Reveal Gathering

When in seasons of drought, we look to the mountains of life and become weary of what we are up against. Yet, our solutions will never be found in those mountains, but rather only through Christ. In Scripture, we are reminded and encouraged that certain seasons in life are meant for a divine reason. Rather than trying to place a limit on God, eliminate any power of the enemy by calling upon the Name of the Lord.

The clarity of our sinful nature and need of a Savior prompts us to respond in repentance and obedience. Often, practices which propel this desire comes from a life of prayer. Yet prior to Christ and His new covenant, we read how God required sacrifices as a means of cleansing. In the life of Abraham, we see that on Mount Moriah, bring his sacrifice to God meant bringing his everything.

For every mountain high, there is a low valley. Seen in the first chapters of Genesis, God sovereignly intervenes in Noah's life, warning him and his family of the incoming flood. When God wants to bring us to those mountain moments with him, we must realize there is a season of flooding too. But just as the Ark landed Noah onto Mount Ararat with the promise of the rainbow, so too does God fulfill His promises to us.

In our worship, in our requests, in our prayers, we all seek and anticipate for global revival. Yet for God to move on a global scale, God must first work in you. Blessed to be joined by brother Mark Moldovan, we are reminded that if we are wanting to fan the flame of God's saving power around the world, we must first walk in obedience in our own lives.

Today, it is never more needed than for our personal relationship with the Father to be publicly apparent and alive. The good news of the Gospel is the testimony of Jesus Christ. Through Him, His testimony gives us the assurance of eternal life. It is through that confidence of faith, that we are to be propelled into overcoming the world.

If you know God, you know love. With God's Word as our guiding truth, His truth in 1 John leads us down the path of love. In the same way, if you do not know God, you do not know real love. True love requires sacrifice. You have to love your neighbors as yourself. No matter what will event from extending forth to those around us, we have confidence in our relationship with God, because we are fulfilling the will of the Father.

1 John 1 A true sign of a Christ follower is if they love their brother. Through our authentic love, the love Christ displayed for us is what we are to extend to others. Walking in the light means that we understand who God is, what His Word means, and what He wants from us.

From Jesus and the Apostles to the early Roman church and Luther, 600 years later, the Gospel story soon found itself on America’s soil. The Good News of the Gospel was needed in a newly founded land which did not have their definition from God. Through faithful men like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, God brought revival through these familiar grounds, which is ever more needed for our culture today. Revival starts with you.

From the one person of Christ to His subsequent 12 disciples, the way of Jesus found itself in a position of power and notoriety. With the social and political influence that the church gradually imposed, the Catholic church no longer was mirrored to the original purpose placed by Jesus. What seemed to be sparked by one man in Martin Luther, was quickly blazed by men who were willing to stand for truth.

If one thing is clear about God, it’s that He has a heart for humanity. The Heart of God - a 11 week series based out of the Gospel of John.

What started with 12 apostles, soon found itself hiding in result of direct persecution. With cultural leaders trying to hide the light of Christ, started off in a time or turmoil. Yet, in the same area, Christianity also found itself as the main religion in the Roman times. With a political emphasis the Gospel, the church quickly found itself splitting into different beliefs. Because of lack of order we have church splits and little church plants. Yet, the truth found only in Jesus thrived to save us today, centuries after The Dark Ages.

The birds in the air with no worries of when their next meal will come. And yet, how much more does God value us? When waking up, the anxieties of life continuously bombard us, attempting to take our eyes off Jesus. Our loving savior promises in His Word that He will care for us as He is the One who created us.
