Pastor Joel Pollard reminds us that God chose to save the world relationally and that family is a prophetic picture of God's love for the Church. Mission flows from our relationship with God, not what we do. And witness flows from our love for each other that the world recognizes as genuine discipleship. (Jn 13:35)

Sierra Lout challenges us to seek out and really get to know God at a greater level of intimacy. She demonstrates with examples that those who want to bring heaven's justice to earth must come from a place of intimacy and revelation to address the underlying root issues, and not just the superficial symptoms.

Kara Holthe shares her joy in the simplicity and beauty of God's plan of salvation, as she recounts several stories from the book of Acts and her own life. The simple gospel is just as relevant and powerful today as it was 2000 years ago; his faithfulness continues through all generations (Ps 100:5). To see the slides for this talk, click here.
Shandy Pekkonen shares his journey of encountering the supernatural realm from a his early childhood onwards, and reminds us the point is not fascination with the supernatural per se, but the power of God to change lives in the communities where we live.
Tiffany James, author, spoken word artist and our guest speaker for the evening helps us to move beyond our mental barriers of comparison and self-disqualification. May her words encourage us to live boldly inspired by a heavenly perspective of who we are in the Kingdom. (Music under her spoken word segment by Nathaniel Coe III, see https://www.natecoemusic.com.)
Pastor Brent Lokker reviews what we've learned from the book of Acts, and helps us focus on the centrality of the Holy Spirit in any advance of the Kingdom. The secret is always to yield to Him, so that His dynamic life and power is allowed gain victory both in us and through us. To see the slides, click here.
Our guest speaker this week, Dennis Lafayette, shares some of the amazing things that happen when we are willing to take the risk of faith-action in the service of whatever God is asking us to do in the moment. God supplies everything we need, even the faith — we simply get to supply the "yes" and step out to see God work through us in amazing ways.
Pastors Brent and Suzanne share from Acts 12 about Peter's miraculous escape from prison, and how even those who had gathered in prayer were unprepared for the completeness of God's answer to their prayers. For those among us who may be feeling jaded or disappointed about things we prayed for that didn't come to pass as we expected, we are encouraged to repent of any offense that we still carry against God for not having moved in our preferred way or timing, and get ready to be willing and courageous participants in God's current move.
This week, Pastor Brent shows the genius of the Holy Spirit in winning people to himself. In the first case this is shown through Paul's discourse with the Athenians in Acts 17, while the second illustration is from Caleb Byerly's amazing story of reaching a lost people group through obedience to a vision and the prompting of the Holy Spirit. The video clip used here can also be found at https://youtu.be/-fiQIEXI2Yo (used by permission).
In this short audio clip, Katherine Sinon shares prophetic insight on our calling and journey from Psalm 139.
Pastor Todd Lout reminds us of God's supernatural power and authority as illustrated by the stories of Aeneas and Dorcas in Acts 9:32-43. We are encouraged to know that the Miracle Worker lives inside us and that our very existence is a miracle. Therefore, being who we truly are involves the expectation of God's miraculous power breathing though us!
Our guest speaker, Joanne Moody, brings us a powerful message from 1 Samuel 1-3. We learn the vital importance of intimacy and anointing in order to be who we really are and become instruments of God's advancing kingdom, able to fill the earth and subdue it.
Pastor Russ Fochler shares the story of Peter and Cornelius from Acts 10, and how God orchestrated changed minds and hearts to bring the Gentiles into full fellowship, receiving the Holy Spirit and baptism. We too are encouraged to move beyond the status quo, and hunger for the "more" that God has for us. To see the slides, click here.
Pastor Karena expands on Saul's journey from Acts 9. God invites us into a continual discovery of who He is. However, that journey requires our willing engagement, humility along with a listening and teachable spirit (as we see in Saul's example). Embracing growth requires vulnerability and complete surrender! To see the slides, click here.
Pastor Brent reminds us of the simple Gospel message and its power to set us free, if only we would take it at face value. Too often we have allowed never-quite-good-enough, performance-based religion to turn God's good news into a man-made prison! Pastor Brent invites us back to the place where we trust the completeness of God's salvation work in us, and can confidently state that we're fully accepted and loved as God’s favored child! To see the slides for this talk, click here.
