The Revival Series - #1 'The Church that lost something' - Brian Leifeste

"Revival is not churches filled with people but rather the church filled with God

Isa. 57:15 For this is what the high and exalted One says— he who lives forever, whose name is 
holy: “I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, 
to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.

Why a series on Revival? 

1. As the _________________ goes so goes the ____________________________. 

Ephesians 1:22,23
“He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”

The church is the body of Christ. Christ is the head; the church is the body.
He has plans, desires and directives, but He cannot carry them out unless each member of the body cooperates.

2. What God will do in America _________________ on what the church will do. 
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

“Bend the church and bow the world.” 

“Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.”  – Charles Spurgeon

Definition of Revival:  When a Community of the Faithful ___________to God’s Message.
                                   An Extraordinary Movement of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:17
                                   A Time of __________________________ With God & His church.
                                   A Re-Encounter With God’s Word, Work, and Mercy that again 
                                    ________________ our passions, our heart, our priorities.

3. Jesus and His church - ‘The church who ___________________________.’ Rev. 2:1-7 

Jesus says: 
5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place--unless you repent. 


He who has an ear, let him hear……What is He saying to us?
