Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Romans 8:16 + Romans 5:5-11 (1 Thessalonians 5:19; Psalms 139:23-24; Romans 5:5-11; 8:16; John 3:16; 1 John 4:19; Revelation 2:4; James 4:4)
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!
God has given us His Spirit to indwell in our hearts. His Spirit guides, convicts, empowers and gives life. If we are not experiencing this today, then something is wrong! Could it be that we have quenched the Spirit of God and hindered what God wants us to do.
We need to revive our hearts and renew our relationship with God, but we must start with the right motive. We must seek to restore our relationship with God because we love Him. Do you love Him? Does your love for God show in your relationship with God? It truly is not about religion, but about a relationship with Him!
