Catch The Fire Church Raleigh

Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Matthew 6:9 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139:13-14 Abba, I belong to You. Thank You for being my perfect Father. Thank you for supporting me like nobody else. Thank You for forming me with absolute perfect intentions. I am loved by You. Holy and majes...

And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Matthew 6:12-13 We owe God everything because he paid our debt in full through Jesus Christ. Everything we have done or will ever do has been forgiven. The Father does not hold any grudges. It is forgiven. The...

But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Matthew 6:6 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. James 4:8 Countless times Jesus left the disciples to go spend time with His Father. Our Father wants to spend time with you. He values you so much that He w...

Give us this day our daily bread. Matthew 6:11 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. John 6:35 Jesus, you satisfy me. The things of the world do not compare to You. You are my source of life. I need you daily. I cannot get through my day without You. Give me everything that I need to sustain myself for...

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you Matthew 6:33 Your love for the Father is directly connected to your desire to seek Him. You cannot grow in love with somebody if you do not know them. Seek Him first in all things. Ask Him first in every situation. The Father wants to show you where to go as well as make sure you are prepared for th...

Jess begins our 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting and sermon series, “Seek First”. The presence of God is no longer a location, but through Jesus, we are now temples of God, dwelling places of His presence. The call for us is to Seek First the face of God and His Kingdom.

Ash preaches from the Christmas story and the promise of Jesus Christ that was delivered to this earth. Mary had an opportunity to say “yes” to the call of God for her to carry and mother Jesus. In the same way, God has given promises to us that we have a choice to say “yes” to and walk in them. We too, are promise carriers, we carry Jesus to the world.

Through Jesus, we carry a portion of His inheritance. Jesus came to redeem God’s blessings to humanity and reestablish a new family with Him. God’s purpose and legacy for us is that we would know Him, love Him, and love the world so that we can come into the inheritance that has always been destined for us.

Aaron weaves his personal stories of family and friends to illustrate the impact of saying “yes” to Jesus and its effect not just on ourselves, but on the generations to come. Legacy begins with surrender and our lives laid down for Jesus.

Duncan kicks off our Legacy series preaching on the Abrahamic Promise, that he would be blessed to be a blessing. God blesses us not just for ourselves, but so all the nations would be blessed, fulfilling The Great Commission of sharing Jesus with the world.

Leading up to Thanksgiving, Jess preaches on Maturing In Gratitude. Through scripture she describes different levels of gratitude, that as we mature in our understanding of them and practice our thankfulness, we can grow in our faith and strength in the Lord.

Duncan preaches out of Acts 13 and distinguishes the differences between the Jerusalem church and the Antioch church. Catch The Fire Raleigh-Durham has been called to be an Antioch Church that sends out and deploys people into their next steps and journey with the Lord. Transition is not always easy but when we are listening to the voice of The Lord, there will always be fruitfulness.

Jonathan preaches out of Luke 15 and The Prodigal Son. The main question is who should have gone out looking for the younger son? In this culture it should have been the older brother. However, through the Parable, Jesus shows us that He is our older brother, and coming to look for us came at a great cost to Him, it costed Him His life. Jesus has come to find us both in our successes and our failu...

A brief summary of this episode

The gospel is an invitation to step deeper into relationship with God and not to remain complacent where we are. Duncan encourages us to consecrate ourselves, laying our lives down before God, giving our everything to Him as He’s given His everything to us.

There are many voices that we can listen to: theories, opinions, culture, and our own values, but we are called to listen to Jesus and love the word of God. As we listen to the word of God, it becomes part of us, leading us into all truth.

Ericka charges us to remember our true identities and to remain firm in who we are. God wants us to walk in freedom and nothing makes the enemy more afraid than believers who stand in their true identities and walk in their God-given authority.

Through Jesus, we have been given the strength to continually walk in forgiveness, saying no to bitterness and resentment. Aaron reminds us of the sobering yet, invitational reality of what Jesus says about God’s urging for us to walk in forgiveness and the keys to our freedom that can be found in being obedient to this call.

We live in a society that says we don’t need one another but God calls us to live in radical connection. He’s calling us to an upward, inward, and outward journey where we are hungry for God to crash in and transform our lives and the lives of those around us.

Jonathan expounds on Luke 12 and encourages us to be good stewards with the resources that God has given us. To grow in wisdom on what God’s heart is for us and His kingdom when it comes to finances and possessions. We can walk in the revelation that generosity and abundance are important to the Lord and His desire is for us to walk in both.

Ash reminds us of the importance of dealing with the issues of our hearts and always returning to love. She shared the story of Mary and the alabaster jar of perfume to illustrate demonstrating love, no matter the cost. There are so many opportunities in our lives to live in offense and opposition towards one another, but we are called to walk in love.

Jess preaches from the Parable of The Sower in Mark 4 and the responsibility that we have to steward the seeds (the words) that God has given us. She discusses the different types of soil that our seeds may fall on and how to keep our hearts fertile soil to receive the words of God for our lives.

Murray continues his mini series on “Knowing Your Calling”. Stepping into our calling is an invitation from God and it’s through His grace, that we have been given through Christ, that we can walk it out. God also invites us into unity as The Body of Christ, and we maintain that unity through the spirit of peace.
