Our text today is a continuation of that conversation. One can only ...read more

    Joy Of Salvation

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 8, 2025
     | 204 views

    Revival is not about guilt trips, programs, or emotional hype — it is about seeing God afresh and rediscovering the joy of salvation. True revival happens when we move from obsessing over our failures to fixing our eyes on the God who forgives, restores, and renews.

    “Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and uphold me with Thy free spirit.” Psalm 51:12 Introduction – Passion Misplaced The kingdom of God is not going to advance simply because our churches are full of people. No — the kingdom of God is going to advance when the people who are in our ...read more

     | 4,606 views

    The precious blood of Jesus Christ, offered by Himself, purifies not only outwardly, as the Levitical sacrifices on the day of atonement, but inwardly unto the service of the living God. His death is the inaugurating act of the new covenant, and of the heavenly sanctuary.
