Baptized in Fire

Pastor Jonathan Stockstill
Sunday, May 4, 2025

Acts 2:1–4 (NLT) — 1 On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place. 2 Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. 3 Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. 4 And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.

1. Fire that DWELLS

  1. God’s heart is to live with His people corporately.
  2. God’s heart is to live within each person individually.
  3. How do we get the Holy Spirit to dwell within us? We must hunger, wait, pray, and receive.

2. Fire that DIRECTS

  1. He wants to direct out STEPS.
  2. He wants to direct our WORDS.
  3. He wants to direct our DECISIONS.

3. Fire that DISPLAYS

  1. He is not only an invisible God, He is also a manifesting God. 
  2. The unstoppable Church is one of the manifestations of God’s reality, presence, and power.
  3. The Baptism in Fire will continually demonstrate to the world the God that lives within you.
