Stephen posted a video to Instagram: Revelation 4:1-2 Raptured to Heaven Here in the beginning on Revelation 4 we see John raptured up into heaven and the beginning of the 7 years of the Great Tribulation. We jump to multiple passages to help expand on this idea. #RCdailybread https://instagr.am/p/CNNUXPjj3z7/

REVIVAL In 1722 a group of persecuted Christians fled from their homeland and resettled in what is today Eastern Germany. There were Lutherans, Baptist, and Reformed believers all trying to start over again. On May 12, 1727, the community entered into a covenant to emphasize the points they agree on, rather than stressing their differences. The result was a high stress on the importance of prayer. On August 13, 1727, at a communion service, they felt the pour of the Holy Spirit fall upon them. (Yes, even the Reformed members... 😉😂) There was such a nearness to God that it was reported, "we didn't know if we were nearer to earth or nearer to heaven." Members of the church who weren't even at the meeting reported the same experience 20 miles away. All they knew was that they wanted to let the Holy Spirit have total control over their lives. Inspired by the Scripture Leviticus 6:13 ‘A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out.' The congregation determined that constant prayer should always be lifted up to the Lord in their church. A rotation of 24 men and 24 women was started and continual prayer began on August 27, 1727. That prayer meeting lasted for over 100 years... The little church did grow, but never over 300 members (many of which were there at the beginning.) But over the next 100 years they would send out 300 missionaries around the world, multiple times more than any church like that had ever done before. It was their missionaries who met and inspired men like John Wesley, who would take their revival fire over to the Americas and become a pivotal part in the Great Awakening. What can we learn from the Moravians? Well, learning to stress our similarities rather than our differences would be a great start. And then simply praying that GOD would do again what He has done time and time before. Lord, bring us revival. https://instagr.am/p/CNNFrGYL-t8/

Stephen posted a video to Instagram: Revelation 3:14-22 Laodicea, the Lukewarm Church of Today What does it mean to be lukewarm? Why is that so bad? And what does real zeal and Intimacy with Jesus look like? Bonus study of Song of Solomon 5. 😉 #RCdailybread https://instagr.am/p/CNKwQn_FZg1/

Got teens? The Revival Church will be starting up the youth ministry again at pastor Joe's house in the near future. Are you a teenager (or you know one) who wants to know what the Bible really says? This young adult study has never been fun, games, and candy for the kids... we study the Bible, challenge each other, ask hard questions, discuss controversial topics, and we have a great time doing it. Our young adults need the Word of God alive and in their hearts. No more kids church. It's time to "drop the bib and pick up a rib." Stay tuned for more. 😉😊 https://instagr.am/p/CNFr8F_gJgB/

Stephen posted a video to Instagram: Revelation 3:1-6 The Dead Church of Sardis Why is this church called dead? How can we strengthen what remains? What do these churches need to go back and remember. Thank God for Luther, Knox, and the Wesleys... I pray we would still heed their voices. #RCdailybread https://instagr.am/p/CNFlDXfgp8c/

Stephen posted a video to Instagram: Revelation 2:12-17 Pergamos the Compromising Church It's when things get easy that compromise rears its head. We must be careful. Are we compromising? Or are we living consecrated lives? #RCdailybread https://instagr.am/p/CNAbM75nmNO/
