In this message, Pastor Eric ignites our hearts with a call to fan into flame a hunger for God’s presence. He leads us to examine the Fire and Glory of God as a road map to corporate revival.

That the penalty that should have fallen on you, fell on him, this was the design of our Father. The complete innocence of Jesus should move you to cry out, “It’s not fair!” and respond by dying to your sins…your offense…your chronic ailments of fear, doubt. We must die to sins AND live for righteousness. H...
