Sermons About Fire
Ignite Courage
Courage: We all want it, We all need it and the Holy Spirit is the place to get it. Join Peter and John who are involved in the miraculous and come under fire because of preaching Jesus and the resurrection. Like Peter and John, may others be astonished by our courage and may it be said of us..."they've been with Jesus"!

Stepping into the Furnace: Welcoming the Refinement of Our Faith
Our text this morning comes from the book of I Peter. To fully understand our passage we need to know about the context in which it was written. The apostle Peter wrote this letter to predominantly Gentile believers scattered throughout Asia Minor, which is present-day Turkey. It was most likely written during the early 60’s (as in 60AD, not the 1960’s), during the reign of the Roman Emperor, Nero. Nero was famous for his hatred and persecution of Christians. Under his reign believers suffered greatly for their commitment to Christ. Today we will explore what relevance a text written to those suffering believers could possibly have to us in 21st Century America.

Tested by Fire
Often the greatest times of spiritual growth, come as the result of suffering and pain. God's greatest gifts to us, come in the form of "subtractions" instead of "additions". We grow on the valley floor ... suffering drives us deep. The authentic faith - is one that has been tested by fire, and proven powerful and rich. IN our day of "easy-believism" when we expect only good from the hand of God, perhaps the greatest challenge to our faith and to our spiritual maturity is when the storms of life begin to howl. Finding Jesus in the midst of the storm and being able to praise Him despite our pain is one of the critical steps on the journey toward Spiritual Maturity. We might not at first consider these trials as "gifts" but these "severe gifts" may be the catalyst for incredible spiritual growth if we will lean into God's purpose in them. Key Passages: Job 2:10 and Isaiah 48:10
