In this week’s episode of our teaching series RUN | FIGHT | KEEP, Pastor Dan Harrison brings a compelling message titled “Not Just for Us” — a powerful reminder drawn from 2 Timothy 2:1-13 that the gospel we carry isn’t only for our benefit but for future generations and the world around us.

Through the lens of Paul’s letter to Timothy, Pastor Dan unpacks the call to spiritual endurance, discipleship, and faithfulness even when life is hard. Using relatable metaphors like the soldier, the athlete, and the farmer, he reveals how each believer is called to a life of discipline, sacrifice, and focus for the sake of others — because the gospel is not just for us, but for those still waiting to hear it.

Whether you’re feeling weak in your walk or questioning the purpose of your pain, this message will stir your heart to press in deeper and trust in the grace that strengthens us. Pastor Dan reminds us that if we die with Christ, we will also live with Him—and that we must pass on what we’ve received to faithful men and women who will carry it forward.

🔥 Lean In

Let today’s message stir something fresh in your heart. Ask God to speak to you as you listen to this Word. Who are you passing the faith on to? What are you holding back that could unlock breakthrough for someone else?

Your takeaway challenge:

Don’t just keep the gospel to yourself. This week, share one thing God has done in your life with someone who needs encouragement. Be the soldier who endures, the athlete who runs with integrity, and the farmer who sows faithfully. 💪🌱🏃

In today’s message, Guard, Pastor Dan Harrison launches our brand-new sermon series, RUN | FIGHT | KEEP. This powerful series dives into Paul’s heartfelt instructions to Timothy, and today’s sermon zooms in on the importance of guarding what God has entrusted to us.

Drawing from 2 Timothy 1, Pastor Dan unpacks how the Apostle Paul urged Timothy to guard the good deposit—the truth of the Gospel, the faith handed down, and the calling of God on his life. Pastor Dan challenges us to reflect on what we are guarding in our own lives. Are we protecting the gifts, callings, and purposes God has placed within us? Or have we allowed distractions, fear, or complacency to weaken our spiritual defenses?

Through relatable examples, real-life applications, and clear biblical teaching, you’ll learn:

• Why guarding your heart and faith is essential in today’s world

• How the Holy Spirit empowers you to stand firm

• Practical steps to rekindle your spiritual fire

• Why spiritual mentorship, as modeled by Paul and Timothy, is crucial for growth

This message isn’t just a teaching—it’s a charge to every believer to stand watch, stay alert, and guard what God has entrusted to them.

Welcome to the Ravenna Assembly of God Podcast! In today’s powerful message, “What’s Your Approach?”, Pastor Dan Harrison takes us deep into Leviticus 10:1-3, a sobering passage about Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, who approached God in an unauthorized way. Through their story, we are challenged to reflect on how we come before God—are we seeking Him on His terms or our own?

Pastor Dan unpacks the significance of reverence, obedience, and spiritual discipline in our worship and daily walk with Christ. He challenges us to consider our posture of worship, the condition of our hearts, and the way we seek God’s presence. This message is a timely reminder that approaching God casually or with the wrong motives can lead us away from true intimacy with Him.

Are you drawing near to God with a heart fully surrendered, or are you offering “strange fire”—worship and devotion rooted in self-interest rather than true reverence?

🔥 Lean In! 🔥

As you listen to today’s sermon, ask God to speak to you. Take a moment to reflect:

👉 Is my approach to God rooted in reverence and surrender?

👉 Am I bringing my best to the Lord, or am I offering what’s convenient?

👉 What areas of my life need realignment with God’s holiness?

This week’s challenge: Pause before you pray. Check your heart. Approach God with humility, seeking to worship Him in spirit and truth.
