2. WORSHIP + MESSAGE

1. Today’s experience has combined a time of worship and the message into one continuous moment/ video.

2. Be encouraged! Our staff has prayed over every person who will go through this experience to encounter God’s presence, to be challenged by the word of God, and to be filled up and encouraged!

3. GO DEEPER

REFLECT ON THE 3 THOUGHTS FROM THE MESSAGE (take the next step)

1. Our lives must be refined by the fire of God. (sanctification)

• The refining fire of God remains a picture for us today. He refines and burns away the impurities of sin in our life. This is called sanctification. Jesus justifies us, justification is through Jesus alone, but prayer, confession, and repentance sanctifies us. We must ask God, “burn away the impurities, we repent of our sin, please give us clean hands and pure hearts.”

• What sin(s) do you need to repent of and ask God to purify/ sanctify/ burn away in you?

2. Our homes can be a sacred space. (holy and set apart)

• We can set our homes apart and holy unto the Lord. Perhaps you can have a new mindset of holy and sacred over your home.

• What are a few things that should not happen in your home and what are a few things you want to happen in order to set your home apart for the Lord? Take time a think through, write down, and even pray over.

3. A life that burns for God…will put off smoke.

• Because where there’s smoke there’s fire — letting everyone know that the presence of God is with you! There is no time like the present to stoke the fire, turn up the heat, and fan that flame. We must be people who will burn with the kind of passion that can’t be missed, so the world around us will see the smoke!

• Pray daily this week for increased passion and fire for God and for greater opportunity to declare to the world that, God is here!
