Our hope is built on Jesus as the promised Messiah. As a believer, this should change the way we live and will be fully satisfied when Jesus returns.

True Revival is a demonstration of the power of God and not just a response to human effort. God has all power and desires to meet our needs, set us free, heal our bodies, and most importantly, save our souls. We don’t just want His power, we actually need it. In our message today we will discuss how essential the power of God is for the Christian, the Church, and the world around us.

"On mission with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made."

A person might ask the question, “Why do Christians need revival?” The simple answer is that God’s people, for whatever reason, tend to spiritually decline over time. There are many accounts of this reality throughout the Bible, and I am sure that most of us have seen or experienced this in our own lives as well. God, by His grace, will pour out His Spirit in a fresh way to awaken us to who He is and what He has called us to do. As we read some of the Biblical accounts where God awakened His people, we will find that His Word played a primary role to bring conviction and response to what He was doing. We know that God’s Word is alive and still causes hard hearts to soften, dead churches to revive, and all people to encounter the living God in a life-changing way.

It’s hard to put into words what it’s like when we truly meet Jesus and give Him our lives. To know that we are unconditionally loved, totally forgiven, and fully known is life changing. How can you not love Jesus with everything that you are? This amazing love causes us to respond in loving Him in every way possible. It’s why we read the Bible, pray, become part of the church, serve people, share our testimony and the Gospel. It’s simple. That’s what love is supposed to be like – simple. However, if we are not careful, something can happen along our journey of following Jesus. We can allow other things to take first place in our heart which has a terrible effect upon our relationship with Jesus. When this happens, we truly need a revival of the heart where once again, Jesus becomes first and foremost in our lives. Today, we will study the words of Jesus to the Church in Ephesus about how to come back to what He wants and rightly deserves.

When someone says “revival” I am sure that many things come to our mind. The word “revival” is not found in the Bible, but the root word “revive” is used dozens of times. This word comes from a Hebrew word that is used hundreds of times in the Old Testament and is typically translated as, “revive, to live, to make alive, to recover or restore.” So, biblically speaking, a reviving work of God is when a person/people are spiritually awakened after being in a state of spiritual dormancy or stagnation. This “reviving” usually causes people to repent, pray, and renew their commitment to God which brings about fresh love, obedience and passion for Jesus Christ. While revival is something that God does, we certainly play a role in positioning our hearts and minds to receive what God wants to do. This requires a fresh spiritual hunger for more of Him. Are you hungry for God to move in your heart and through your life? That’s what we are going to focus on today as we launch our new series, “We Need Revival.”

Christianity is all about relationship. We were made for a relationship with God and there is a longing inside every Christian to know Him more and walk with Him closely. If that is true, then how do we draw near to God and stay near? What does it really look like to cultivate a quality relationship with the Lord that goes deeper than any other relationship that we have? In John chapter 15, while Jesus prepared His disciples for His departure, He assured them that their relationship could always be deep and strong. There are many truths and principles that we can draw from this conversation that will also help us as we seek to deepen our friendship with Jesus.

Every generation has experienced some sort of tension around political issues and there is no doubt that we are currently experiencing this in our times as well. Christians debate over how much and what kind of political engagement we ought to have as we follow Jesus and His Word faithfully. In the midst of answering the, “what do we do about this” question, we must reflect on the role of prayer as a means to influence political outcomes that allow for the mission of Jesus to flourish. Some people think that prayer is a passive cop-out in the face of political tension but what does the Bible say about this? What should the prayerful posture of the Church look like as we engage political realities in our current times? In our passage today, we will explore the truths that the Apostle Paul told Timothy who was facing difficult situations as he pastored the church in the city of Ephesus.
