Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Acts 1 & 2 (Acts 1:3, 8 & 14; 2:1-5; Genesis 1:1-2; Judges 13:25; Isaiah 61:1; 2 Peter 1:21; Romans 8:11; Hebrews 12:29; 1 Kings 18:38; Ephesians 3:20; 4:30)\n\xa0\nWe love to read the Bible stories where God shows up to do great things in the least expected ways through average people. It was never about their abilities, talents, or positions, but about the power of God working through them.When God moves, the impossible happens! When God shows up, things change! Without the working of the Spirit of God, there is no power! This is why the church must be Spirit filled!\n\xa0\nSeries description:\nOur hearts break every time we hear of a school shooting or another person that we love that is diagnosed with cancer. It reminds us that this world is hurting and broken. We are divided by politics, struggling with the economy, and searching for answers.\n\xa0\nThere is hope in the midst of all this, it's called the church! God has placed the church in the midst of this broken world to bring hope! The world is a mess, but remember, We were made for this!\n\n\xa0\n\n\n\nMADE FOR THIS\n"The Church Must Be Spirit Filled"\n\xa0\nI. The Spirit of God does the work\nII.
