Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Acts 9:3-15 & 17-19; Luke 19:10; Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Corinthians 3:6
What does it take? This is a serious question when it comes to discipleship.
What does it take to reach the person who knows nothing about God? What does it take to help the struggling couple who is close to calling it quits? What does it take to see someone set free from an addiction they’ve battled for most of their life?
The answer is Jesus. YES! He is the answer. But what does that mean?
In Acts 9, Jesus does an amazing work in Saul’s life when He calls out to him on the road to Damascus. But God didn’t reach and disciple Saul in isolation. He brought people into Saul’s life.
God used Ananias to help Saul take his next steps. He used other believers to encourage him, teach him, and walk alongside him.
Jesus is the answer, but Jesus delivers His hope through us! He wants to use us to reach the lost, restore the broken, strengthen struggling marriages, and help people find freedom from the things that have held them captive.
So, what does it take to make disciples?
It takes the power of God working through you!
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.
