Return For Revival

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 13, 2024

OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Play the video “RESTORED.” Israel had wondered far away from its place of origin. As if a child lost in a store, she is drawn away by delights of the eye, sensual insights and an overwhelming urgency to seek her own way.

The Necessity Of Revival

Contributed by Thomas Lanthrip on Nov 5, 2006

What necessitates revival? Sin, willful disobedience to the will of God; many have become cold, indifferent, compromising, sick and spiritually weak churches as a result of sin. Why the letters to the seven churches and what have they to teach us, that

An Unlikely Revival

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 22, 2022

Revival Fires!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 29, 2022

I guess you heard about the two fellows out on a hot sunny day. One of them complained, "I am hot, let's find a place to cool off." The other one said, "Yea, me too! Where do you want to go?"

The grumbler said, "Well, the coldest place I know of is the church down the street, let's go there..." Now, that has been told as a joke on many occasions, but all the humor is drained from it, because it is the truth in many cases. Beloved, God never meant for His church to be a ...read more

Revival Or Funeral

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Feb 13, 2023
