REVIVE: Broken people seeking a faithful God — If God’s Against It, So Am I.

Pastor Chris Andrews (Discipleship + Missions Pastor) - Romans 6:1-23 (Romans 5:12 & 19-21; 6:1-6, 12-13 & 23; 12:2; James 1:15; John 10:10; Titus 2:11-15; Proverbs 4:23-24; 14:12; 28:13; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 1 Peter 2:9-12; Ephesians 5:1-14; 1 Corinthians 7:2; Hebrews 13:4; Galatians 5:16-26; 2 Timothy 3:1-5)

 

Can you feel it? Can you feel the spiritual condition of the world around us? To be honest, it is not just the condition of the world around us, but the condition of our own hearts. Is it possible that we could be so used to going through the motions of the Christian life that we have slowly adapted to a powerless and passionless life? Are we missing something? Could God be shaking us right now to awaken His people to the life, passion, and power that we were created to live out? What if we stopped, listened, and responded?

This world might be in a mess right now, but God is not finished! We might be broken, but our God is still faithful! God greatly desires to REVIVE His people to the power and purpose that we were created to accomplish. Together, let’s take a journey to seek God and ask Him to Revive our hearts!

Listen to this message about the importance of making the decision, "If God's against it, so am I." The Bible describes sin as a force that brings death, sickness, broken relationships, and eternal consequences.

In Romans chapter 6, the Apostle Paul addresses the church, by saying "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid." We praise God that Jesus came to save us from sin and all its negative effects in our lives but sometimes, we grow comfortable allowing things in our lives that God forbids and has set us free from.

It's time to live in victory and see a path forward past our struggles with sin.
