When we work, God waits; when we wait, the Lord works. Jonathan preaches about the Acts 1-2 template for revival and then shares the story of the 1949 Hebrides revival - a community saturated with God.
Mary, Martha and Lazarus all underwent major life transformations between Jesus' visit at their house in Luke 10 and his stay in John 12. Jonathan points out the beautiful example of Jesus at home with them in John 12 and what it took for them to get there.
Sin begins with simple disobedience. It deceives our hearts and clouds our minds. Jonathan uses the story of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4 to illustrate the steps sin takes and how we can rule over it via heart obedience and devotion to Christ.
We all struggle with the Romans 12:11 call to be fervent in spirit and not be lacking in zeal. The good news is that we cannot produce true spiritual fervor on our own. Sam discusses how we can get our “pot of soul” directly in contact with the fire burner of the Holy Spirit.
