Christians must evaluate claims of revival by Scripture. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains why crowds, emotions, and miracle claims cannot establish that a movement is from God. Drawing on 1 John 4:1 and Acts 17:11, he outlines four principles for biblical discernment: submit to God's Word, look for Christ-centered teaching, examine lasting spiritual fruit, and exercise patience. True revival magnifies Christ, proclaims the gospel, and produces repentance and obedience.

This sermon was first delivered on a Thursday evening in the March of the previous year, and then repurposed for reading on the first Lord's day of the year 1890. It is a delight to think that Spurgeon would preach something so sweet and substantial at an ordinary midweek service, and no surprise to find such a topic so well suited to the opening of a year. Here he develops the sermon with us, moving us on from point to point, thinking about the wonder of man blessing the God who blesses, the spirit in which we go about that happy work, the God whom we bless—that Jehovah who has made himself known to us in mercy—, and the self-awareness that we ought to exercise, as we address ourselves in the face of all discouragements within and without, to go on blessing the God of our salvation. Here is a preacher marked by simplicity of speech, plainness of address, and warmth of tone. Here we are stirred not just to think about what it means to bless the Lord, but to get involved with the business, and to get on with it, that the Lord shall not lack a witness to his majesty and mercy from us.

In this episode of The Gospel Way Catechism, we explore Question 10: "Who Are We?" Answer: We are persons loved by God, created to love God, love others, and care for the world he has made. We become like what we love. Our identity is found not by looking within ourselves but looking up to God. Through Scripture and conversation, we consider what it means to find our true identity in God rather than in our accomplishments, relationships, or the approval of others. The discussion explores how easily we can lose sight of who God says we are and begin believing false narratives about ourselves. Ultimately, we are reminded that our worth rests in God's unchanging love, and that we can continually return to this truth through repentance, remembrance, and faith.

How do we change our conduct? Ephesians 4:20–24 prepares us for the morning sermon in public worship on the coming Lord's Day. In these three verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that we put on the new man by learning Christ. The devotional explores the transformative process of sanctification described in Ephesians 4, emphasizing that believers are called to put off the old self and put on the new man created in righteousness and holiness. It reasons that this renewal is not achieved through human effort alone but through hearing and being taught by Christ, Who addresses His church through the preaching of the Word. The central theme is that the truth of Scripture is found in Jesus, and it is through the Spirit's work in this teaching that believers are united to Christ and conformed to Him. Pastor highlights the importance of viewing the public ministry of the Word as a direct encounter with Christ, rather than merely receiving human instruction. This perspective shifts the focus from personal weakness to the active, ongoing work of Christ in shaping the believer's thoughts, affections, and will toward glory.

In the midst of life's uncertainty and darkness, the sermon presents Jesus as the light of the world, offering hope and direction through faith. It emphasizes three spiritual practices for navigating unclear paths: first, praying for just enough light to take the next step, trusting that God will provide further illumination as one walks in obedience; second, seeking sensitivity to the Holy Spirit's guidance, especially when decisions seem promising but may carry hidden dangers; and third, opening one's heart to the transformative truths found in Scripture, which can reveal future blessings even before they are understood. The message underscores God's faithfulness in opening unexpected doors, even in restrictive environments, and affirms that divine light is present both in clarity and in darkness. Ultimately, it calls believers to trust in God's sovereign guidance, knowing that His promises are reliable, even when the way ahead remains unclear.
