The Hands of the Church Part 3
June 14, 2022 • Pastor Johnny Zacchio
The human body has 78 different organs. Many of those systems have jobs that we don’t really think about – or want to think about for that matter. But if those functions aren’t happening the way they’re designed to, you’ll realize their importance. As Pastor Johnny will remind us in today’s message, the Church of Jesus Christ is a body with even more parts and functions. It can be a challenge to figure out how all of us work together, but if our focus is on serving Christ and each other, we’re on the right track!

The Gifts of the Spirit are a fascinating subject that has been at the heart of great movements in the Church as well as many controversies. As a believer in Jesus, He wants to fill you with His Holy Spirit. When that happens, He bears fruit in your life. That fruit will look different based on His will and the specific ways He gifts you, but ultimately, those gifts are meant to be used for His glory. As Pastor Johnny will remind us in today’s message, we’re called to be Christ’s hands and feet in this world.
Living in the Times of the Signs Part 1
April 1, 2022 • Pastor Johnny Zacchio
The world is full of uncertainties. It’s constantly changing, and those changes are enough to make anyone live in fear. What will tomorrow bring? As you listen to today’s message with Pastor Johnny, you’ll learn that though the world is uncertain, God is certain. His Word is constant; never failing, never changing. The Apostle Paul understood this. He knew that this world of darkness was not his final home. He knew his faith was sure. So, take a page from Paul’s letter and choose to live in faith, not fear.

If you have all the talents in the world, but no heart, God cannot use you. As you listen to today’s message with Pastor Johnny, you’ll learn that as talented as you may be, your talents don’t matter without heart. Without soul. Without love. You see, God looks inward. And if what’s inside you doesn’t line up with the heart of God, how can you show the world who He is? The good news is this: God is a God of grace, and He has enough for even you. You can grow, be made new and your heart can change.

There are many voices always talking, writing, and teaching. Some preach the truth and some speak their own gospel. As a follower of Jesus, your job is to know the Word of God so that you can decipher between what is true and what is false. In today’s message, Pastor Johnny continues to teach on the importance of truth. If you’re not in the Word of God, how can you know that what you’re listening to is true? Challenge yourself to not depend on others for truth. Learn it for yourself.

Throughout the New Testament, Paul warned - time and time again - about false teachers. And although Paul’s writings were written thousands of ago, they’re still applicable today. As you listen to Pastor Johnny in today’s message, you’ll be challenged to seek the truth. Do not compromise or change the word of God…for any reason. Be careful who you’re listening to. Be cautious about what books you’re reading. God’s word is not meant to be changed to fit your story; you were meant to fit into His.
The Grace of God to be Strong Part 3

In order to be a farmer, you must put in the work. You can’t lazily sleep in and think that the cows will milk themselves. You can’t plant a seed and then not pull the weeds. You can’t buy the animals and then not feed them. You can’t claim to be a farmer and then not do any of the required work. Likewise, as Pastor Johnny will teach in today’s message, you can’t claim to follow Jesus and then not put in the work. You must spend time with Him. As a follower of Jesus, your life should reflect His.

Today Pastor Johnny will teach that following Jesus is not easy. In fact, Jesus even said that following Him meant people would hate you. It meant that hardships would come. It meant that you would have to leave behind your old way of life. All these things would be enough for anyone to say, “Nope, that life is not for me.” But Jesus didn’t stop there. He also promised a life of light, love, and purpose. Think about it, you don’t get to see the view on top of the mountain without climbing the mountain first.

Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. The Apostle Paul understood what it meant to be strong in Lord. He understood that the world is full of wild things, and it can beat you down. But if you let the Lord lead - if you depend on God’s strength and not your own - you can run the race. You can fight the good fight. You can do what you’ve been called to do. Today Pastor Johnny will teach on God’s strength and how the Lord can carry you in His grace. It is in your weakness, He is strong.

When gas pressure builds up underneath the earth’s surface, it’s only a matter of time until it explodes up into the air above ground.

When there’s a power source that goes out, the whole city shuts down. There’s no heat or no electricity, and soon your city’s in a state of emergency, needing relief. Well in today’s teaching, Pastor Johnny talks about a power source that’s outside of you. It’s not from you, but it can be within you, and bring about a powerful effect! But it’s coming to that realization that you can’t do it on your own. You need God and His power to transform you so that you can spread that power to others, and change them too!

Being an undercover cop can have its perks. People don’t realize that you’re there on the job, and you just look like a common civilian. But what Pastor Johnny wants you to think about today is….are you acting like an undercover Christian…where no one knows that you stand for something different than this world? Don’t blend into society by the way you’re living. Stand out, like how a cop with a uniform is noticeable to those around him. Put your armor on, and stand your ground.

The idea of being a gladiator might have a glamorous or glorious reputation, on the surface. But what you may not realize is that these gladiators were trained to kill, but also were just part of a chess game for entertainment, in the Roman culture. These people were incredibly courageous, but they knew their whole purpose was to go to the arena and eventually be killed. Well today, Pastor Johnny teaches on how Paul was like a gladiator -in a sense. He knew death was before him, and he was courageous.
