Revive Church Sermons

Have you ever been in a season where it feels like things are being cut back?Not destroyed. Not missing. Just cut back.In this message from Revive Church, Pastor Stephan Kilgore teaches from John 15 and explains why some seasons are not punishment, rejection, failure, or death. Some seasons are pruning seasons. And if we misidentify the season we are in, we may panic in a place where God is actually trying to produce more fruit.Jesus said, “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.” That means your life is not ownerless, the church is not abandoned, and the season you are walking through is not meaningless.In this message, you will learn why the Father has the shears, how to discern pressure from pruning, why pruning is painful but not punishment, how to tell the difference between God pruning, self-pruning, and the enemy attacking, and why God is after fruit, not just activity.If this message speaks to you, share it with someone who needs discernment in their current season.Subscribe for more messages from Revive Church that help real people follow the real Jesus.Learn more about Revive Church: https://revivechurch.com

What if the thing you are complaining about is the very thing you once prayed for?

In this message from Revive Church, guest speaker Pastor Jonathan Peña teaches on cultivating gratitude and why thankfulness is not just a nice attitude. It is a spiritual discipline that changes how we see God, our lives, our blessings, and even our struggles.

Using Psalm 103 and the story of the ten lepers in Luke 17, Pastor Jonathan reminds us not to forget the benefits of the Lord and challenges us to return to Jesus with gratitude, not just receive from Him and move on.

In this message, you will learn why gratitude must be cultivated, how entitlement keeps us from seeing God’s goodness, why serving others helps break selfishness, how to broaden your view when you are too focused on one problem, and why expressing gratitude changes the atmosphere around you.

If this message helps you, share it with someone who needs to be reminded of God’s goodness.

Most people do not fall apart because of one bad moment. They fall apart because pressure exposes what has been holding them all along.

In this message from Revive Church, Pastor Stephan Kilgore closes the Stronger on the Inside series by teaching from 2 Corinthians 4 and showing how God builds people who can be pressed but not crushed. This is not about pretending you are strong. It is about letting God build something inside of you that pressure cannot easily destroy.

In this message, you will learn why pressure reveals what holds you, why strength does not happen accidentally, how your inner world eventually leaks into your outer life, why emotional maturity is part of discipleship, and how the presence of God builds stability in your soul.

If you have been carrying pressure, reacting from exhaustion, or trying to look strong while falling apart inside, this message is for you.

If the tomb is empty, then anything is possible. But it also means something deeper. It means Jesus is not just Savior. He is King. And if He is King, then obedience is not optional.Most people want the benefits of Jesus without the authority of Jesus. We want grace without change, forgiveness without transformation, and salvation without surrender.In this message, Pastor Stephan Kilgore breaks down what it actually means to follow Jesus and why obedience is the evidence of a transformed life.In this message you will learn why obedience is not the price of salvation but the proof of it, what it means to truly die to sin and be raised to new life, why sin still tries to regain control of your life, how shame keeps people trapped, and how to walk in real freedom through surrender.If this message challenges you, do not just listen.

What if the real issue in your life isn’t your circumstances… but who’s in control?

Most people don’t actually want Jesus as King. They want Him available when things go wrong, but silent when things are going right. They want resurrection power without surrendering authority.

In this message from Revive Church, Pastor Stephan Kilgore exposes the tension most Christians live in. We say “Jesus is Lord,” but we still try to control our lives.

This message will challenge you to rethink what it actually means to follow Jesus and why the resurrection was never just about a miracle. It was about a King taking His throne.

If Jesus is truly Lord, it changes everything.

In this message you will learn what it really means for Jesus to have all authority, why the resurrection proves He is not just Savior but King, how we unknowingly treat Jesus like a genie instead of Lord, why control is the root of your exhaustion, and how to fully surrender your life to Him.

If this message challenges you, do not just watch it. Respond to it.

What if the thing you’ve already labeled “impossible”… isn’t?

What if the resurrection of Jesus wasn’t just about eternity… but about your life right now?

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why the word “impossible” is one of the most dangerous lies you can believe

• What makes Jesus’ resurrection different from every other miracle

• How the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to you

• Why your story is not over—even if you’ve already given up

• How to move from hopelessness to resurrection life

If the tomb is empty… then nothing in your life is beyond God’s power.
