Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - I John 3:14-18 (1 John 2:6; 3:1, 11, 14, 16-18 & 24; 13:34-35; Romans 8:16; Philippians 2:4-5 & 7-8; Matthew 5:40-44; 9:36; Hebrews 10:24)
Have you ever been afraid of something? We all have things in our lives that consume our minds and cause us to have that overwhelming feeling called fear. In First John chapter 4, John explains the power of God's love that removes fear from our heart.
We don't have to fear the future. We don't have to fear hell or the judgement to come. Jesus has already conquered our sin, so there is no fear of these things when we know God! Fear may hold power, but it is no match for the power of God's love!
Series description:
What motivates you? What drives you in life? One of the most powerful emotions and forces in life is love!
The truth is, love is powerful! Love can change your life and the lives of those around you. Not the “love” we see in movies, this goes way deeper than that! True love is powerful because true love comes from God. We think we understand love because of what we see and experience in the world around us, but true love, God’s love is so different!
Are you ready to discover true love that can draw you closer to God, heal relationships, and transform every aspect of your life? Let’s go on a journey together to understand this kind of love. Join us as we study the book of first John to discover the power of God’s love!
