Gut Check Time

Dean Odle calls Fire & Grace Church to examine whether its members still possess the hunger, endurance, and commitment needed for revival. Beginning with Proverbs 26:20 and the image of keeping wood on a fire, he recounts his conversion and ministry journey, contrasts a Spirit-led church with merely institutional Christianity, and stresses the importance of spiritual fathers, sound preaching, prayer, and faithful local-church participation. The sermon challenges believers who appreciate the language of spiritual gifts or revival but remain unwilling to accept correction, responsibility, and the daily work required to sustain a congregation.
