Reign Fire Church

  Many churches risk becoming places where money gets watched and people get overlooked . There’s a warning against counting cash for value instead of valuing souls. “Feel-good” culture can turn into an addiction to hype , replacing real spiritual formation. Church can start feeling like a club membership instead of a mission of evangelism and discipleship. Flashy programs may take the place of prayer and dependence on God . Leadership image can get prioritized over integrity and character . Some avoid confronting sin or hard topics, creating silence on real issues . Popularity can replace purpose , leaving people spiritually abandoned due to pride. The core distinction: many watch (observe without change) but don’t see (understand deeply). Outreach among the homeless and incarcerated becomes a “real-world seminary” where pride and performance don’t work. Being “seen” restores dignity, hope, and trust —like Jesus’ way of loving people. Homeless outreach shows how invisibil...

  Key Points - (More detailed sections follow this one) Discussion addressed the viral Drewski skit about megachurches, with Pastor Jose clarifying that while not all megachurches are corrupted, some pastors in the 21st century have turned ministry into business rather than focusing on spiritual growth.

Scripture-Based Frameworks Produce Orderly, Transformed Christian Living Key Opening Scripture:    Galations 5:16-26 Key Points - Detailed Summary in Sections Below - Scroll Down Biblical scripture serves as the fundamental constitution for spiritual belief, moral conduct, and kingdom living, with God never asking for human opinions on His established principles.

God's character reveals Him as a God of order, and wherever disorder exists, it indicates the devil's influence rather than God's presence. Christians must establish consistent frameworks based on biblical principles to make proper decisions and avoid compromising their faith when sharing it with others. Jesus fulfilled the 613 Old Testament laws through His life, death and resurrection without abolishing them, calling b...

Many believers today have the misconception that it's okay to sin because God will forgive them, but God has a timeframe and gives everyone time to get it together. God is an expert at humbling people when they don't humble themselves, often allowing trouble to get their attention and save them from hell.

Elder Dave explains God’s purpose for men and how that fits with women in His plan. God created both males and females with the same worth, and a man’s first calling is to live close to God and worship Him in everyday life. He is meant to lead like Jesus—serving instead of controlling, and mixing humility, love, and courage so his family and community can grow. Woman is given as a true partner who completes and complements man, so together they can care for God’s world under His authority. Men are not meant to live or work alone, but to walk beside others, treating them with honor as people made in God’s image. Real strength comes from staying connected to Christ and letting God’s Word shape thoughts, words, and habits at home, at work, and at church. A man is called to be faithful in small tasks, knowing only God can bring real growth. He should work to provide for his family’s needs, protect their hearts with patient love, and use words that bring peace. When men and women honor, for...
