Tried In The Fire Seven Times

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 5, 2020

The Bible is NOT like any other book; its words are ALIVE! David compared God’s words to the purest gold, once it has finished going through the smelting process. The Word of God, like gold, is Trustworthy, Indestructible, Flawless, and Valuable.

Promises Kept....pentecost Fire

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on May 29, 2020

It’s Not Fire Insurance

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 12, 2021

This message discusses how there are people who attend church claiming faith in Christ simply because they want a ticket to heaven, or because they want their fire insurance; but, they have never truly believed in Jesus as Savior and Lord.

This morning, I am going to talk about the deception of professing Christ as fire insurance and as a ticket to heaven; and so, I’m going to begin with a related illustration. In the December 2001 issue of “Reader’s Digest,” the boxer Muhammed Ali was asked during an interview what his faith meant ...read more

Rekindle The Fire Part 2 Series

Contributed by Dave Nichols on May 18, 2021

I Am With You In The Fire Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 29, 2020

When confronted with a choice, we know what Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah chose. Are we a church of Hananiahs, Mishaels, and Azariahs? I pray to God we never have to find out … but if we do, I hope and pray the choice is clear.

Somewhere in the world … right now as I am speaking to you … a Christian has a gun pointed at their head because of what they believe. Somewhere in the world someone is going to lose their head or their life today because they refuse to give up their faith or deny Jesus Christ. Right now, as we ...read more

Ancient Of Days : Fire Everywhere Series

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 18, 2024

One of the purest form of God is Ancient of Days where God appears as a consuming fire in all His Glory and Majesty. The throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; and a stream of fire flowed from His presence. There's fire everywhere.

Our God Is A Consuming Fire

Contributed by Gbemisola Fafowora on Jan 22, 2020

When I read this in the bible I got excited that we have a God that loves us and His love for us will consume with His fire anything in us that will not let us live a godly life.

But the book of Hebrews records this in chapter 12 verse 29 that Our God is indeed a Consuming Fire Hebrews 12:29 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably ...read more
