In the first message of this series, we looked at the universal desire among Christ followers for “revival.” We explored the meaning of revival, and were encouraged as we seek revival within ourselves to pray the words of King David from Psalm 51 – “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” We must seek to be holy before God when we pray for revival because God also tells us in Leviticus – “I am the Lord your God. Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am holy.” As we seek revival, we must also seek to live in holiness empowered by God’s Spirit within us.

Before we launch into our study of the twelve men Jesus chose from among His disciples to be apostles, it is important to make a distinction between Jesus’ hundreds or thousands of disciples and the twelve He chose to empower and send forth as His representatives in the ancient world. We also often overlook the fact that many of Jesus’ disciples were women. God’s Word gives us several lists of these women who followed Jesus and served Him during His earthly ministry.

Believers often talk about “revival.” Many churches and denominations hold “revival” services from time to time. Most of us desire and pray for “revival.” But what exactly is revival? In this message we try to answer that question.

Go and Make “Disciples”

This message is intended to introduce you to Immanuel, God with us, and then once you have been introduced to Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, Christ Incarnate, you will be asked to respond to His invitation to join Him.

The Resurrection

Jesus’ Death and Burial

There are many things that hurt a church and can potentially destroy its testimony. The primary one is poor leadership or false teachers who fail to build the church on the Word of God and keep it centered around the Gospel. Another thing that often weakens a church is a congregation that refuses to follow its leaders. As a result, strife among congregants often leads to irreversible results and exposes such things to the full view of the world around us. Therefore, every church leader and every church member must work together to keep in step with the Spirit and be faithful and obedient to the call and commands of Christ.

Jesus’ Crucifixion

You can have tremendous success in this life. You can be book smart and possess every ounce of common sense available, but if you die without knowing Jesus, every bit of it will be in vain. King Solomon wasted a lot of time thinking he was in the right place. Fortunately, he discovered this truth, repented, and left this world truly knowing God.
