Foundations For Revival
Episode description
Foundations For Revival
The message series we are preaching through this season is 'Favour Follows Firm Foundations'
Psalm 72:6
Your favour will fall like rain upon our surrendered lives, like showers reviving the earth.
DON'T LET THIS SEASON BE ONE OF ‘JUST SURVIVAL’....LET'S CHOOSE TODAY FOR IT TO BE A SEASON OF REVIVAL!
The the bible teaches us that we can lay a foundation for that REVIVAL to become a reality for us....
ARE YOU READY FOR REVIVAL?
3 FOUNDATIONS FOR REVIVAL...
- Revival Always Starts With Salvation
Acts 3:19 MSG
Now it’s time to change your ways! Turn to face God so he can wipe away your sins, pour out showers of blessing to refresh you, and send you the Messiah he prepared for you, namely, Jesus.
"Say yes to Jesus"
- Revival is Always caught in community
Acts 2:46:47 MSG
They followed a daily discipline of worship in the Temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful, as they praised God. People in general liked what they saw. Every day their number grew as God added those who were saved.
What does that look like? (NOTHING HAS CHANGED)
Be in the room - virtual room - Be present and engage with others....
Be on a team - virtual team - This is how you can serve, how we can keep reaching people, keep growing, keep raising leaders and inspiring our community.
1. Share this service to your social media world
2. Share your story - tell people about your faith community experience and how it builds your life and the life of your family
Be in a life group - virtual life groups - Your life group is your life boat....
- Revival is fuelled by fire
1 Thessalonians 5:19
Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit.
Paul's letter was somewhat addressing this impatience of a church expecting Jesus to return any day....Paul was bringing encouragement around what to do in the waiting........Keep the fire burning...Revival is fuelled by fire....
What is fuelling your FIRE, in this season of isolation?
Feeling impatient, worn out, tired, frustrated, empty or powerless, living the ISO life....let's pray, RIGHT NOW, and ask God to fill our lives with the Power of the Holy Spirit!
Invite the Holy Spirit to set your life on fire
Jesus, this is my decision
Today I say yes to you
You died on the cross
To pay the price for my sin.
I invite you to be my saviour.
Come into my life.
Forgive my sin.
Fill me with the power of your holy spirit.
Amen
