After wrestling with the concept of holiness in the previous blog, I am now wrestling with what holiness looks like in action. If holiness is being set apart for God, how does that practically shape how we live as individuals? And what does it mean for the church as a whole? It’s one thing to talk about holiness but another to live it. Being a good person doesn't cut it; being a godly one does! Ho...  Read More

Holiness is a lifelong pursuit, but it is worth it. We cannot be holy by our own strength but by abiding in Christ and yielding to the Spirit. Let us answer the call of 1 Peter 1:15-16 by striving daily to reflect the holiness of our God. ...  Read More

The church was never meant to be complicated. In Acts 2, the early church thrived by focusing on the basics—devotion to God’s Word, fellowship, prayer, and making disciples. But over time, many churches drift from these foundational principles, leading to spiritual decline and, eventually, death. As we return Back to the Basics (click to listen to the Vision Sunday Sermon), we must recognize the w...  Read More

The Cost of Growing a ChurchThere’s a strange phenomenon that happens when a church starts fulfilling its mission—when it actually starts reaching the lost, discipling new believers, and growing in ways that reflect the power of the Gospel. You’d think that everyone would be rejoicing, right? But instead, some people—the ones who have been there the longest, growing the lease, sitting comfortably ...  Read More

In a world full of distractions, temptations, and self-indulgence, it is easy to drift away from the cross. What begins as small compromises—skipping prayer, neglecting the Word, justifying sin—can quickly turn into a life that is no longer centered on Christ. The Bible is clear: the world is constantly pulling us away from God, and without staying anchored to the cross, we will find ourselves los...  Read More

As we step boldly into 2025, I am reminded of the incredible opportunity each new year brings: a chance for renewed focus, deeper faith, and fresh encounters with God’s presence. At Ignite Church, I believe this is far more than just another day on the calendar—it’s a divine invitation to be transformed from the inside out. The Apostle Paul captures this beautifully in Romans 12:1-2, urging us to ...  Read More

Evaluating Our FocusAsk yourself:-What dominates your thoughts and time?-Does your focus draw you closer to God or further away?-Are you more concerned about what the world says or what God says?Proverbs 4:25-27 (NASB) offers practical wisdom: “Let your eyes look directly ahead and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you. Watch the path of your feet, and all your ways will be established. ...  Read More

For Christians, the tithe represents more than a mere financial transaction. It’s an act of worship, trust, and obedience that acknowledges God’s provision in our lives. While tithing is a biblical principle, the tithe's true impact lies in the giver's heart. As Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 9:7, "God loves a cheerful giver." In a world where we set our tithe up on an automatic payment, here’s ...  Read More

Gossiping is often seen as a harmless conversation topic, something trivial, like sharing the latest news or an interesting tidbit about someone. We have all done it! However, when we delve into Scripture, we see that gossiping is far from a benign act; it’s a destructive force that can tear apart churches, relationships, and even our spiritual lives.Gossip in the BibleThe Bible addresses gossip i...  Read More

The Bible repeatedly calls us to mature in our faith and to lead others in doing the same. This path can be broken down into five distinct stages of discipleship, each representing a unique season in our spiritual development. I read an article a few months ago and the author had thes...  Read More
