    The book of Ruth is more than just a love story—it’s a powerful picture of our redemption story. Throughout these chapters, we see faith, redemption, and God’s providence beautifully at work. Ruth’s bold trust and Boaz’s integrity lead to a story of restoration and grace. Through their obedience, God not only redeems their circumstances but also weaves Ruth into the lineage of David, leading to the birth of Jesus. This story powerfully reveals the unchanging faithfulness of God, even in the midst of brokenness.

  • THE UNSEEN: Guard Your Heart (A Series in Spiritual Warfare)
    Oct 19 2025

    Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - ​Ephesians 6:14 (James 4:7 & 17; Ephesians 2:1; 6:10 & 13-14; Titus 3:5; Isaiah 45:19; 64:6; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 10:9-10; Matthew 5:8 & 28; 12:34; Psalm 23:3 & 6; 51:10; 139:23-24; Proverbs 3:5-6; 4:23; 1 Corinthians 6:18; 1 John 1:9)

    In this unseen battle against the darkness, we are constantly under attack. Our enemy is watching us, looking for our weaknesses—waiting for his opportunity to attack. Remember, he is strategic! God has given us all that we need to protect us against the enemy’s attacks. The second item of our armor is the breastplate of righteousness. Its purpose is to guard the heart. Satan targets our hearts, and his weapon is sin. We have been given the gift of righteousness by our righteous God. When we stand in the righteousness of God, we stand strong in the power of His might!

    Series description:

    We serve the living God—He is alive, active, and working in the world today! This is a truth we celebrate and stand on. But we must also acknowledge another reality: we have an enemy who is also alive, active, and at work.

    There is an unseen war happening around us every day. Satan’s attacks aren’t always visible, but they’re deeply felt—through broken lives, damaged marriages, and chains of addiction, anxiety, and depression.

    Do you know your enemy? Do you know who you are in Christ? Do you know what God has already given you to stand firm and fight back?

    You don’t have to live in defeat. God has equipped you with everything you need to stand your ground and live in victory. The Unseen is real—but we are on the winning side.

    Have you ever hit bottom? Not talking about having a bad day, or a bad week, but when everything is falling apart. Naomi had hit bottom! She had lost her husband and her two sons. She was poor, alone, and broken. There is a theme or a word woven into this part of the story. The word "return" keeps popping up! The word "return" in the Bible deals with the idea of getting things right. We run from God, but God leads us back to Him through repentance. Naomi returns to her home land, empty. This is not the end of the story for her! And it’s not the end of yours either.

  • THE UNSEEN: Stay Focused on the Fight (A Series in Spiritual Warfare)
    Oct 5 2025

    Pastor Matt Hodge (Discipleship Pastor) - 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 (2 Corinthians 3:5-6; 4:1-6; 5:7; 10:1-10 & 12-16; 12:7-10; Matthew 11:28-30; Ephesians 4:26-27; 1 Corinthians 3:3-7; Philippians 2:9-11)

    The Christian life is a battle, but it’s not fought with human weapons. In 2 Corinthians 10:1–6, Paul reminds us that our standard is Jesus, our strength comes from God, and our mission is to faithfully proclaim the Gospel. In this message, we’ll unpack how Paul turned criticism into an opportunity to point believers back to Christ, why spiritual strongholds like false philosophies and entrenched lies can only be torn down through God’s power, and how we can live in obedience while waiting for the final victory of Christ. Don’t get distracted by comparison or self-promotion! Instead stay focused on the fight, trust His power, and proclaim the truth that brings real freedom.

  • THE UNSEEN: Stand on Truth (A Series in Spiritual Warfare)
    Sep 28 2025

    Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - ​Ephesians 6:13-14 (Ephesians 6:13-14; James 1:22; John 8:32; 14:6; 16:13; 17:17; 18:38; Proverbs 16:25; Romans 3:4)

    Do you ever feel frustrated scrolling through social media, trying to figure out what’s real? Clickbait headlines, AI-generated images, and misleading content are everywhere. It’s easy to feel lost in a sea of confusion and lies. But deep down, we all crave one thing: truth. In spiritual warfare, the first piece of armor God tells us to put on is the belt of truth. It comes first because truth defeats the lies of Satan. Without it, nothing else holds together. So ask yourself: Do you know the truth? Are you living by the truth of God’s Word? If we want to stand firm in the battle, we have to start with absolute truth.
