How To Stir Up Your Faith | Fan Into Flame What God Already Put In You | Ethan BrickerWhat do you do when your faith feels like it's burning less brightly than it used to?In 2 Timothy 1, Paul writes some of his final words from imprisonment to his young friend and ministry partner, Timothy. Paul knows his own death is approaching, yet instead of telling Timothy to start over, he gives him a powerful command: “Kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you.”The Greek word Paul uses is ἀναζωπυρέω (anazōpyreō)—to rekindle, revive, stir up, or fan into flame.Paul isn't telling Timothy to find a new revelation, chase a new experience, or discover a new spiritual gift. He's reminding him to tend the fire God has already placed within him.Your faith doesn't always need something new. Sometimes you need to remember what God has already done.In this sermon, Ethan Bricker explores what it means to stir up your faith, rekindle your spiritual fire, and continually tend to the presence of God within you.

Pastor Jaime continued our Revival Month series with a powerful message that challenged us to pause, refocus, and lean into all that God is doing in this season. We were reminded that God is calling us deeper, inviting us to rediscover our purpose and walk fully in what He has for us.

Iron Sharpens Iron (Proverbs 27:17) Nate Beck The opening devotional centered on the idea that spiritual growth requires godly relationships that challenge us.Key points: • Just as iron sharpening iron creates friction, spiritual growth often comes through correction, mentoring, and accountability. • True friends help expose blind spots and encourage growth rather than simply telling us what we want to hear. • Christians should not be offended by constructive feedback when it is given in love. • Believers are called to help sharpen one another so they can grow stronger in their faith and resist spiritual attacks.A practical example was given from both professional mentoring and Christian fellowship, emphasizing that people often achieve growth because someone challenged them to improve.#### 2. Stir Up the Gift of God (2 Timothy 1) The main teaching focused on stirring up the gifts, faith, power, and calling that God has already placed within believers.Major themes included:• The resources believers need are already available through Christ and the Holy Spirit. • Studying and meditating on Scripture is how believers "stir up" what God has placed inside them. • Feelings should not lead a person's life; God's Word should. • Fear, worry, and doubt were described as distractions that can hinder believers from walking in their calling. • God's power, love, and a sound mind are already available to believers, but they must actively engage with Scripture and faith. • Worry was contrasted with faith, with an emphasis on replacing fearful thoughts with God's promises. • Believers should focus on God's purpose and calling rather than being distracted by less important activities.#### 3. Walking in Love A significant portion of the message emphasized that:• Love is central to the Christian life. • God's love ("agape" love) is a choice and a spiritual nature, not merely an emotion. • Christians are called to love others regardless of whether that love is returned. • Faith operates through love, making love essential for spiritual growth and effectiveness.Theme #4: Stop Letting Feelings Lead• Feelings were described as followers, not leaders. • Fear, worry, and doubt were portrayed as distractions that pull people away from God's purpose. • The antidote is renewing the mind with God's Word and speaking God's promises.Theme #5: Walk in Your Calling• Every believer has a God-given purpose. • Many people know what God has called them to do but allow distractions or fear to delay obedience. • The message encouraged listeners to return to the assignment God originally placed on their hearts.Theme #6: Love Is the Foundation• Faith works through love. • Agape love is an act of will, not merely an emotion. • Christians are called to love others whether that love is returned or not. • Walking in God's love is central to living out God's will.### Main Takeaway The central message was: Believers must intentionally stay in God's Word, allow it to shape their thinking, stir up the gifts and power God has already placed within them, walk in love, and embrace the calling God has given them rather than being driven by fear, feelings, or distractions.### One-Sentence SummaryHerb's sermon challenged listeners to stop being driven by feelings and fear, immerse themselves in God's Word, stir up the gifts already placed within them, embrace their calling, and walk in the love of God.

