We each have been given talents and gift from the Lord. What are you good at? How can we use that for the glory of God and building His Kingdom and not our own. As we look at the story of Bezalel and his grandpa, Hur, we see that using your gifts for God's glory has a lasting impact. "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is theLord Christ you are serving." Colossians 3:23-24

This message explores Jesus' challenging teaching urging believers to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them. Through Old Testament examples, personal stories, and biblical context, it highlights how this radical love transforms not only our relationships but primarily the condition of our hearts. The teaching emphasizes that forgiveness and love are intentional choices, not mere feelings, and that prayer plays a crucial role in breaking cycles of hatred and bitterness.Main Scripture:  Matthew 5:44-48Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

Most people think following Jesus is about getting to heaven.Jesus had something much bigger in mind.When Jesus called His first disciples, He didn't simply invite them into a relationship—He immediately gave them a mission:“Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of people.”In this opening message of our “Wait…What?” series, we explore one of Jesus' most challenging truths:Rescued people were never meant to become spectators. They were meant to become rescuers.Main Scripture:  Matthew 4:18–22; Matthew 10:8; John 20:21Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

In part 5 of Childhood Vows, we discover that Gideon wasn't just hiding from the Midianites—he was hiding from the identity he had accepted about himself.Many of us are still living under childhood lies:• “I'm not enough.”• “I have to earn love.”• “I'm a failure.”• “God has abandoned me.”These beliefs quietly shape our relationships, our confidence, our faith, and our future.But God never intended your childhood wounds to become your lifelong identity.Main Scripture: Judge 6Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

In Part 3 of Childhood Vows, Pastor Mark Bonilla shares how a divided mindset can lead to a controlling heart instead of a trusting heart. From comparison, not enough, good enough attitudes we learn how to control and manipulate people and situations to create our desired outcomes instead of trusting which leads to the best outcome.  These “childhood vows” shape who we are and many times we don't realize they are taking place. They affect relationships, marriage, parenting, confidence, and even your relationship with God.Through the story of Martha and Mary we see how a divided mindset does not allow us to see the very best in a situation. However, it is not until Martha finally sees Jesus for who he really is ‘Messiah, Son of God, Teacher that he mindset shifts and she can find true peace.  This message exposes the lie behind the lie that “busyness is progress”.

Through the story of Leah in Genesis, we see how striving for love leads to exhaustion, misinterpretation of blessings, and a lifetime of comparison.

You're not broken. You're living by scripts that were written long before you understood what they mean.Every one of us enters adulthood carrying beliefs formed in moments of rejection, fear, disappointment, criticism, neglect, or pain. What began as survival mechanisms in childhood often become invisible scripts that shape our relationships, decisions, identity, and view of God.Through the life of Moses, Pastor Armando Palazzo reveals how God meets us in the middle of our wounds, challenges the lies we've believed, and invites us into a new future defined by His truth.Main Scripture: Exodus 3Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

In Part 5 of our ADVANCE series, we explore a powerful truth about spiritual warfare that many believers have never considered.Most Christians think spiritual warfare is primarily defensive.

As a typology, their marriage serves as a living illustration: Gomer represents the wandering church, while Hosea represents a God whose love is relentless. The core message?

In Part 1 of our new series, Love That Won't Quit, we step into one of the most unsettling stories in the Bible—the story of Hosea and Gomer. This is not a romantic love story. It's a revelation of covenant love, redemptive love, and a God who relentlessly pursues people who keep running away.Main Scripture: Hosea 1:2-3, Hosea 4:12, Colossians 3:5, Romans 1:24-25, 1 Corinthians 6:18-19Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

In this message, Pastor Mark Bonilla explores the "health epidemic" of isolation, noting that social disconnection carries a health risk equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. He proposed that the only remedy is authentic biblical community. You will learn:True community requires looking intently at each other, not just passing by.Like an egg must be broken and moved vigorously to change state, we must allow others to "irritate" our status quo for growth.It isn't just praying "for" someone; it's walking "with" them and literally lightening their load.You don't sharpen a knife with a rag. You need "no-people" and challengers who are stronger or wiser to hone your character.Main Scripture: Hebrews 10:24, Galatians 6:2, Proverbs 27:17Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

We all want a new year to feel different.But most change doesn't fail because of a lack of desire.It fails because of a lack of positioning.Jesus didn't say try harder.He said draw nearer.Fasting isn't about punishment.It's about clarity.It's not about what you give up. It's about what you make room for.This year doesn't begin with louder goals.It begins with healthier habits.With prayer.With surrender.With leaning into God at your inflection point.Some breakthroughs don't come from effort.They come from alignment.This is my year because this is my posture.Not a diet. Not a trend.A posture of surrender.Who's fasting something this week?Main Scripture: Luke 2:11-20; Philippians 2:3; Proverbs 4:20-22; Genesis 12:1-4; Nehemiah 8:10; John 3:16Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

This message confronts the deeply held belief many people carry that they are disqualified from God's love, purpose, or calling due to their past, their pain, or their perceived inadequacy. Mary's story reminds us that God does not wait for us to feel worthy before He works through us. Instead, He meets us in our fear, speaks purpose over us, and invites us to trust Him with what feels impossible.This sermon reveals that God's grace does not ignore our unworthiness it overcomes it. The arrival of Jesus is proof that God draws near not to the impressive, but to the humble, the hesitant, and the unsure. Like Mary, we are invited to surrender our doubts and say yes to a God who makes us worthy through His presence.Main Scripture: Luke 1:26–38Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

Joy is not the product of circumstances; joy is the overflow of recognizing that God is already at work—even when what He's doing doesn't yet make sense. What do you do when life doesn't look like what you prayed for?

Jesus doesn't just bring peace — He is peace. True peace is not the absence of problems; it is the presence of Christ in them.Recognize why peace feels so elusive,Understand Jesus as the source of true biblical peace, andExperience peace in tangible ways through surrender and trust.
