Title: Getting Ready for Revival - When Revival Comes (#3 of 3)
Series: Revival
Author: Brad Whitt
Text: Acts 2
INTRODUCTION
I want you to take God's Word this morning and find your place in Acts Chapter 2. We have been in a series of studies titled "Revival." We are learning what it is, why it matters, and how to have it.
Example:
I preached at an evangelism conference in Spartanburg, SC, and heard Tom Philips, who's been over Crusades for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association for decades, preach on revival. He said that Billy Graham prayed for an "old-fashioned, Holy Ghost, Heaven-sent movement of God that will sweep America from coast to coast."
If there is anything that the church - and the world - desperately needs today, it is a real Heaven-sent, Holy Ghost-empowered MOVEMENT of God.
-We need it desperately.
-We need it immediately.
-We need it personally.
QUOTE
As Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones, the great preacher from Wales, once said, "I am profoundly convinced that the greatest need in the world today is a revival in the Church of God."
If that was true more than half a century ago, how much truer must it be today?
The modern church, the American church, this church, desperately needs:
-A fresh touch from God.
-A fresh outpouring of His Spirit.
-A holy fire started that will consume this place
-and spread to our homes
-our neighborhoods
-our schools
-our city
-our state
-our nation
-and ultimately, the world.
We desperately need revival!
ILLUSTRATION
During my first trip to Romania, something began bothering me. While traveling and preaching, I was struck by the number of church buildings covering that entire part of the world. I mean, everywhere I looked, there was a church. Some of these churches were very, very old. (Built in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.) Others weren't old at all. There were some churches under construction. But one Tuesday afternoon, I went out w ...
