Fire At The Church

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Jun 12, 2011

The day of Pentecost signified the birth of the Church.

Clothed With Fire Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 14, 2017

There's part of this story of the fiery furnace that I'd always missed. There was one question upon which everything else hinged - not only in this story but also in our lives. Do you know what that question is?

When my sister Barbranne was in her early 20’s she left the Church and Jesus behind and went off to live the “wild life.” At age 55 she decided she’d hurt herself in that decision and started going back to church.

A Church On Fire

Contributed by David Radcliff on Nov 30, 2017

There is nothing more pathetic than a drowsy and lethargic church. When a church loses its fervor for Christ, it ceases to be an organism and becomes merely an organization.

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 21, 2018

Tending The Fire

Contributed by Kerry O'neill on Dec 24, 2014

It is ALL about a relationship with Jesus and it takes discipline to pursue Him. It is NOT meant as a guilt trip for those who do not have a daily quiet time, but practical helps on how to. *May be better preached as series. Lots of content, a bit rushed.
