“Discovering the Fire” | Pastor Roberto Chaple

Sunday Worship
Written By New Hope

What do fire and the Holy Spirit have in common?

In this Pentecost message, Pastor Roberto explores how fire—something humans never invented but simply discovered—mirrors the arrival of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. As the apostles gathered, they were filled with the Spirit, and tongues of fire appeared above them. It was the spark that ignited a movement.

Just as fire was the foundation of civilization, the Spirit is the foundation of the Church. Fire brings energy, motion, and creativity. Pentecost wasn’t a revival moment—it was a birth moment.

Pastor Roberto invites us to ask:
Are we trying to revive something... or are we ready to carry something new?
Because when God’s fire falls, our role is simple: pour gasoline where we see it.

Worship transcends personal preferences and consumer mentality; it’s about offering our entire being to God as a living and holy sacrifice, aligned with Romans 12:1-2. This sermon explores how true worship is not about receiving but giving—giving our hearts, minds, and bodies in service to God, as guided by our values at New Hope. Join us in rediscovering worship that’s cooked not to our liking, but as God desires—a heart-made worship that transforms and aligns us with His will. Let’s break away from the consumer mentality and enter a worship that transforms and connects us deeply with God’s purpose for our lives.
