"Let not your heart be troubled." - Jesus In the face of tragedy, we have a choice: let fear win or let faith rise. Today's message reminds us that even in our darkest moments, God's peace can guard our hearts. The enemy may scheme, but he just woke a giant - the Church. We're called to be bold in our faith, to cast our cares on Him, and to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. Remember: You are built to live by faith. Don't let your heart be troubled. Replace worry with worship. Your strength comes from the joy of...

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of joy in our Christian walk. The central theme revolves around Philippians 4:4, 'Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!' We're challenged to embrace joy not as a fleeting emotion, but as a fruit of the Spirit and a powerful spiritual weapon. The message draws parallels between Paul's circumstances in prison and our own challenges, emphasizing that true joy transcends our situations. We're encouraged to fix our thoughts on things worthy of praise, as outlined in Philippians 4:8, and to cultivate a mindset of rejoicing even in...

John 14:5-6 (NKJV) “Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Today we get the wonderful privilege of celebrating with our church family their bold declaration of their faith in Christ, with baptism. Baptism is one of the most honorable things we do for Christ. It boldly testifies to humanity, as well as all the host of the unseen world, that we belong to Jesus. That He is the

John 14:1 (NKJV) “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. Then in v.27, He tells us again and tops it off with, “and don’t be afraid” WHY? Because He just gave us His peace. So, according to Jesus, can a child of God live worry free? Trouble free? Anxious for nothing? Can we walk in the peace of God that passes understanding?

Pentecost was never meant to be an upper room monument, it was meant to be a global movement.

John 14:27 (TPT) “I leave the gift of peace with you—MY PEACE. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but My perfect peace. Don’t yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous!” NKJV, “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”

Pentecost wasn’t designed to be a one-time spark that we saw in Acts 2 that slowly fades into a memory. It’s meant to be a fire we tend, feed, and grow — a fire that spreads into every corner of our lives and into every place God sends us.

In this powerful message, we're reminded of Jesus' profound words: 'Let not your heart be troubled.' Drawing from John 14, we explore the deep significance of trusting God amidst life's storms. The story of Jesus calming the sea in Mark 4 beautifully illustrates this trust, challenging us to remain peaceful even when circumstances seem dire. We're encouraged to recognize the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, our constant source of peace and strength. This lesson invites us to renew our minds, focusing on God's promises rather than our problems. By doing so, we can cultivate an unshakeable faith that withstands life's...

1 Corinthians 12:12 (NKJV) “For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ.”

Community is our Opportunity all hinges on us embracing our purpose as a local congregation; Helping people discover and develop a life in Christ.

Tonight’s talk is titled, Pentecost: Repentance Required If you have your bibles, lets jump into our key text, turn to Acts 2:38

Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV) YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

We remembered how Pentecost wasn’t just an event… it was a turning point. It was the birth of the Church, the coming of the Spirit, and the unleashing of power into everyday believers.

At the end of the day, when it comes to People being are our Purpose, I can’t overstate how important our attitude is. Without the right attitude, it'll be very easy to look past the one God's wanting us to influence.

There’s not a more perfect way to kick off our next “Core Value” Live Like… People are our Purpose, than with baptism Sunday. Today we get the wonderful privilege of celebrating with our church family their bold declaration of faith in Christ with baptism.

Think about it like this, The Great Commission tells us, “go make disciples” and without question, discipleship absolutely includes money, giving, generosity. Jesus is the one who told us, GIVE and it will be given to you…

In this powerful follow-up to “Pentecost: The Forgotten Moment,” we shift our focus from the event to the people—those who responded with obedience, and those who didn’t. Out of 500 who saw the resurrected Jesus, only 120 waited, prayed, and obeyed. These were the Remnant. This week’s message challenges us to evaluate: Are we part of the 120, or are we clinging to comfort like the 380? Discover what it means to be a faithful, obedient remnant in today’s culture. Learn to let go of the ropes, say yes to God’s call, and pursue the fullness of the Spirit that was launc...