Pastor Jean Bosco Hajabakiga, a prominent pastor in Rwanda, shares his testimony, with a focus on how he came to forgive one of his brother after 40 years of hostility and resulting bondage. He also highlights the power we have as believers to bind and loose with the authority of Heaven (Matt 18:18); a power that many of us know about, but don't truly know that we have!
This week, Charles Razzell contrasts the attitudes and outcomes for two men who encountered God's power: Simon the Sorcerer and Paul the Apostle (Acts chapters 8 & 9). God calls us to experience sonship and values us accordingly, whereas many of us still tend to assess each other for what we do. The best possible outcome is when we know who are are in Christ and live accordingly; Jesus being the Vine, and we the branches. Testimonies shared by Stephen Carey and Tina Razzell remind us that God continues to actively call His sons and daughters back to the joy of a living relationship with Him.

Pastor Susan Fochler reflects on the dramatic conversion of Saul on the road to Damascus as told in Acts chapter 9. We learn the significance of Saul's name change to Paul, and marvel at the radical a change of identity and value system the he experienced. We also see that God's powerful intervention, while it contained discipline and correction, was undergirded by an unshakable love for Paul that would guide him into his future as a minister of the gospel.
Prior to the main teaching sermon, Pastor Brent Lokker shares on the topic of listening prayer and guides us through a simple exercise to illustrate how we can adopt the practice for ourselves. Afterwards, he shares of story of how Philip was obedient to the Holy Spirit's promptings and (therefore) ready to share the gospel with the Ethiopian official (Acts 8:26-40). We are encouraged to cultivate a sensitivity to God's voice and the readiness to obey that made Philip so effective in his ministry.
"The Holy Spirit is not like a store!" Joel Pollard shares a powerful message on the importance of embracing intimacy with the Holy Spirit based on the cautionary tale of Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8:9-24.
Blazing Fire's equipping night consisted of a short teaching and practical application exercise in three areas of ministry: prophetic encouragement, praying for the sick and sharing your story. Each of these topics was briefly introduced by a different speaker before giving members of the congregation an opportunity to minister to each other in small groups.
Pastor Brent Lokker brings us a message from Acts 8:1-8, showing how the persecution and scattering following the stoning of Stephen lead the the Gospel being preached more widely, and the Kingdom of God expanding even more vigorously, than before. We are the living legacy of that scattering and have the same dunamis power to be world changers!
Our guest speaker, Prophet Ed Traut spoke a number of prophetic words over those present at our worship service on July 27, 2019. This recording is primarily for the reference of those who received such words and wanted a chance to review or transcribe them.
Our guest speaker, Prophet Ed Traut, brings an impactful message showing how God uses flawed individuals to further his Kingdom, fully aware of the ways they will fail before they succeed.
Pastor Russ Fochler shares the second part of his message on the stoning of Stephen from Acts 6:5–7:60. This time, Pastor Russ expands on what it means to be tender-hearted and alive to the Holy Spirit's promptings such that we put away all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor, forgiving one another as we have been forgiven. This stands in sharp contrast to the tendency of the flesh to seek its own glory, self-justification and dominance. Click here to also see the slides.
Pastor Russ Fochler brings us a profound example of loving kindness and Holy Sprit-guided deportment under the stress of slander, and mob-violence from Acts 6:5–7:60. While this drama may seem far removed from our relatively safe lives, it remains a critical aspect of discipleship that we allow God to soften our hearts and form in us the habit of forgiveness and love towards those who oppose us. See the slides for this talk here.
Pastor Chuck McCallum brings us a powerful message from Acts 6:1-7 showing how the church faced challenge in such a way that it became an inflection point for further growth.
"You know, I was so broken... but God is so God!" Bill & Linda Boone each share moving stories of how the Father's love intersected their imperfect lives and changed everything.
Pastor Brent Lokker helps us take a deeper look at what kind of fear is appropriate in the lives of believers given that "perfect love drives out fear." (1 John 4:18) To see the slides, click here.
Pastor Brent Lokker helps us navigate some of the difficult questions raised by the account of Ananias and Sapphira found in Acts 5:1-11. Some of them may not get a perfect answer this side of heaven! Pastor Brent invites us to take a wider perspective as we draw inspiration from Peter's progression from the zealot who would sever a Roman soldier's ear to a leader who would write to the church pleading for unity, love, compassion, humility and forbearance (1 Peter 3:8-9). To see the slides, click here.
