Valley Creek 101 is next Sunday. If you’re new, have never attended, or know someone new, this is a great next step. Take a minute as a circle to talk about who you can invite. Register at valleycreek.org/valleycreek101.

Also, celebrate anyone joining your circle for the first time and those who invited them! Let’s keep building a culture of invitation and asking God who He wants to be in your circle.

We discovered five things about fire in our conversation this weekend. Look at the questions for each one, and continue that conversation as a circle.

1. There is no fire in the world. (1 Kings 18:25-29, Ecclesiastes 6:7)

- Where are you tempted to look for fulfillment outside of God?

- What has promised life but left you wanting more?

2. Fire authenticates. (1 Kings 18:36-39, 1 Peter 1:7)

- Where do you see evidence of God’s work in your life right now?

- How is your faith being refined in this season?

3. Fire falls on sacrifice. (1 Kings 18:33-35, Romans 12:1, and Psalms 51:17)

- Your sacrifice could be time, money, treasure, or your heart. What is God inviting you to place on the altar right now, and what does that look like?

- Do you offer God your Sabbath and tithe? If not, why?

4. Fire is missional. (1 Kings 18:39)

- If the fire of God burned more brightly in your life, who might be impacted?

5. Fire creates an open heaven. (1 Kings 18:41-45)

- We can’t do anything without God, and He won’t do it without us. What would it look like for you to prepare and pray in this season?

Lord, may we be a people with radiant faces, burning hearts, and holy lives in Jesus’ name.
