Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - John 1:6-8

 

When we think about missions, our minds often go to far-off places like Africa. But God’s mission begins much closer to home—right where we live and with the people we encounter every day. The Gospel of John gives us a clear and simple picture of how we can point others to the good news of Jesus.

Regret is one of the hardest feelings in life. You usually don’t feel it while you’re making the mess—you feel it afterward, when you look back and see the impact of your choices. By then, you can’t rewind. You can’t undo what’s been done. The truth is, our actions always have consequences—not just sometimes,...

Christmas truly is one of the most wonderful times of the year! And we know why—because we are celebrating the birth of our Savior.

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - ​Luke 1:28-35 (Luke 1:28-35 & 46-49; 2:19; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Matthew 1:21)

 

One of the traditions we enjoy at Christmas is setting out a nativity scene. We love the imagery—it reminds us of the very first Christmas. In the nativity, Mary stands smiling behind baby Jesus, Joseph looks on as a proud father, and the newborn Christ is wrapped neatly in swaddling clothes, resting perfectly in th...

Prayer may seem basic, b...

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - ​Luke 22:11-19 (Luke 22:11-19; Mark 14:26; Psalm 118:1 & 29)

 

There are many surprising moments in the Bible—stories that unfold in ways we wouldn’t expect. Before Jesus was arrested, mocked, beaten, and crucified, He chose to do one final, meaningful thing with His disciples: He gathered them around a table and shared communion with them. This moment is rich with truth. It teaches us grati...
