Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - John 10 (John 10:1-9, 15 & 28; Psalm 23:4)
Most of us are visual learners—images help truth stick. A good illustration can make all the difference in how we understand and remember a message. Jesus knew this, and He often taught with vivid pictures that connected deeply with His listeners. One of His most powerful illustrations is that of a shepherd. This simple, relatable image not only moved the hearts of those who first heard it, but it continues to speak to us today—revealing both timeless truth and a beautiful glimpse into the heart of our incredible God.
Series description:
Have you ever experienced something that completely threw you off because it was so different from what you expected?
When we read the Gospels, it's easy to wonder why so many people rejected Jesus. Why didn’t they recognize Him as the Messiah and worship Him?
The truth is—everything about Jesus was unexpected. From the way He entered the world—born to poor parents and laid in a manger—to the way He loved and forgave sinners, outcasts, and even enemies.
The Gospel of John is especially unique because it highlights the surprising, counter-cultural things Jesus said and did. It shows us a Savior who pursued personal relationships with the most unlikely people.
Through John’s account, we’re invited to take a journey and experience the unexpected grace and love of Jesus—a love that still transforms lives today.
