Time To Light The Fire – Tim Lewis - Lectureship
Teachers
Lesson Summary
Tim Lewis opened the class by defining the various "fires" that can motivate a Christian—personal evangelism, holy living, private devotion, and corporate worship—before focusing on the need for a renewed, Christ‑centered commitment. He illustrated this renewed fire through the imagery of blood, sweat, and tears, drawing on Scripture such as Hebrews 9:22, Matthew 26:28, and John 19:31‑35 to emphasize the sacrificial nature of Jesus’ death and the pouring out of His blood for forgiveness. Tim connected this imagery to the practical outworking of commitment, urging believers to be steadfast in sharing the gospel, training and equipping disciples, and supporting families and ministries that glorify God. The teacher then addressed the question of what true commitment looks like, pointing to Jesus as the ultimate model. He highlighted Jesus’ early dedication at age twelve (John 4:34; John 5:17), showing that commitment begins with obedience and a willingness to serve the Father’s will. The class concluded with a call to reignite the fire within each member’s heart, encouraging practical steps toward a deeper, more passionate walk with Christ, rooted in His example of blood, sweat, and tears.
