Northgate Christian Community

Pastor Alberto Lanzlot God’s love is unrelenting – this is an absolute. Pastor Alberto shared his testimony about being raised in the Bronx, participating in drug trafficking and addiction, and serving time in prison. Ultimately, it was not the criminal system, programs, or rituals that saved him, but the unrelenting love of God. His wife was pivotal to his transformation from a prison inmate to a follower of Jesus Christ. Through her, he was shown the undeserved overwhelming love of God – a God who would consider him part of his “chosen people” despite all of his transgressions. But how do we respond to God’s unrelenting love? Pastor Alberto uses Ephesians 5:1-2 as the framework for his response: “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” (Ephesians 5:1-2, ESV)
