The Panting Fire

The Panting Fire Sermon:
David Zigler - Coastal Pastor
10 March 2013

The Psalms provide vivid metaphors for drawing close to the heart of God like, "As the deer pants for streams of water so my soul longs for the living God."
Some current songs engage our hearts at the same level like this tune, "Set A Fire" by Will Reagan & The United Pursuit.
This week we pause in our Renovatus sermon series to explore these power-punched metaphors (panting & fire-setting) from the ancient worship tune of Psalm 42 & current psalm-like tune Set a Fire.

Renovatus: The Story of Law in Jesus

Renovatus: The Story of Law in Jesus

The Story of the Law only has fulfillment in Jesus.
Let's follow Jesus together in living out this Story of fullness and freedom.

(Thanks to B. Mclaren for his research and synthesizing of the 6 kind of stories mentioned in this sermon.)
