I never get tired of hearing the Gospel. Although my Salvation was settled a few months ago, I still love to raise my hand, sitting at home... because I finally did understand it and it gives me such peace and joy. I raise my hand to Jesus. I will forever. Thanks Pastor :)
There was a time when this theology was the most common in the West - 40 to 50 years ago. Now, it seems to be split between works based, stiff upper lip Calvinists and the terribly shallow health wealth and prosperity gospel that so many fall for. Listening to this Bible based pastor from South Africa and very thankful for it.
Selfishly as I have started a family rather recently I don't want this to happen anytime soon. Then I think as much as I want to stay and be with my family Jesus wants to be with us even more and that gives me comfort.
How about resting in Christ now, knowing you are all together, either living for Him right now or looking toward the future with Him? I'm resting bc my immediate family is saved. I'm speaking daily when I get an opportunity to ask "What do people *do* who don't have the Hope of Christ?" Their answer indicates whether they are saved and I get to proclaim his marvelous and mighty works. Your family is here, and will be with for all eternity. May that thought comfort you!
Amen. May the Lord help me live as I should to show His lordship and may He have mercy and bring the rest of my family to salvation before He returns, and before the horrors of the tribulation begin in full strength. In Jesus's name Amen.
Thankyou so much it light on biblical truth its amazing i really appreciate what you brought up i was in darkness im glad ive had my eyes open.thank you so much may Lord bless you ❤
Whats really refreshing is when I open my UA-cam channel your videos are the first ones suggesting in my feed. What a wonderful way to start the day. I don't know if it makes a difference but being an Italian myself I get your humor. Lol Sometimes you don't know where you're going either... That can definitely be interpreted in various ways but since you're a pastor although funny maybe not the best analogy... 🤣 Thank you so much for what you do. Now that I'm FINALLY understanding the true gospel it's really making a difference in my life. I'm thinking of getting a shirt made up that says : JUST SAY NO TO CALVINISM !!!! God Bless
BINGO. At about 23:00 into the study, Dr. Cucuzza talks about reformers quoting their church fathers. I have seen this myself on Twitter (X) where these people are quoting, John Knox, Spurgeon, Calvin, Augustine, and more. They pray the Psalms like their lives depend upon it.
Oh how I would love to be part of a church like yours. Such solid Biblical teaching is so hard to find where I live in South Africa. I am grateful for your ministry.
Hi Lynn-there aren’t as many here in the US as there use to be. People are having a difficult time finding churches who aren’t Calvinistic in doctrine. It has happened to the church that I have attended for 43 years-(half of my life👵🏻). The one thing I have been thankful for about the Covid lock down has finding some awesome on line churches that do preach and teach the Gospel and the Rapture. I just found this Pastor this week- he popped up on my UA-cam because I had been watching several non Calvinistic teachings. I really like his teaching-solid and understandable. See you in Heaven!
@patsydanec7864 Patsy, I had to read this twice to see if I wrote it! If I put this church into my GPS it is 59 minutes from my door. I discovered Dr. Cucuzza just 2 weeks ago through his interview with Jesse Martinez. My whole life, I've been a beaten sheep and 3 years ago, I then got abused and whipped more severely when I turned to the Calvary Chapel teachers who hadn't closed down, thinking they knew truth!? Beating the tithe into me, and then the serving, and then getting plugged in, because of course if you're saved, you would want to do all these things to show people that you're saved. At age 57, I am renewing my mind sometimes minute-by-minute, knowing that I am beloved and accepted by God because I'm wearing Jesus Christ' robe of righteousness. That is the only way that I (and anyone else) can get into heaven.
I can't find joy in my salvation, because my children, and grandchildren are lost! I'm so sad and heartbroken over this. What do I do? I pray constantly for their salvation😭
Same here not sure if my parents are saved (I hope they are) bc theyre attending an LS church. Most people in our country believe in works for salvation both protestant or catholic denomination and they'll bite you the second you tell them salvation is by grace through faith alone. Tje Christian walk is a lonely walk indeed. Praying for you.
Call me dumb but I rather have God wait it out for a very very long time before His Return; I am more concern about getting the Gospel out and more people's souls being saved; our lives are just a BLINK, and I see and hear people hoping God will return now! Why? Is it because of what I WANT, what we want, the comfort to be with Him; totally understand that, but there are people who need to hear the Gospel; lets go out and tell others; I promise our lives are just a blink, and we will be with God before we know it, guarantee; plus, we know the ending, its call the Book of Revelation; I just think at times we are SO selfish, and its about me me me
Truth of the Word of God confirms the Word of God, Enoch was not for he was taken from the Earth, God has done this before. Harpazo in the Greek, means it is the catching away TRUE...
