About this sermon

What kind of fire are you carrying? In Strange Fire, Pastor Eric Patterson walks through Exodus 3:1–12, where Moses encounters God at the burning bush. This extraordinary moment reveals more than God's power—it reveals God's desire to draw His people into His presence and prepare them for His purpose. Through Moses' encounter, Pastor Patterson explores what is necessary for God's fire to be active in our lives: obedience, reverence, and the removal of distractions. Just as Moses had to turn aside to encounter God, we must create room for God to work in us and through us. This message also highlights why every believer needs the Holy Ghost. We cannot fulfill God's calling in our own strength. The Holy Spirit is our Helper when we are weak, our Refiner when we need growth, and our Empowerer when God calls us to something greater than ourselves. God's fire is not meant to be strange to us—it is meant to transform us. In this message, you'll discover: • Why obedience is necessary for experiencing God's fire • How reverence positions us to encounter God's presence • The importance of removing distractions from your life • Why the Holy Spirit is your Helper • How the Holy Spirit refines your character • How the Holy Spirit empowers you for God's purpose 📖 Scripture Reading: Exodus 3:1–12 ✨ Key Takeaways • God's fire is connected to His presence and His purpose. • Obedience, reverence, and focus position us to encounter God. • Distractions can keep us from hearing God's voice. • The Holy Spirit helps us navigate life's challenges. • The Holy Spirit refines us into the people God has called us to be. • The Holy Spirit empowers us to do what we could never do on our own. 🌍 CONNECT WITH US 💻 Website: https://www.concorddallas.org 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/concorddallas/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ConcordChurch 🎥 Concord Worship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCPY5VPYbWpL5bK94dUqBuQ 📍 Join us in person! 8:30 am & 11:00 am -- 6808 Pastor Bailey Dr, Dallas, Tx 75237 👨🏽‍💼 CONNECT WITH PASTOR CARTER 💻 Website: https://www.bryancarter.org 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrbryanlcarter/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mrbryanlcarter
