Renewing Revival
We had a great time at our prayer and fast on Saturday (16 August 2008). The theme was revival, and it was explored in many ways.
You may download the talks here.
We use the word 'revival' in our name - and for a very good reason. We preach an active God - a God who is continually making all things new. And our walk also needs to be continually refreshed (2 Cor 4:16), so that we can share God's good things with those with whom we fellowship, work and associate. May each of us have a deep heart's desire that all of our friends and family, whether they are saints yet or not, can be revived to a life that is to go on forever.
Jesus said that when He left His disciples that they would need to fast, so that's what we're doing. Being obedient to our calling, supporting each other, and growing in grace. Please also consider beginning your fast early in some way - evening meals; anything sweet; TV etc. Anything that will allow you to spend more time in the Word and prayer before we actually come together.
I was challenged by a statement I heard recently 'Friends don't let friends go to hell'. If you've been feeling a little flat spiritually, or maybe you've allowed things to drift such that you find it hard to share your good news about Christ, then this is the place to be. If you're on top of the world, then come and share your testimony.
May God richly bless your walk and our work together.
