Message: “Fired” from Brian Richardson

Trial by fire is necessary for many, but we often miss out on glorifying God because we can't take the heat! We bow down. Conform. And what we fail to see is that God uses those fiery experiences of life to purge and purify us. The fire doesn't destroy--it burns out the impurities. It refines us. And when you're in the fire for His sake, you'll discover that you're never alone in the flame.

From Series: "Forged in Fire"

The discovery of iron and its uses changed the course of history. Iron ore is first mined and then purified. By adding carbon during the process, iron is transformed into steel, which is much stronger. Both purification and transformation require heat, fire. Just as iron is melted and steel is forged in fire, God walks us through a similar process of formation. Forged in Fire will reveal the spiritual formation process God is using to remove the impurities, make us stronger, and shape us according to his plans and purposes.
