Our readings in this series are from the book, Revived! Here is a brief excerpt from pages 26 and 27:
“Revival brings a heightened sense of the Kingdom of God, and of the Presence, promise, and power of King Jesus. When revival catches up a community of believers, it can lead to renewal in their church, so that worship, disciple-making, and mission take on new joy, purpose, and power in the light of Scripture. Churches begin seeking more of the New Normal reported in the book of Acts. And renewed churches become a power for awakening in their community, as the Good News of Christ and His Kingdom reaches lost people by the words and deeds of revived believers.
“This is God’s work, and He has done it very often throughout the course of Scripture and Church history. He teaches us to expect that He will do it again, that He is ready – indeed, always ready – to restore the fortunes of His people and send them as lights of blessing to the world. He can revive His people, renew His churches, and awaken the world; and when such a glorious visitation comes to pass in our day, it will only be because God has done it.”
For a limited time, you can order Revived! together with the previous book in our Read Moore series, The Church Captive, at no cost. Order copies for yourself and for a study group or companion. And you can download a free discussion guide for both books.
