“Like the fire in the burning bush — the fire was burning and the leaves and the tree was not consumed; the fire God used to call Moses.”
A Sunday service centered on petitioning God for deliverance from persecutors. The preacher teaches that persecution is spiritual in origin, often provoked by righteousness or success, and calls believers to respond with prayer, holiness, perseverance, praise, and seeking reconciliation when at fault.
“A burning bush that could not be consumed.”
Sermon addressing the 'danger of familiarity' with God — when routine, complacency, or presumption toward God and spiritual things dulls awe, blocks God’s power, and prevents miracles. The preacher warns against taking God for granted, becoming offended by humble vessels, and losing first love; calls people to return to reverent, expectant faith and invites an altar response.
“Moses was in Midian and encountered the burning bush.”
Pastor Johnteris Tate preaches from Deuteronomy 2 that God may allow people to go 'in circles' as a season of conditioning, not confinement, and now commands them to turn north/upward toward the promise. The sermon exhorts listeners to recognize cycles that build endurance, avoid stagnation, trust God, obey His command to move, and praise Him for deliverance.
“Earlier, Moses had seen the fire at the burning bush.”
Pastor Rick DuBose preaches a call to sustained, disciplined prayer — “keep the lamp burning” — explaining Old Testament tabernacle imagery (lamp, oil, manna, veil) to show how God’s supernatural provision flows into the natural when the church and individuals maintain daily prayer, corporate responsibility, and Holy Spirit dependence.