This is our core verse for today Acts 2:1–4 (NKJV)“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place… Suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind… and there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire… and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit…”

As we continue through our “Live Like…” series is, we are talking about generosity being a normal part of our lives. GENEROUS— A readiness to GIVE more than necessary. And for the Christian, giving is the nature of our Father. As a matter of fact, I’m sure most of you have either heard or said, “You're acting just like your father”

Let’s remember, at it’s core GENEROSITY is ultimately a heart posture, an attitude about giving.

GENEROSITY is ultimately a heart posture, an attitude about giving. GENEROSITY is our norm is a revelation we’re still growing in as a church, but we’ve definitely made it consistent practice.

Jesus Himself didn’t even start His earthly ministry until the Holy Spirit came upon Him. Think about it, both the public ministry of Jesus in the gospels and the public ministry of the church through the book of Acts began with the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus told us, “these signs will follow them that believe,” we simply have to be open to embracing our new creation. This spiritual reality is for every believer! We are speaking spirits, confined to humanity. And tongues is simple speaking a spiritual language. As a matter of fact Jesus actually told us, “My words are Spirit.”

Serving is our Privilege” simply allows us the opportunity to discover what God will do through anyone willing to be open to their assignment.

The reason “Serving is our Privilege” is we understand that as we offer our lives as a sacrifice to God, He inspires our heart to want to be part of what He’s doing. As a matter of fact, Jesus takes it personal when we serve. “When you’ve done it unto the least of one of these, you’ve done unto Me.”

Jesus repeatedly made this statement, “The Greatest in the Kingdom will be a SERVANT”

Colossians 3:23-24 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Matthew 20:26-27 NIV Whoever, wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave- just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Remember, Spirit within, Spirit upon— Think about it, Jesus is the FIRSTBORN, our example of one born of the Spirit and He’s the one who actually said, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me” Don’t forget, Jesus repeatedly talked to His disciples about the Holy Spirit.

Live Like. . . Worship is our Desire P6

Pastor John LoBuglio We will be discussing and studying the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the Evidence of Praying in Tongues

Worship is a place we go in the spirit where the people of God not only acknowledge, but reverence God for who He is. And at the end of the day, just like our life of faith, our life of worship, worship becoming our desire, starts with a renewed mind and transformed heart.

Worship is our Desire because; in the words of the apostle Paul, “By the grace of God, I am who I am.” So on our worst day, we still have these new lives Jesus made available for each of us.

Worship is one of the most spiritual things a Christian can take part in. And without question one of the best ways to experience God’s presence in a more tangible way from our human position. Here’s the thing, WORSHIP IS OUR DESIRE, and I realize that it’s not going to be everybody’s desire, but I am presenting to you this morning the opportunity to be a part of where we’re going.

Worship is a spiritual avenue for the people of God to not only acknowledge, but reverence God for who He is. To connect with our Father on a more authentic level.

In “The Live Like Life” there has to be transformation in our thinking for Faith to be our Response. It’s the only way a human can engage in a different dimension, in spiritual living. And believing is the key that unlocks faith.

Ultimately, it’s faith that gives every believer access to God’s world. But like we touched on in our last couple of talks, it’s also why unbelief is so deceptively destructive.

When it comes to Living Like… Faith is our Response, we have to realize that in the scriptures, believing and faith flow together. If we think about it, God not only designed us to live by faith, he actually commanded us to. Seriously, if God makes the same statement 4 times, Habakkuk 2:2, Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH

Here’s the deal, Live Like… Faith is our Response, starts with the understanding that believing and faith go hand in hand.

Please understand, when we talk about being passionate for the Lord, it’s never out of some works approach. Our passion simply grows the better we get to know Him. For example, God is good, Jesus is good, Holy Spirit, good!! And the better we know Him, the clearer this truth becomes. God's plan for His creation hasn't changed. This is why He made us in His image. We're suppose to be an expression of Him. Us in Him, Him in us!
