    A sermon about the Second coming and Resurrection to clear up misconceptions for those who are confused.

    Set Us On Fire God!

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jul 25, 2012
    based on 27 ratings
     | 37,580 views

    If we are to live lives that are pleasing and acceptable to God; if we are to carry out the purpose to which He has called us we need to a spiritual passion and to rekindle the fire. We need the power of God’s Holy Spirit to fall on us and set on fire.

    “Set Us on Fire God!” I Thessalonians 5:19 Paul exhorted the Thessalonian Christians not to quench or extinguish the Holy Spirit. It’s easy for us to get sidetracked by the things of this world causing us to lose our passion for the things of God and allowing the flames of our ...read more
