Fire on the Altar

This post is a outline I used to preach/teach a message on Romans 15:13. As always my prayer is that you will read something here that will allow you to draw closer to the God who loved you enough to leave heaven and die on a cross for your sins. Romans 12:12 NKJV rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; Romans 15:13 NKJV Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 1. Now-The Present is God's Gift to us. God wants to do great things in your life now. That's not to say we will not have to wait patiently on the work of God in our life. Most of the victories I have had in my life has been while I was waiting on the Lord. We must begin to cry out to God right now for the victory we need in our walk. 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about [him]; and [they were] full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy...

Song of Songs 2:4 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 BREAKING NEWS!!!! God is in love with you!!! You are chosen, hand picked, special, and your his #1 draft pick. Even with these verses you can't describe God's love it's immeasurable. you can't even begin to comprehend his love he has shown toward us. The Bible say...

I have been thinking lately on what it means to be hungry for God. There are many promises throughout the Bible that God will satisfy the hungry soul. Here are just a few verses about God filling or satisfying the soul that is hungry and that has set there face to seek Him. Proverbs 19:23 23 The fear of the LORD leads to life, And he who has it will abide in satisfaction ; He will not be visited with evil. Matthew 5:6 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled(satisfied) . Jeremiah 31:25 25 For I have satisfied the weary soul, and I have replenished(satisfied) every sorrowful soul.” Psalms 107: 4-9 4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desolate way; They found no city to dwell in. 5 Hungry and thirsty,Their soul fainted in them. 6 Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, And He delivered them out of their distresses. 7 And He led them forth by the right way, That they might go to a city for a dwelling place. 8 Oh, th...
