The Burning Ones

Are we truly passionate about our faith? This powerful message challenges us to rekindle our burning desire for God's kingdom. Drawing from the parable of the hidden treasure, we're reminded that the kingdom of heaven is worth everything we have. The key to deepening our faith lies in passion - it takes us where mediocrity leaves us behind. We're urged to respond not just outwardly, but in our spirits, saying 'Amen' to God's calling. The simplicity of following Jesus is highlighted, comparing it to everyday tasks we often neglect. Just as we need water to avoid dehydration, our souls need regular connection with God to thrive. We're encouraged to create a daily 'altar' - a meeting place with God - inspired by Jacob's encounter at Bethel. This practice of fervent prayer and seeking God's presence can transform our lives, just as it did for Elijah, enabling us to be a 'burning fire' for God in the world.