Two things you said in other sermons really stuck with me. Try to understand you may have said one 3 years ago and the other may have been more recent. 1. If it is not eternal in nature then it is not a true priority. 2. There should always be an evaluation of what we are doing and why we are doing it. Regardless of when I think about it like this, what is Satan's sole purpose on this Earth? He already fell in the beginning of time which sealed his destination at the end. He has no possible hope or way for any type of salvation nor do any of his demons. The way I see it his only purpose is to trick as many of us into going to hell with him as he can. What other purpose on this Earth could he possibly have other than to tempt us and trick us into not believing in God, the Bible, Jesus or the cross. Put that all together and it's basically what this life is all about with an infinite number of scenarios because Satan and the demons have been playing this game forever. This may be a weird way of thinking but then consider the book of Revelation. I try to look at it from a demon's perspective because they're fate is also sealed. If the Bible is true demons can see and hear EVERYTHING human beings are doing but we can't see them. If a thing called demon worship is really true then these demons can even interact with humans on quite a personal level. So ask yourselves this question, with the way demons are watching us like a fly on the wall how long would it take to figure a person out? Then in a rather short period of time a concocted scheme could be created to take that person down. If this is truly a war then I would have to assume these demons are working together which means they could bring other people into this scenario and so on. AKA the world we live in. This is why we should always wear the full armor of God at all times. ALWAYS think hard on #1 and #2 before stepping one step out the door because it could be a bear trap. This is happening all around us and to be honest through electronic technology we don't even have to leave the house. You also talked about the electronic age and other sermons and I believe it's one of Satan's most powerful tools because it can reach from a three-year-old child to a 100-year-old person and it literally has something tempting for everyone. As someone with a medical background can say with certainty some habits formed are incredibly hard to break free from. With that said it's definitely better to never get involved in ANY way than try to fight our way through it. Pastor please never stop getting sidetracked, those are some of the best pearls of wisdom you can be throwing around. God Bless
The Gospel for the N.T. Age of Grace/Church Age is 1 Cor. 15: 1-4 KJV. Other verses: Rom. 3: 25 KJV, Rom. 3: 23 KJV, Rom. 10: 6&10 KJV and Ephesians 2: 8-10 KJV. It's what the Lord Jesus Christ did for us that we're saved and it's by faith alone, not works. We're forgiven for all sins by the Lord Jesus Christ's shed blood. Amen!! Remember to study and rightly divide the word of truth (2 Tim. 2: 15 KJV). 🙏🙏
So if the Holy Spirit is gone during the tribulation how are the few who are in the tribulation saved, no one has been saved without the Holy Spirit. Also the 144000 will have the Holy Spirit. I think the church will be gone .
The end of the 69th week would be unto Jesus’ first appearance in His office as both Messiah and Prince. Jesus was born a prince, the Son of God - to be King of the Universe. But He did not qualify by the Law of Moses for the High Priest Messiah position until He reached the age of 30 years. It is no accident that Luke records for us that Jesus was in his 30th year at the time of His baptism by John at the River Jordan, immediately before He began his ministry. At that baptism both the Holy Spirit and the Father bare witness, “this is my son”, with John and Andrew of Jesus’ credentials: The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. (John 1:29-30) One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. (John 1:40-41) In my mind, this record of events supports an exact understanding of the term “unto Messiah the prince.” He was revealed at the Jordan River baptism as both, therefore the 69 weeks “unto Messiah” and prince, “this is my son” ended there, and the 70th week commenced. The week that was set apart for the Messiah!
In Rev. chapters 6-19 the mere absence of the word church does not mean that it is absent, The church is mentioned in numerous ways: fellowservants, brethren, the servants of our God, they which came out of great tribulation, the saints, them that worship, them that fear thy name, they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death, and her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ, plus many more.
I love Pastor Cucuzza and am grateful for his ministry, but I do disagree with him about the rapture, because I don’t see a pre-trib rapture in scripture. I looked for it, but it was clear to me, reading the New Testament three times, that believers will meet Jesus when He comes back, after the tribulation, at the end of the age. However, I don’t think this difference is salvational and isn’t worthy of hostility between Christians.
Our church does door to door soul winning in groups 7 days a week. We are all about witnessing to save people from dying and going to hell. No we are not pre trib, we are pre wrath. This is not a doctrinal issue. 2 Thessalonians 2. Read and then tell me more about imminent return. Two things must happen prior to Christs return based on this passage.
This man is so solid on Biblical doctrine and truth…
@Chales Golding
Yes!!!
He's solid!!! One of the best!!!
Solid
Amen 🙏
Plain, Understandable and 100 percent Bible.

Thank you Dr. Cucuzza for upholding the truth
Just found this channel a few days ago and just finished the Trojan Horse Series, started the Armageddon one.
You should listen to his Secure forever and James 2 series. Really clears things up regarding salvation.
@@GlenWarrington All I can say is Lord Jesus come quickly and get us off this big blue marble.

Another outstanding message Pastor Cucuzza. Hope to see you in heaven soon!!!
