"If these (people) remained silent, the very stones would cry out." Another shouting stone is the one that sealed the tomb in which Jesus was laid. In its closing, it declared that Jesus was King in death. In its being rolled away, it declared that Jesus is King over death! He is risen! 

Jesus leaves us with only two options: reject him or receive him as King.

Because sin is relentless, we need Gospel vigilance.

Because God is faithful, we dedicate our selves, our space, and our stuff. 

Leaders set the example. Leaders seek God's will. Leaders sacrifice their expectations.

Spiritual Renewal and Church Revival are expressed in WORSHIP.

Renewed and Revived WORSHIP features:

CONVICTION

CELEBRATION

CONSECRATION

If we want spiritual renewal in our lives, if we want revival in our church, we must receive God's Word with readiness, reverence, and responsiveness.

What happens after a significant win? The tendency and temptation is to celebrate and then to coast. It's good to celebrate, but we cannot coast! Instead we ask, "what's next?" Then we assess and address the issues that remain, looking to the Lord for grace and growth. 

Resistance intensifies when you are making progress. But focus leads to finish. And focus requires us to know the work, know the truth, and know our role.
