The central theme of the sermon was the significance of spiritual fire as a symbol of God's purifying presence and the necessity of keeping this fire alive in our hearts. Pastor highlighted the importance of prayer as the spark for revival, the exchange of burdens in prayer for God's purpose and peace, and the role of repentance and God's Word in maintaining a fervent spirit. The message culminated in the idea that while we can prepare for revival, it is ultimately God's breath that turns the spark of our efforts into a blazing fire of spiritual renewal.

In 'Just a Spark | Fresh Fire Part 2,' we were reminded of the vital role fire has played throughout history and its symbolic representation of God's purifying presence. Pastor shared how fire draws people together and how, biblically, it signifies God's presence leading and purifying His people. We were encouraged to consider if God's word and presence are like a fire in our lives, urging us to rekindle our spiritual fervor through prayer. The message emphasized the importance of maintaining the fire on the altar of our hearts and provided practical steps to ignite and sustain the fire of revival through prayer, repentance, and seeking God's presence.
