Glory CA CampfireSanctuary | Reward of SacrificeIn this session, we discussed The Reward of Sacrifice; a heartfelt and powerful conclusion to our Living Sanctuary series. We centered our discussion on Philippians 2:12–18 and 2 Timothy 4:6–8, drawing rich meaning from Paul’s imagery of being poured out like a drink offering, which is offering everything for God’s glory, even if it goes unseen by others.We also unpacked the Greek term for “reward” (misthos), meaning a wage or payment that is not earned in merit but given graciously by a generous God. This helped reframe our view: God isn’t watching to tally points...2025-06-1342 min
Glory CA CampfireSanctuary | Costly GraceIn this session, we discussed the deep and personal implications of what it means to live as a sanctuary for God, centering our conversation on the theme “Costly Grace.” We reflected on how grace, while freely given, comes with a call to radical discipleship and surrender. Using Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s teachings, we explored the distinction between cheap grace (grace without repentance, discipleship, or the cross) and costly grace, which calls us to follow Christ fully, even when it costs us something deeply personal.It was powerful to acknowledge that grace isn’t a license to stay...2025-05-2239 min
Glory CA CampfireSanctuary | A Place of SurrenderIn this session, we discussed “The Altar as a Place of Surrender,” and it was both heartfelt and thought-provoking. We shared personal stories about times we had to make hard decisions that required surrender—letting go of dreams, friendships, comfort zones, or control. Each testimony reminded us that surrender isn’t passive; it’s a powerful, faith-filled act of obedience.We studied Genesis 22:9-14, exploring Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac and God’s miraculous provision. We were moved by how this story not only reflects Abraham’s faith but also Isaac’s trust—he didn’t resist. We...2025-05-0746 min
Glory CA CampfireSanctuary | Fire on the AltarIn this session, we discussed the significance of keeping the fire burning on the altar—a powerful metaphor rooted in Leviticus 6:12–13, where priests were commanded to never let the fire on the altar go out. We explored how this translates into our New Testament reality: our hearts are now the altar, and our lives the living sacrifices (Romans 12:1).Together, we unpacked the symbolism of fire. It can represent the presence of God (like the burning bush), purification (Malachi 3), judgment (the lake of fire), and passion or zeal (Romans 12:11). We saw how fire isn’t just a...2025-04-1838 min
Glory CA CampfireSanctuary | Build, Maintain the AltarIn this session, we discussed the concept of building and maintaining spiritual altars as a way of encountering God and sustaining our devotion. We explored how, in the Old Testament, figures like Abraham and Elijah responded to God’s revelations by constructing physical altars—Abraham building one immediately after receiving God’s promise (Genesis 12:7–8) and Elijah repairing a fallen altar as a testimony against idolatry (1 Kings 18:30).We reflected on how these principles transition into our New Testament practice, where our hearts become the living altar—a sacred space not bound by physical structures but by our int...2025-04-0942 min
Glory CA CampfireSanctuary | Altar of Our HeartIn this session, we discussed the idea that our hearts serve as living altars—a sacred place where we offer genuine worship and sacrifice for our Lord Jesus. We explored how, historically, physical altars in the Old Testament were used for animal sacrifices to atone for sin, while in the New Testament, Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice transforms this concept into a spiritual reality. We looked at Hebrews 13:10–15, which reminds us that Jesus suffered outside the city gates to cleanse our sins, and at Psalm 51:16–17, where David teaches that God desires a broken, contrite heart over ritual offerings.We...2025-04-0340 min
Glory CA CampfireSanctuary | ConsecratedIn this session, we discussed how being consecrated for service means being set apart to fulfill God’s holy purpose. We explored the Old Testament instructions in Exodus 29:1-9, where Moses was guided to consecrate Aaron and his sons through specific rituals—using unblemished animals, special bread, water for cleansing, and sacred garments—to symbolize purity, atonement, and the establishment of a covenant relationship with God. We recognized that these physical elements pointed to an inner transformation that God desired.We also dove into the New Testament perspective in Romans 15:14-22, where Paul describes his ro...2025-03-2941 min
Glory CA CampfireSanctuary | IntercessionIn this session, we discussed the powerful role of intercession in the life of a believer. We explored the concept of standing in the gap for others through prayer, drawing from 1 Timothy 2:1-6 as our foundation. We reflected on how Jesus is the ultimate intercessor, granting us direct access to God, and how we, as believers, are called to intercede for all people—including those in authority, even when we may not agree with them. We shared personal experiences of interceding for friends, coworkers, and even strangers, highlighting how our everyday interactions can serve as...2025-03-2544 min

Glory CA CampfireSanctuary | Priesthood of BelieversIn this session, we discussed the priesthood of believers, exploring what it means to be called a royal priesthood and how this identity shapes our daily walk with God. We reflected on the scriptures 1 Peter 2:9 and Revelation 1:6 which reminded us that we are chosen, set apart, and entrusted with priestly responsibilities.We talked about how embracing this identity means walking in authority and responsibility, not just as individuals, but as a community of believers. We acknowledged that priests in the Old Testament had distinct roles—offering sacrifices, interceding for the people, and instructing them in...2025-02-2839 min
