Catch The Fire Church Raleigh

Reggie encourages us that we have access to the refreshing that comes through Jesus Christ and the power of the cross. We need to have a mindset shift, not to just be in wonder of God, but in worship of God. If we don’t focus our mindset on the wealth we have in Christ, we’ll miss the mist-the strength and fullness we have in Him.

As believers, we each have spiritual gifts and are called to express them and disciple those around us, bringing together The Body of Christ. Our platform is not for just the church context, it’s for our spheres of influence and where God has planted us to fulfill His calling and destiny that He’s given us.

God turns our tragedies into trophies of His grace. As believers, there are going to be obstacles that we are going to face, but we can't build muscles without resistance. It's through overcoming with Christ that we grow in our faith and our wisdom. How we respond to those testing moments in our lives defines us and our maturity in our wisdom and understanding of the goodness of God.

Rochelle charges us to embrace “climate change”, embracing the shift of what God is doing in our lives and where He is taking us in the next season. God wants to partner with us in every season of our lives, whether we are in “harvest” or in the “desert”, because there is purpose in every moment. Give us eyes of discernment, Lord, to see what you are doing and when.

Murray continues Aaron’s message, reminding us of the importance of keeping our hearts healed and whole. When tragedy and hardship happens, or when people wrong us, we are invited by the Lord to walk in forgiveness and pursue wholeness and the healing of our hearts. He challenges us to evaluate our hearts and deal with the issues in them, removing any blockages between us and God, and moving forwa...

Aaron challenges us to look at our perspectives. Are we comparing our lives to others, looking at what we don’t have, rather than all that we have been given? Instead, we are called to live lives full of gratitude. When we change our perspective to thankfulness, we go deeper into the heart of God.

On Independence Day, Duncan preaches about us being “in dependence” with God and with one another. He highlights the importance of us gathering as a community of believers to worship God, serve one another, and then go out and serve our cities and our world.

Patricia challenges us to remember the importance of Peace. We are called to pursue peace and lay down the things in our lives that hinder us from truly experiencing the peace of the Lord. The Shalom of God is the complete peace that we can live in even in the midst of chaos and despite our circumstances.

Using Revelation 21, Jonathan brings a message of hope on this Father’s Day. As we look forward to all pain in our lives coming undone with Jesus’ coming, we see he is already making all things new now and calling us His. In knowing we are His today, we can live as fully known and loved, living out our truest identities.

John preaches on the highlight of history: the return of Christ for His bride. John explains why the return of Christ and the events leading to His return need to be a high priority in our faith. He encourages us to keep watch and to be intimate with the Lord

Duncan uses the differences of Esau and Jacob to show that God has a desire to collaborate with us rather than us walking in our own independence. We are called to live in a place of “love needs”, depending on the Lord and one another.

Josh and Olivia Muse, missionaries and leaders of Kaleo International, weave their own personal stories and testimonies of God’s call on their lives and share about the power of the Holy Spirit working in us and through us. Our obedience speaks the language of love to God’s heart and compels Him to move in our lives.

Jess preaches on Pentecost Sunday about the fulfillment of the Father’s promise to us, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Through the Holy Spirit we receive power to preach boldly the good news of Jesus and be His witnesses to the ends of the earth.

Murray begins our sermon series with the Father's promise to us, The Holy Spirit. Jesus said it was better that He ascended to heaven so He could leave us with The Holy Spirit. In The Spirit, we become fruitful in our lives and righteousness and justice is established through us here on the earth.

In a season and year of disconnection, Ash reminds us of the importance of remaining connected to one another, choosing love over isolation. Through Jesus’ example of creating room at the table for us, we can also extend room at our tables for others.

Murray interviews three panelists and members of our church family who, in different ways, carry the Love of God and the Good News of Jesus into their workplaces, the streets, with their neighbors, and whomever comes across their paths. Through their testimonies and experiences, we are encouraged and charged to share the gospel with the people God puts in our lives.

Duncan and Kate continue our series on The Gospel by revealing the fullness of the gospel through Jesus creating a way to The Father. When we receive Jesus as our Savior, we are not only born again, but we are also born into the family of God. God is our perfect Father who desires a relationship with us and wants to know us deeply. All we have to do is invite Him to draw near.

J.T. Thomas uses old relics to demonstrate the importance of laying down the things that have hindered us from love and instead, put on new robes of righteousness. God wants to purify a people with clean hands and pure hearts to ascend up to the Hill of The Lord and walk with Him. Through the reconciliation of all things, God is going to give us divine grace to surrender and a song in us that will...

On Easter, Sunday Duncan explores the revelation of “Oneness”. On the cross, as Jesus took our sin, shame, and sickness upon Himself, He became one with us. When He died, we died with Him, when He was buried, we were also buried, and when He rose from the dead, we were raised with Him. When we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, there is nothing that can ever separate us from Him because we beco...

Murray and Ash share the story of Jesus’ journey to, through, and from the cross. After His death, there was the three-day waiting period. We can find ourselves in that same space, the in-between, waiting on the fulfillment of the promises for our lives, maybe even after experiencing a “death” or disappointments. But there is hope and resurrection for us, that can only be found in Jesus.

Using staggering statistics and book references, Patricia gives insight into the epidemic of “busyness”. God thought that rest, The Sabbath, was important enough to keep it in The Ten Commandments and as His people, we are called to follow it also. Practicing rest in our lives and intentionally entering into “quiet” brings us back into the rhythms of God’s grace, a place where we can hear Him, enc...

Jonathan reminds us that Jesus’ promise to us is that there is never a burden, worry, problem, or situation too big for Him. Through Matthew 11 we see Jesus’ invitation for us to become like little children and draw near to Him, for He will give us rest and he will carry our yokes and burdens with us. In Him we can find true rest for our souls.

We were made to live in union and communion with God. Murray reminds us to tend to our “garden” and allow the Holy Spirit to encounter us as we rest in His presence, read His word, and worship Him. Out of this place of communing with Him, comes fruitfulness and multiplication that will overflow to the people around us.

Through Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, He has given us an all-access pass to heaven. We can stand in confident assurance in His presence and in the heavenly places. Murray challenges us to look at our lives and evaluate where our confidence comes from as he reminds us there is only one place our confidence should come from-the blood of Jesus.

Kate charges us to remind ourselves of the promises of God that have been spoken over our lives. That just like Jesus was tempted in the desert, we too will be tempted to forget the truth of who God is, what He’s done for us, and what He has in store for us and our futures. God doesn’t promise that we’ll avoid hardships, but each difficulty gives us an opportunity for a deeper encounter of His lov...
