Enjoy Biblical enrichment from Equip Church's teaching and preaching team. By invitation, Rev. Anthony Iannicelli was invited to City Church Marlborough to speak about how practical life engagement within the local church brings benefits and reward to both ourselves in our Spiritual walks with God and others. Rev. AJ has been a member of the Board and a Trustee of Equip Church | Academy | Care early after its initial founding. Having been a licensed minister with the Assemblies of God, he has been dedicated to advancing the goals of not just Equip but the expansion of God’s Kingdom through the work of the local church throughout New England. Rev. AJ truly believes the Scripture, “And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18, ESV). The community of believers holds an integral part in finishing God’s work on Earth. Rev. AJ holds a degree in Biblical Studies from Northpoint Bible College and a Master of Divinity degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary with an emphasis in leadership and apologetic studies. Anthony has been deeply committed to serving in many churches with a specific emphasis in church plants and other new community based initiatives. While New England holds a historic place in the United States in the growth of Christianity, he believes new organizations can also strengthen the local church. Equip is one of those organizations meant to “make disciples of all nations, baptizing them … teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20).

Listening – To pay attention to sound; to catch an unexpected sound. Hearing – To perceive or apprehend by the ear; to gain knowledge of by hearing; to listen to with attention. Related Distinctions: Feeling versus Touching; Holding versus Carrying; Savoring versus Tasting SCRIPTURE READING: Luke 8:4-18 GREEK “to hear” – Akouō means to attend to, consider what is or has been said; to understand, perceive the sense of what is said. The PURPOSE of The Parable of the Sower (V. 9-10): Jesus is making a DISTINCTION that while some have been given the ability to hear — only some will hear and know, others won’t and they will not understand. The MEANING of The Parable (V. 11-15) explained (with the seed noted as the word of God and soil representing the hearts of persons). Jesus provides examples that there are those who do in fact hear, but it is only those who having heard the word with a noble and good heart, will keep it and BEAR FRUIT with patience. The OUTCOME of hearing and persevering in God’s instructions (V. 8) Jesus’s way can produce a hundredfold return to our EFFORTS. Here are some ways to identify God’s Voice: -God’s direction will always lead by His character as revealed in the Word. God will never contradict his Word, character, nature or attributes. -If it is God, other Godly and reliable persons or counsel will confirm it. -You will have peace about doing it. -God’s leading, prompting, will and plan will always call us to service beneficial to the Kingdom of God. -Godly directives will stand the test of time. -God will give you the ability to achieve it. God equips. -God will be glorified by it. What are the five ways God speaks to us? HOW can we hear His Voice? 1. God speaks to us through THE WORD OF GOD. (2 Timothy 3:16) 2. God speaks in the STILL SMALL VOICE. (Isaiah 30:21) “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” 3. God speaks through NATURAL means. (Proverbs 15:22-23; Romans 1:20; 2 Chronicles 16:9). These can be people, circumstances, natural creation, experiences. 4. God speaks through SUPERNATURAL means. (1 Cor 14:3; Joel 2:28-29; Heb 1:14) These can be signs, wonders, miracles & gifts of the Spirit – Wisdom, Word of Knowledge, Prophecy. 5. God gives us the DESIRE to do what He wants done. Philippians 2:13 – “for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose
