March 22, 2026 - You Can't Do This On Your Own - Dr. Tony Valenti

Pastor Tony explores Ephesians 4:25-32, emphasizing the central “big idea” that followers of Christ must live like they know Jesus. Rather than presenting a “do better” sermon based on moralism, he explains that believers are saved by the Son and empowered by the Spirit to undergo a genuine heart change that is impossible to achieve through self-effort alone. The message highlights a practical list of behaviors to transform, urging the church to speak the truth, handle anger righteously and temporarily, and stop saying hurtful things in favor of words that build others up. Ultimately, Pastor Tony challenges listeners to put down the heavy weights of bitterness, wrath, and malice, replacing them with kindness and tender-hearted forgiveness as a reflection of the grace God has already extended to us.
