In this message, Dr. Ike Reighard shares how God uses trials to refine His people. From Malachi 3:2-3 and Zechariah 13:9, we see that fire in Scripture can destroy, but for believers it develops. Just as a silversmith purifies gold until he sees his reflection, God refines us until Christ is seen in us. The fire is not punishment, it is proof that you belong to Him.

At Piedmont Church, we are reminded that God never abandons us in the furnace. He uses the fire to purify our character, prepare us for our calling, and confirm our relationship with Him. What feels like breaking is really God's making, and when you come through the fire, you will reflect His glory more than ever before.

Watch now and see how the fire you're walking through is evidence of God's presence, not His absence.
