  1. ELISHA | Do You Really Know Jesus? | Joe Angelo

    Do you really know Jesus, or do you just know about Him? We live in a world where we can know everything about someone without ever having a relationship with them.

  7. Stop Letting Your Past Tell You Who You Are | Joe Angelo

    What happened to you is part of your story. It doesn't get to become your identity.

Jesus called Peter and Andrew with three movements: FOLLOW ME → I WILL MAKE...

    What kind of peace are you looking for? In John 14:27, Jesus makes a powerful promise: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives."
