Listen "Keep the Fire Burning"
Episode Synopsis
The sermon delivers a urgent call to revival, warning that churches are failing not due to external forces but because of internal spiritual lethargy, where the fire of genuine faith has been extinguished by convenience, self-interest, and apathy. Drawing from Scripture—particularly Revelation's Laodicean church, 2 Timothy's description of last-day peril, and Paul's exhortation to daily dying to self—it identifies three deadly pitfalls: seeking blessings without embracing the cross, desiring spiritual benefits without the labor of discipleship, and relying on lifestyle alone rather than verbal proclamation of the gospel. The central message is that true revival begins with honest self-examination, a zealous repentance, and a deliberate choice to open the heart to Christ's work through prayer, Scripture, service, and courageous witness. The preacher urges believers to reject passive religiosity, rekindle their passion, and actively participate in God's mission, knowing that spiritual growth demands sacrifice, discipline, and the courage to step out in faith.
