Senior Leader Brent Lokker takes us on a journey to "see" the fullness of who we are as a church. This includes a "look back" on our history and a refined vision of where we are headed.
Jesus said His people are to be the "light of the world." How do we shine as bright lights to the world we live in? By our behavior, people can move from darkness to light; by our savior, knowing what Jesus did for them; our message of hope gives light to those in darkness.

Pastor Brent encourages us and challenges us to surrender our will to the leading of God's Spirit instead of settling for judgments, disconnections, and addictions (living from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil). Slides for a talk given Jan 30, 2021.
Hearing the "Voice" of Jesus - Brent Lokkerrfochler
Pastor Brent Lokker shares a timely message about the privilege we have as believers to listen to the voice of Jesus recognizing the reality that He is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care (Ps 95:7). blazingfire.org To listen to the podcast, go to https://www.podbean.com/eu/pb-83t6q-d5c6ca

The Father's Covenant of Grace - Brent Lokkerrfochler
This important message brings joy and freedom when we understand what it means for each of us. It's truly amazing good news instead of the "somewhat good news" many of us have been taught.

The Simplicity and Grace of Salvation - Kara Holtherfochler
Kara Holthe shares her joy in the simplicity and beauty of God's plan of salvation, as she recounts several stories from the book of Acts and her own life. The simple gospel is just as relevant and powerful today as it was 2000 years ago; his faithfulness continues through all generations (Ps 100:5). Kara included a moving message about God's heart to save whole families.

Pastor Brent Lokker reviews what we've learned from the book of Acts, and helps us focus on the centrality of the Holy Spirit in any advance of the Kingdom. The secret is always to yield to Him, so that His dynamic life and power is allowed gain victory both in us and through us.

God Responds to Worship and Does A New Thingrfochler
Pastor Russ Fochler shares the story of Peter and Cornelius from Acts 10, and how God orchestrated changed minds and hearts to bring the Gentiles into full fellowship, receiving the Holy Spirit and baptism. We too are encouraged to move beyond the status quo, and hunger for the "more" that God has for us.

Pastor Karena shares from the Bible and personal experience about how God engages with our heart and will - to grow up like Jesus. From a talk given at Blazing Fire blazingfire.org
Pastor Brent reminds us of the simple Gospel message and its power to set us free, if only we would take it at face value. Too often we have allowed never-quite-good-enough, performance-based religion to turn God's good news into a man-made prison! Pastor Brent invites us back to the place where we trust the completeness of God's salvation work in us, and can confidently state that we're fully accepted and loved as God’s favored child!

Coming Home To Our True Identity - Charles Razzellrfochler
Charles Razzell contrasts the attitudes and outcomes for two men who encountered God's power: Simon the Sorcerer and Paul the Apostle (Acts chapters 8 & 9). God calls us to experience sonship and values us accordingly, whereas many of us still tend to assess each other for what we do. The best possible outcome is when we know who we are in Christ and live accordingly; Jesus being the Vine, and we the branches.

How Does Fear Fit With The New Covenant of Grace? Acts 5:11-42rfochler
Continuing our study of the Book of Acts, Pastor Brent looks at Acts 5:11-42. Like the discussion last week, Brent helps us consider scriptures we sometimes wonder what to do with. This time, we take a deeper look at what kind of fear is appropriate in the lives of believers given that "perfect love drives out fear."

Pastor Brent Lokker highlights the defining characteristics of the fellowship of believers as described in Acts 2:42-47 and Acts 4:32-37.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
