In this service, Pastor Alex taught that God’s fire is not meant to be a one-time encounter, but a continual, refining presence that marks and transforms our lives. He used the imagery of the burning bush and refining fire to show how God removes impurity, brands us as His own, and calls us to stay burning rather than briefly catching fire and fading out. Pastor Alex emphasized that spiritual maturity comes from learning how to build and sustain your own fire with God, not relying on other people’s encounters or past moments. He broke down the three ingredients of a lasting fire—tinder (the initial encounter), kindling (daily discipline and obedience), and fuel (your personal history with God). He concluded by challenging us to continually pursue God, fan into flame the gifts He has given us, and live with consistent passion, growth, and expectation.
