Ed Young, Jr. founded Fellowship Church in the Dallas area in 1990, and since then, he has expanded his popular ministry to six additional locations, and has cultivated a strong presence in cyberspace. At the Creative Pastors website, one of his several online destinations devoted to helping people grow in faith, he archives numerous sermons and other resources for fellow church leaders and the public.
In his sermon series titled “Ignite: Fanning the Flames of Faith,” Pastor Young notes both the positive and destructive aspects of fire: It can burn, but can also refine and purify an individual’s soul. In exploring “fiery” topics of interest to modern audiences, who often feel disillusioned, he hopes to help them realize the possibilities that often present themselves during times of trial and difficulty.
The “Ignite” sermons discuss the figure of fire in the Bible’s account of the prophet Elijah, who called down fire from heaven to demonstrate the power of God to the priests of the Canaanite deity Baal. The sermons go on to relate the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, whose steadfastness in refusing to renounce their beliefs can bring a sense of encouragement and inspiration to people today, who may feel as if they live in a world devoid of faith.
