    Servant Leadership (CHURCH ON FIRE — Practices of a Spirit-Empowered Church)

    Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Acts 6:1-7; 2 Timothy 2:15; 4:2; Ephesians 4:11-12 Can you imagine being part of a move of God so great that people were being saved every day? The church in the book of Acts was growing rapidly, and the gospel was spreading everywhere. It's exciting to read about how God worked in such powerful ways, but it's also important to study how it happened. As the church grew, so did the need for leadership. A growing church brings growing challenges—that's simply part of life. Yet in the middle of it all, God carried out His plan, and the church continued to thrive. If we desire to see God work in the same way today, we must take note of the principles found in Acts 6 and put them into practice. This church was on fire because they did things God's way.   Series description: ​What if I told you that God created something to help us face life's challenges, engage in spiritual warfare, strengthen our families, discover our purpose, and live the life He intended for us? Wouldn't that become a priority? The good news is that God did create something that accomplishes all of this...the church.​ Before you dismiss that idea, let's clarify what we mean by "church." We're not talking about buildings, programs, traditions, or religious routines. We're talking about the church as God designed it. When the church functions according to God's plan, it is powerful, effective, life-changing, and essential. Yet many people view it as optional because they have never experienced what the church was meant to be. It's time to go back to the original blueprint. Let's examine God's purpose for the church and discover how it not only transforms individual lives but was designed to impact families, communities, and ultimately the world.   ​CHURCH ON FIRE: Practices of a Spirit-Empowered Church "Servant Leadership"   1. Healthy Churches Have Growing Needs 2. Healthy Churches Require Biblical Leadership A. pastors must prioritize prayer and he ministry of the Word B. deacons help meet the practical needs of the church C. every believer has a ministry

    Kingdom Minded (CHURCH ON FIRE — Practices of a Spirit-Empowered Church)

    Pastor Matt Hodge (Discipleship Pastor) - Acts 5:1-4, 11, 16-23, 26-42; John 15:19-21; Matthew 5:10-12; 1 Peter 4:12-14; Luke 1:32-33   Every person is building a kingdom. The question is: whose kingdom are we building? In Acts 5, we see the contrast between religious leaders protecting their own kingdoms and apostles surrendered to the work of God’s Kingdom. Discover what it means to live Kingdom-minded by giving God the glory, enduring suffering for His name, and faithfully obeying our King.   Series description: ​What if I told you that God created something to help us face life's challenges, engage in spiritual warfare, strengthen our families, discover our purpose, and live the life He intended for us? Wouldn't that become a priority? The good news is that God did create something that accomplishes all of this...the church.​ Before you dismiss that idea, let's clarify what we mean by "church."

In this lesson, we explore how Scripture provides the foundation for our beliefs, how lies seek to distort our understanding of reality, and how intentional habits of wisdom help us become more like Jesus.   Summer Teaching Series: Every day, we are being shaped by the world, the culture around us, and even the people closest to us. Formation is happening whether we notice it or not, and left unchecked, it can pull us away from God’s design for our lives.

    Bold Witness (CHURCH ON FIRE — Practices of a Spirit-Empowered Church)

    Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Acts 3:10-11 & 15; 4:1-21, 23-24, 27, 29 & 31; 23:8; Mark 13:9; 1 Peter 3:15; Ephesians 6:15   Are you bold? It's not a question we get asked every day, but it's an important one. One of the key characteristics of the church in Acts is that they were bold. They preached when their lives were on the line. They did not hold back when the pressure was on. They declared the truth even when they were threatened. God used and blessed their boldness in a big way. Again, the question we have to ask is: Are we bold? I'm not just talking about preaching before thousands. I'm asking, do you share your faith at work? Do you pray out loud before your meal at a restaurant? Would you speak up if your faith was challenged at school? Acts 4 not only tells the story of great boldness, but it also shows us what it takes to live boldly with God's help.   Series description: ​What if I told you that God created something to help us face life's challenges, engage in spiritual warfare, strengthen our families, discover our purpose, and live the life He intended for us? Wouldn't that become a priority? The good news is that God did create something that accomplishes all of this...the church.​ Before you dismiss that idea, let's clarify what we mean by "church." We're not talking about buildings, programs, traditions, or religious routines. We're talking about the church as God designed it.

    People Reaching (CHURCH ON FIRE — Practices of a Spirit-Empowered Church)

    Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Acts 3 (Acts 2:41-42; 3:1-12, 16 & 19; John 4:35; Isaiah 35:6; Matthew 5:16)   What do you see when you walk through the grocery store? What do you notice when you walk through a hospital lobby or stand in line at the post office? Every day, we are surrounded by people who are hurting, broken, and alone. These are people who are lost and searching for help but don't know where to turn. Do you see them? Do you see people the way God sees them? Do you notice the hurting? Do you step into their needs? Do you show the love of God to the people who cross your path? Acts 2 tells the story of a great crowd of people whose lives were changed when the gospel was preached. Acts 3 tells the story of one man the world had overlooked. Everything changed when Peter and John saw him the way Jesus sees us.   Series description: ​What if I told you that God created something to help us face life's challenges, engage in spiritual warfare, strengthen our families, discover our purpose, and live the life He intended for us? Wouldn't that become a priority? The good news is that God did create something that accomplishes all of this...the church.​ Before you dismiss that idea, let's clarify what we mean by "church."

In this lesson, we explore Deuteronomy 6 and discover how God calls His people to intentionally use their words to remember and proclaim His greatness, His faithfulness, and His saving work. The stories we repeatedly tell shape our perspective, our priorities, and the people around us. As followers of Christ, we are challenged to make praise, gratitude, and the hope of the gospel the story we tell with our words.   Summer Teaching Series: Every day, we are being shaped by the world, the culture around us, and even the people closest to us.