What if the greatest move of God in your life isn't something you watch, but something you're part of?In Part 6 of The Acts of the Disciples, Pastor George Sawyer reminds us that the Book of Acts isn't just the story of apostles, it's the story of ordinary believers empowered by the Holy Spirit to change the world. The same Spirit that transformed the early church is still at work today, calling every disciple to discover their purpose and use their gifts for God's Kingdom.Drawing from Acts 2, Ephesians 4, and the relationship between Paul and Timothy, this message explores how God builds His Church through supernatural connections. The Day of Pentecost was about more than just the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, but a picture of God's heart to unite generations, cultures, and people from every background into one Spirit-filled family.Whether you're young or old, new in your faith or have followed Jesus for decades, you have a vital place in the Body of Christ. God has uniquely gifted you, and now is the time to "fan into flame" what He's placed within you.If you're searching for biblical teaching on Acts 2, Pentecost, the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, discovering your purpose, Christian discipleship, Ephesians 4, church unity, mentoring, or God's calling on your life, this message will encourage you to step confidently into all God has prepared for you.In this message you'll discover:Why the Book of Acts is about every disciple, not just church leadersHow Ephesians 4 explains every believer's role in the ChurchWhat Pentecost teaches about unity across generations, cultures, and backgroundsWhy supernatural connections are essential for spiritual growthHow Paul and Timothy modeled biblical mentorshipHow to overcome fear and boldly use the gifts God has given youIf this message encouraged you, subscribe for weekly biblical teaching from Calvary, share it with someone who needs encouragement, and leave a comment letting us know how God is helping you discover and use your gifts.

No matter what season you're in, God is still at work!“I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].” - Philippians 1:6 AMPCTime is one of God's greatest gifts. Every season has a purpose, and every season is an opportunity to grow. Rather than wishing for a different season, God calls us to make the most of the one we're in, trusting that He is faithfully accomplishing His work in us as we bloom where we're planted.Three keys to being fruitful in your current season:1. Stir Up the Gift That's in YouDon't allow the gifts God has placed within you to remain dormant. Stir up your gifts and choose to be on fire!2. Remember Your CallingYour circumstances may change, but God's calling on your life remains. Stay faithful where you are, trusting that He is preparing you for what's ahead.3. Choose to Magnify GodIn Psalm 34, David declared, “Oh, magnify the Lord with me,” while he was running for his life. He chose to make God bigger than his circumstances. As we magnify the Lord, our perspective changes, our faith grows, and we become fruitful, even in hard seasons.Wherever God has planted you, make the most of this season. Trust that He is at work in you, growing your faith, shaping your character, and preparing you for what's ahead!Restore Church | Yorkville, ILSunday Mornings | 10 AMJordan & Melissa Gash, Pastorshttps://www.restorechurchyorkville.com

Send me a Text Message!Vance Havner, a preacher and revivalist born in 1901 once wrote these words,"The early Christians did not need a shot in the arm every Sunday to keep them going. They knew Jesus and they upset the world and worried the devil and gave wicked rulers insomnia and started something that jails couldn't lock up, fire couldn't burn, water couldn't drown, and swords couldn't kill. This world has never been moved by cold, calculating brass hats but by fools, with their facts on fire. We are suffering not from a lack of correct heads, but of consumed hearts."125 years later, perhaps we need more consumed hearts? If so, join me in praying, "God stir up our spirits!"

Stir up the Gift!

February 22, 2026Hebrews 10:19-25Pastor Nick Shaffer

In this message, we walk through Romans 1:11 and the biblical foundation for spiritual gifts. Paul's desire to "impart" a pneumatic, Spirit driven gift is connected to stability, calling, and Kingdom Builders participation. You'll hear a clear breakdown of spiritual gifts in three categories: administrative gifts (Romans 12), leadership gifts (Ephesians 4), and manifestation or power gifts (1 Corinthians 12). We also cover how gifts are distributed by the Holy Spirit, why the church cannot neglect them, and how prophecy, impartation, and spiritual alignment help believers step into their assignment. If you've wondered what you're called to, how to discover your gifting, or how prophetic presbytery works, this sermon is for you.

Pastor Hilton opens his message by reading 2 Timothy 1:6, where Paul exhorts Timothy to stir up the gift of God within him. He clarifies that this gift is not merely a natural talent or skill but a holy, specific calling placed by God according to His purpose and grace. Using the example of Timothy's grandmother Lois and mother Eunice, he illustrates that gifts can be a spiritual heritage, passed down through faithful generations. However, he emphasizes that God can also impart new gifts directly to anyone at the altar. The pastor warns against neglecting or allowing life's distractions to let this gift grow dormant. He urges the congregation to remember that their gift is necessary for the health and growth of the church body. Drawing from Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12, he explains that believers are interdependent members of one body; each person's unique gift, whether prophecy, teaching, giving, or showing mercy, is meant to be used in concert with others for collective edification. He challenges any judgment or prejudice that would undermine another's contribution, insisting that spiritual gifts are distributed by the same Spirit. Pastor Hilton concludes by calling for a fresh stirring of these gifts in 2026, emphasizing that now is the time to dust off, renew, and activate what God has placed within each believer for the furtherance of His kingdom.

Father tell us to respond to the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
