Breaking Free

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 3, 2025

Repentance reveals mercy; when we uncover our sin to God, He covers us with grace and restores freedom, joy, and revival power.

1. A Revival That Starts Inside the House of God Every true revival begins not on the street but in the sanctuary. When the Lord says, “If My people,” He’s not addressing the pagans outside Jerusalem’s walls but His covenant family inside. The call isn’t first for the world to get right; it’s for ...read more

Resurrection Reluctance

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 16, 2006

Easter should be a happy day, but for those who first experienced the risen Lord it was anything but joyful. This speaks to how you might experience Jesus at first too.

What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when I say the word "Easter"? Outside of a Christian group you’d probably say "The Easter Bunny," or "Easter eggs." Fluffy white bunnies and eggs have become so much a part of secular Easter that it wouldn’t surprise me if little kids thought that the ...read more
