Today, we dive into what it means to be empowered by the Holy Spirit and how to practically share Jesus through verse-by-verse scripture, illustrations, and personal testimony.Scriptures Referenced:• Matthew 28: 18-20• Matthew 9: 35-38• Romans Road (Romans 3: 10-11, 3: 23, 6: 23, 5: 8, 10: 9-10, 10: 13)• Isaiah 59: 2• 1 Peter 3: 18• John 3: 16-18• Acts 17: 28-30• Acts 1: 6-8Key Takeaways:1.

Welcome to HopeTown Church! In part 3 of the We Are the Church message series, Pastor Tim Ashley dives into Matthew 28:18-20 to explore what it truly means to be the church. The Great Commission isn't just an individual calling—it takes a collective approach. Together, as the church, we are called to go, make disciples, baptize, and teach under the ultimate authority of Jesus Christ.Scripture Reference:Matthew 28: 18-20 (NLT)"18 Jesus came and told his disciples, 'I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.'"Key Takeaways:• What Does The Church Do?

What does the biblical church actually look like, and how does it compare to modern culture? In Part 2 of our series "We Are The Church," Pastor Tim Ashley delivers a message titled "What Does The Church Look Like?"Looking at the early church in Acts 2: 42-47, we explore what happens when believers live with persistent, relentless devotion to God and to one another. At HopeTown Church, our vision is clear: we exist to REACH people who are far from God and CONNECT them with the Hope of Jesus.In this message, Pastor Tim unpacks three key characteristics of the true church:Intensely Devoted: Living in a constant state of relentless pursuit, prayer, fellowship, and Scripture (Proskartereo).Irrationally Generous: Leading the way in giving because we truly believe it is more blessed to give than to receive.Unapologetically Sharing Jesus: Doing whatever it takes short of sin to reach people who don't know Christ.We'll never insult God with small thinking or safe living. Watch to discover how you can take your next step—whether that's reading God's Word, joining a small group, serving, tithing, or praying daily.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:• Acts 2:42-47• Acts 4:33-34• Ephesians 3:20-21REACH | CONNECT | REPEATConnect with us[HopeTown on Instagram](  / hopetownchurch  )[Download our App](https://hopetown.churchcenter.com/setup)#WeAreTheChurch #HopeTownChurch #TimAshley #Sermon #Acts2 #ChristianFaith #ChurchOnline #BiblicalCommunity #FaithOverFear🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more messages from HopeTown!➡️ SHARE this message with someone you want to bless!

What comes to mind when you hear the word "church"? Is it a building, a Sunday morning routine, or something far greater?In Part 1 of the message series "We Are The Church," Pastor Tim Ashley dives into Scripture to uncover what God truly intended the Church to be. The Church isn't just a physical location or a weekly event—it is a living, breathing community called to live as people of light.Key TakeawaysMore than a building: The Church is a People, reconciled to God and joined together as a holy temple through Jesus Christ.More than a gathering: The Church is an Assembly, called to encourage one another, spark love, and pursue good works together.More than an idea: The Church is a Lifestyle—because faith is acting like God is telling the truth, and true faith reshapes how we think, feel, and act every day.Scripture ReferencesEphesians 2 : 14–22 – Reconciled into one body and built as a dwelling place for God’s Spirit.Hebrews 10 : 23–25 – Holding fast to faith and not forsaking assembling together.Ephesians 5: 6–10, 15–20 – Living carefully as people of light and making the most of every opportunity.REACH | CONNECT | REPEATConnect with us[HopeTown on Instagram](  / hopetownchurch  )[Download our App](https://hopetown.churchcenter.com/setup)#WeAreTheChurch #HopeTownChurch #TimAshley #WhatIsTheChurch #ChurchIsAPeople #FaithInAction #Ephesians2 #BiblicalTeaching #SermonSeries #SundaySermon #ChristianLifestyle #PeopleOfLight🔔 SUBSCRIBE for more messages from HopeTown!➡️ SHARE this message with someone you want to bless!Ask
