Sermon Notes
Sermon Summary
The sermon “Build Fire | Keep the Fire Alive” emphasizes the importance of maintaining spiritual passion and commitment to God. Drawing from Acts 28 and Leviticus 6:12-13, it highlights the need for a consistent, burning fire on the altar of our lives.
Key points include:
- Overcoming Excuses: Excuses hinder spiritual growth, and they extinguish our fire for God (Luke 14:18). We must push past excuses to stay spiritually alive.
- The Four Stages of Keeping the Fire Alive:
- Desire: God places a longing in our hearts.
- Decision: We must choose to pursue Him.
- Discipline: Consistent spiritual practices are necessary.
- Delight: True passion for God turns pursuit into joy.
- Maintaining the Fire: Like the priests in Leviticus, we must consistently feed our fire (through discipline and sacrifice) and keep it burning, as God provides the spark but we maintain it.
The sermon calls believers to actively nurture their spiritual fire through desire, decision, discipline, and delight.
