Step Two: Fire Up
In this powerful message, we're challenged to move from a superficial faith to one that burns with holy fire. The central theme revolves around Luke 9, where Jesus calls us to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Him. We're reminded that true discipleship isn't cheap or casual - it's a costly grace that requires our all. The message draws fascinating parallels between the disciples' mountaintop experience and our own spiritual highs, emphasizing the importance of how we 'come down the mountain' and apply our faith in everyday life. We're encouraged to fire up our faith by forsaking reputation in favor of reckless obedience, quieting ourselves to hear God's voice, and courageously engaging in Christ's works. This message invites us to examine what's holding us back from giving everything to Jesus and challenges us to become people who can't be bought by anything or anyone.
