Text: 2 Kings 22:3–20; 23:21–25
Big Idea of the Message: The renewal experienced by Israel during the reign of King Josiah began with a return to the Word of God.
Application Point: To the extent that we devote ourselves to Scripture, we will experience a revival of faith in our lives together.
Revival Definition 1: From book - Global Awakening: How 20th-Century Revivals Triggered a Christian Revolution “the work of the Holy Spirit in restoring the people of God to a more vital spiritual life, witness, and work by prayer and the Word after repentance in crisis for their spiritual decline”
Revival Definition #2: From the book Jesus Manifesto by Len Sweet and Frank Viola
“every revival and restoration in the church has been a rediscovery of some aspect of Christ in the process of answering this critical question. In fact, three features are present in every awakening in the history of the Christian church:
(1) a rediscovery of the ‘living word,’ or the Scriptures and its authority;
(2) a rediscovery of the loving Christ and His supremacy; and
(3) a rediscovery of the living Spirit and the Spirit’s gifts and power to manifest Christ in the context of culture. God has a history of taking seriously people who take God’s Word seriously
Even in our relationships, career and commitments we need a revival. A reviving of our commitment and vows.
It’s not easy to be faithful, focus and fruitful.
King David had 20 sons one one reigned. There’s too much attrition and atrophy in the body of Christ
There’s too much attrition and atrophy in the body of Christ
Attrition: the action or process of gradually reducing the strength or effectiveness of someone or something through sustained attack or pressure.
Atrophy: gradually decline in effectiveness or vigor due to underuse or neglect
If one of those random ideas/thoughts blessed you and you want to be a blessing then going right ahead shorty
