Neighborhood Church Ocala's "Sparking the Flame" series explores Acts 4-5, where the early church shares life together in generosity and then faces a sobering test of honesty with Ananias and Sapphira. This post asks whether our neighbors would notice if our church disappeared and shows why living for God, not performing for others, matters.

Neighborhood Church Ocala's "Sparking the Flame" series looks at Acts 3-4, where a miraculous healing leads Peter and John straight into conflict with religious leaders. We’re asking what it means that pushback to the gospel is both expected and an opportunity. This post explores what it looks like to point broken people to Jesus and pray for boldness instead of asking God to remove the resistance.

In week two of "Sparking the Flame," Neighborhood Church Ocala walks through Acts 1-2 to explain what really happened on the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came with wind, fire, and bold preaching. This post shows how a fearful group of disciples, and a crowd of three thousand strangers, were transformed by the same Spirit still at work in the church today.