This brief audio clip contains a prophetic word released on June 1st by Diane Jung to encourage those of you who have been perservering and waiting for God’s breakthrough. This is your super bloom year!
In the second part of his message, author and speaker Stephen De Silva shares a biblical and Hebraic perspective on financial well-being. Instead of just focusing on tactics or even strategy, Stephen shares a bigger picture in which identity, purpose and vision take their rightful place.
What would happen if all of Christian our talk began to bear fruit? How would your life change if there was no limitation? Author and speaker, Stephen De Silva brings us a message on removing the limitations that may have held us back from handling the resources of Heaven to our full potential.
Pastor Susan Fochler shares from Acts 4:1-13 how Peter and John, although they were "unschooled, ordinary men," astonished the elders and teachers of the law with their courage, who consequently "took note that these men had been with Jesus." Susan encourages us to realize that as we spend time with Jesus, we too will be changed in ways draw others' attention to Jesus living inside of us!
Pastor Brent Lokker brings a practical activation on the topic of supernatural healing from Acts 3:1-10. Pastor Brent makes this very interactive, so expect to hear several testimonies and inspired words from members of the congregation as part of this week's podcast!
Pastor Brent Lokker highlights the defining characteristics of the fellowship of believers as described in Acts 2:42-47 and Acts 4:32-37. Rather than treat these ideas as confined to the first century, Pastor Brent demonstrates that breaking of bread, praying for one another and taking care of each other's practical needs remain as defining marks of Holy Spirit-inspired communities today. Given May 18, 2019. See the slides here.
Pastor Joel Pollard shares the biblical basis of contemporary Prophetic Ministry from the outpouring of the Spirit on "all flesh" (everybody) in Acts 2:17. He expands on this with real-life examples of how such prophetic words can effectively call out the treasures hidden in our lives and propel us towards our personal calling and destiny.
Pastor Todd Lout brings us a two part message on worship. In the first segment he explains the meanings of Hebrew words that describe various postures in worship. In the second segment, Pastor Todd paints a vivid picture of how worship looked in the early church as described in Acts 2:42-47. With this in mind, Pastor Todd invites us to recapture the awe, wonder and zeal that that made the first fellowship of Christian believers so attractive that "the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
Pastor Karena Lout brings a fresh perspective on Peter's sermon from Acts 2:36-41, with an emphasis on what it means to repent and be baptized (v. 38). She reminds us that Jesus' kindness leads us to repentance, and that we should lead with love rather than condemnation as we seek to bring the good news to those around us. To see the slides click here.
Pastor Brent Lokker demonstrates the reality of Jesus' resurrection through the testimony of scripture and the testimony of human lives rescued by that same dunamis power!
Pastor Russ Fochler delves further into the purpose and meaning of the outpouring of God’s Spirit in Acts 2. A significant part of that purpose was to allow Jesus’ Ekklesia to bring His realm, His answers to a hurting world. But this is not a formula or a method, since the the keys to Heaven’s Realm only come through our relational access to the mind of Jesus about the situations and people Father God desires to help. This relational access is empowered by Holy Spirit being in us and upon us!

Pastor Brent Lokker focuses this week on Peter's first sermon where he explains the significance of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the effects of which were amazing and perplexing to those who witnessed it (Acts 2:12). The availability of the Holy Spirit in these last days is part of God's plan to reach the whole world, and is not something to be confined to the four walls of a church building, nor kept hidden in the secret lives of select believers. "And it will come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh…" (Acts 2:17a)
Pastor David Kim shares how the early disciples first experienced the gift of speaking in tongues in Acts 2:5-13. We learn to appreciate the context of this event in the broad sweep of God's plan of salvation, and are encouraged to make the most of the opportunity we have as modern-day Christians to press in to the richness of our glorious inheritance in the saints.
Pastor Brent Lokker invites us to "picture ourselves among the disciples" as they we are together in one place when the Holy Spirit came in awesome power and filled each one present. The effects were not only felt in that room, but spilled out into the streets of Jerusalem and very soon to Judea, Galilee, Samaria and the ends of the earth. Pastor Brent concludes by inviting us to press in and make their story our own!
Bill Dew shares powerful stories of healing miracles he has witnessed as part of his international healing ministry, in which he trains and equips individuals to step into their authority to bring God's healing power to the sick through prayer. Listen to Bill for a while and you'll likely find yourself agreeing that "it's not complicated — it's what we ought to expect!"
