - John 3-4 (John 1:33; 2:24-25; 3:1-5, 13-21; 4:39; Ezekiel 36:26-27; Acts 19:4; Numbers 21:6-9; Daniel 7:13-14) "Born Again" will examine Nicodemus’ encounter with Christ and Christ’s puzzling response to Nicodemus’ statements. John 3 reveals integral truths about Christ’s role in the Biblical storyline and his atoning work through which believers lay hold of his covenant. It is in light of this encounter that we are given a life defining dilemma: believing in Christ’s Son or rejecting Him and accepting God’s condemnation.
