Where There's Smoke There's FireSample

Where There's Smoke There's Fire

DAY 15 OF 28

This week, we delve into the profound idea that God's presence is akin to a consuming fire, powerful and transformative. As you explore this concept, you'll find His presence sweeps through, much like a blazing fire, leaving nothing untouched. What's remarkable is that while His presence engulfs you like fire, it doesn't inflict harm. It's like being embraced by warmth without any burn.

BIG IDEA: God's presence consumes us.

Understanding God's jealousy is essential. It's not possessiveness like human jealousy; it's a unique kind of caring. His jealousy stems from a deep love and desire for a meaningful connection with you. It's like wanting the best for someone because you genuinely care.

Let this imagery resonate within you: Let His fire consume you. Allow His presence to penetrate your being, purging away what's unnecessary and refining your essence. Imagine it like a refining process, making you shine even brighter.

And remember, when faced with His consuming fire, don't flee. Instead, lean into it, embrace it. His fire is about transformation, not destruction. Let it purify your heart, renew your spirit, and draw you closer to His love.

Where There's Smoke There's Fire

Note: This plan is based on the sermon series from the good people at Youth Pastor Co.