Pastor Bill Hernandez shares an encouraging prophetic insight that many of us are on the cusp of a genuinely new thing, as if the season's about to change and we can sense it in the air.
Pastor Susan Fochler traces Peter's transformation from head-strong to humble, showing how he became secure in his sonship and ready to lead a new move of God. To see the slides, click here.
Pastor Brent Lokker shares how the Holy Spirit baptized and empowered the early church to be messengers of the Kingdom starting in Jerusalem and spreading everywhere. The Holy Spirit is still essential today to enable us to truly impact those around us. Bill Hernandez shares his personal journey with the Holy Spirit and encourages us to persist in our pursuit of a radical Holy Spirit encounter that can't be contained!
Pastor Russ Fochler helps us prepare to be part of the continuing story of the Book of Acts, experientially and practically. Pastor Russ takes us back to what Jesus taught his disciples to expect of the Holy Spirit, who would enable them (and us) to truly be world changers!

After a recent Elders' retreat, each of the Blazing Fire Pastors shares briefly on what they're sensing and excited about for the coming year.
Bill Hernandez encourages us that the Kingdom of Heaven is near and that we are empowered to change our minds (metanoia) accordingly. Even if we've taken a wrong turn, the Kingdom of Heaven is always near and we can access it more easily than we think — as can those currently in the world. "Change your minds, for heaven’s realm is near" - Matt 4:17
Pastor Brent Lokker explores the authority Jesus endowed on his ekklesia (assembly), when He declared, “whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16:19) Brent helps us understand the connection between intimacy and authority: our ability to bear much fruit depends on living in union with Jesus (John 15:5). Specific breakthroughs require specific keys, which can only be discerned through prayer and prophetic insight, again highlighting the importance of relationship over formulas and methods. To see the slides, go to https://www.slideshare.net/rfochler/the-keys-of-authority-brent-lokker
Greg Simas, (founder and Senior Leader of Convergence House of Prayer, Fremont) brings us a powerful message on what Jesus had in mind when he told Peter, “and on this rock I will build my assembly (Greek:ekklēsia), and hades' gates shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18b, Darby). Greg shows us how misleading and unfortunate it is when we accept the usual translation of ekklēsia as “church” and how imperative it is for us to understand what Jesus really said he will build, in order to be empowered to bring His kingdom rule into the places where we live and work (Isa 9:7, Matt 6:10, Matt 28:18-20). To see the slides, click: https://www.slideshare.net/rfochler/ekklesia-foundation-message-one-greg-simas
Pastor Brent Lokker shares a message on the paradigm shift that is underway in the Church, from passive consumerism to a people passionately focussed on Jesus and able to represent Him to the extent that the world gets changed! Rather than passively admiring God's handiwork from a distance, Pastor Brent invites us to courageously take intentional steps towards the dreams God that has placed in our hearts. (Ephesians 2:10). To see the slides click https://www.slideshare.net/rfochler/change-is-good-brent-lokker
Matthew Guillot shares a meditation on God’s intense (but non-controlling) jealousy for our fellowship and attention. The less we struggle to be sufficient before Him, the more he becomes our sufficiency! As we let go of our demands and seek His face and not His hand, intimacy between Christ (as Groom) and the church (as Bride) can grow to become a living reality of our daily walk.
Our 2018 Christmas service including four short messages from Blazing Fire's elders describing how Jesus is the present-day fulfillment of "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" in our lives (Isaiah 9:6). Suzanne Lokker concludes by sharing her experience of connecting with the tender kindness of Jesus this season.
Pastor Todd Lout unpacks the Hebrew word moed (מוֹעֵד), often translated as "appointed time." Rather than waiting for special holy days, we can enjoy a constant appointment with God.
Pastor Brent encourages us to take further steps on our inward journey with Jesus, our Emmanuel. Susan Fochler also shares her recent experience of two-way intimacy with Jesus, including an awareness of being the focus of His attention!
Pastor Brent again encourages us to enjoy that intimate connection with God that Jesus came to make available to us all. Four members of Blazing Fire Church share their personal stories of how they have experienced this for themselves.
Pastor Brent takes us on a journey from understanding that "God so loved the world" to a place of experiencing that intimate, loving connection for ourselves! To see the slides, go to: https://www.slideshare.net/rfochler/the-inward-journey-with-jesus-brent-lokker
