This isn’t a service or a sermon. It’s a sacred fire watch—
a place to stand guard with one another in quiet strength, under God.
“The LORD spoke to Moses, saying: ‘Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil…
that a light may be kept burning regularly.’”-Leviticus 24:1–2
For those weary and heavy-laden, The Watchfire offers rest for the soul.
It’s not a place for performance—but for peace, presence, and promise.
“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”-Matthew 11:28
Their hands once held weapons. Now, their hearts reach out for the One who said:
“You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”-Jeremiah 29:13
