Pathway 3: The Preaching of God's Word – "Revival by Revelation"
Big Idea: Revival is fueled by the faithful and clear preaching of God’s Word.
Key Passage: Nehemiah 8:8 – “They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people understood what was being read.”
Teaching Points:
- Revival Is Rooted in the Word of God (Psalm 119:25, Hebrews 4:12)
- Revival isn’t based on emotions but on biblical truth.
- The Word of God revives the soul and renews the mind.
- The Fire of the Word Produces Conviction and Transformation (Acts 2:37, 2 Timothy 3:16-17)
- When God’s Word is proclaimed, hearts are pierced, and lives are changed.
- Conviction leads to repentance, which leads to revival.
- We Must Not Just Hear the Word—We Must Obey It (James 1:22-25, Matthew 7:24-27)
- Revival doesn’t come from hearing only but from doing.
- Are we applying the Word, or just admiring it?
Methodology & Practical Application:
- Personal Challenge: Read one chapter of the Bible daily and journal what God speaks.
- Church Challenge: Create a weekly Bible study group focused on revival passages.
- Action Step: Memorize one revival scripture this week.
Prayer Points:
- Pray for a fresh hunger for God's Word.
- Pray for bold, clear, and anointed preaching in the church.
- Pray for God’s Word to break strongholds in people’s lives.
Gospel Invitation:
Jesus is the Living Word (John 1:1-14). He came to reveal the truth and set us free. Will you allow His truth to transform you today?
