Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Psalm 23:1-4 (Psalm 23:1-4; Isaiah 53:6; James 1:8; Matthew 16:18)   As we begin a new year, we like the idea of a fresh start. This is a new year, with new opportunities to start things off right and to make things better. Out of all the New Year's resolutions we can make, the book of Psalms gives us one that is the foundation to everything else. If we get this...

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Isaiah 9:6 (Isaiah 9:6; Luke 2:13)   Christmas is all about Jesus! We love to celebrate this time of year with parties, gifts, and fun decorations.  Like the song says, "It's the most wonderful time of year!" This is so true because Jesus is called Wonderful in the book of Isaiah. He is the reason this season is filled with awe and wonder! Christmas means so much...

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Jonah 4 (Jonah 4:1-11; Romans 8:28)   The book of Jonah does not end the way you would expect it to end. After Jonah preaches to the city of Nineveh, they repent and turn to God. This sounds like a victory, but Jonah does not see it that way. Jonah gets angry with God for showing mercy to the enemy. How do we respond to God when He does things we think is unfair?...

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Hebrews 12:1-2 (Hebrews 12:1-2; Romans 10:17; Philippians 1:6)   The truth about living by faith is...we don’t have what it takes. This is why we try and try and end up failing. So what is the answer? The answer is simple, you must start with the author of faith. Who is the author of our faith? Who sustains our faith? Who gives us the endurance to keep going when...

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Hebrews 11:32-40 (Hebrews 11:32-40; Judges 4:8-9; 6:13; 13:24-25; 15:20; 16:1; Psalms 51:10; Genesis 3:17-18; Job 14:1; John 15:4; 16:33; Galatians 6:7-8; James 1:3; Philippians 1:20)   We always associate living by faith as victory, which it is, but victory does not always come in the way that we think. Hebrews tells us the stories of faith being lived out in th...

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Jonah 3 (Jonah 3:1-10; Ephesians 2:1; Luke 12:48; 19:10-13; Isaiah 55:11; Hebrews 4:12; Jeremiah 23:29)   When we run from God, we make a mess! When we surrender to God, He not only restores us, but God uses us to do great things for His glory. Jonah goes from running to revival! The revival that takes place was not because of Jonah, but because of the powerful m...

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Hebrews 11: (Hebrews 11:2, 6 & 30-31; Joshua 2:1-4, 9-13 & 18; Romans 5:8; Titus 3:5; Ephesians 2:8)   Is anyone too far gone to be reached by God? We will naturally say, "No." But often times we stop praying for people or stop witnessing because we feel as if they are a lost cause. One of the last stories of faith in Hebrews 11 might surprise you. It is...

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Jonah 3 (Jonah 1:1-2; 2:2, 4, 7 & 9-10; 3:1-3; Romans 10:14-15; Genesis 2:7; Jeremiah 1:5; Psalms 51:12; 139:13-14; 1 Corinthians 6:20)   Jonah ran from God, but he got nowhere. We have free will to run from God, but it never pays off. Jonah eventually hit bottom, but God met him at his lowest point. Jonah experiences the grace of God! God restored Jonah afte...

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Hebrews 11:23-29 (Psalms 13:1; Hebrews 11:23-29; Acts 7:22; Exodus 6:3; 12:13; 13:17; 14:3-4, 10-16, 21-24, 26-28 & 31; 15:1-3; Deuteronomy 9:3; Romans 8:28)   Have you ever been in a situation where you are just stuck? No matter what you do, there is no way out. We struggle in situations like this because we feel as if God doesn't care. We think, "If God car...

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Ephesians 5:19-20 (Ephesians 5:19-20; Psalm 34:3; 69:30; 98:4)   Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks. We take time to focus on the many blessings in our lives. We give God the credit for the good in our lives, but how do you show gratitude to God? How do we say, "Thank you" to the creator of everything? The answer is actually very simple.

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Jonah 2 (Jonah 1:9 & 15-17; 2:1-10)   Have you ever felt stuck? Like nothing is working out and you just want to give up? This is exactly how Jonah felt in chapter two…stuck! The good thing is, God was at work! God uses the times that we feel stuck to get our attention. We might be waiting on God to change our situation, but God is working on us to change our...

The Bible is very clear on the signs of the End Times! We know that we should definitely keep our eyes on Israel, but what else? What about...

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Jonah 1 (2 Timothy 1:7; Jonah 1:1-17)   When we think of Jonah, we think of the guy that ran from God and got swallowed by a whale. There is nothing wrong with this thought, because it is what happened. Have you stopped to think of why Jonah ran from God? He loved God, so why wouldn't he just obey. The truth is because Jonah struggled with something that we all s...

Pastor Chris Andrews (Associate Pastor) - Philippians 2 (Philippians 2:1-8; Matthew 26:39)   Let's get real about our own selfish tendencies.

Discover the amazi...

Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Hebrews 11:8-19 (Hebrews 11:8-19; Genesis 12:1-3; 22:1-5 & 8-19)   Most of us know how to make a plan and then work the plan. In life, we need a map to follow, we need instructions that will help make the pieces make sense. But sometimes life doesn't make sense. What do you do when God calls you to do something but it goes against logic and emotions. What do...
