We need a spiritual revival because our focus has shifted, our hearts are disheartened, our joy has lessened, and our spiritual work has been interrupted.
Today, I want to talk about why we need revival as individuals and as a church. Revival is like a breath of fresh air that brings new life to our faith. It restores our passion for God, fills us with joy, and renews our commitment to serving Him. There are four main reasons why we need revival: our ...read more

God would not ...read more
