Sunday, November 15, 2009 Host: The Salvation Army Series: The Conditions for Revival On this special program for the Season of Thanksgiving, Speaker Vern Jewett reminds us of just how and why the Thanksgiving Holiday came to be here in America. But even more important than just this one occasion, is giving thanks to God all year long. There is no better way to experience true revival in your heart than to give thanks to God for the blessings He gives us everyday! Listen now and may this be a special Thanksgiving for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 (NKJV)

Sunday, November 8, 2009 Host: The Salvation Army Series: The Conditions for Revival Through the life of a familiar character in Scripture, today we'll see how giving someone the opportunity to experience God's presence in their life can bring about dramatic change to ourselves and to others! More importantly, however, we'll see how imperative it is that we submit ourselves to God and let His will prevail. Join us and prepare your heart for His will in your life. 2 Chronicles 19 (NKJV)

Making Those Difficult Decisions

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, November 1, 2009 Host: The Salvation Army Series: The Conditions for Revival Life is full of decisions. Most of them are not easy. However, when we filter those decisions through the wisdom of the Bible, it becomes very clear that our choice is really between right and wrong. Today, Speaker Vern Jewett helps us to see that for revival to come into our life, our church, our community, and our nation we must be prepared to follow God’s leading no matter what the cost. Listen now and see what God would have you to do today. 1 Kings 15:11-15 (NKJV)

Deviation

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, October 25, 2009 Host: The Salvation Army Series: The Conditions for Revival If there's one thing that will jeopardize success in life, it's to deviate from a plan that's tried and true. This is also true when it comes to spiritual matters. As is evident in today's Scripture passage, following God's plan is the only way He will be glorified and for His blessings to be made manifest in our lives. Join us now and follow God's plan for revival and allow Him fill you with His presence and His peace. 2 Chronicles 8:14-16 (NKJV)

Full Price

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, October 18, 2009 Host: The Salvation Army Series: The Conditions for Revival Who wouldn't be willing to pay any price, no matter what it cost, in order to be guaranteed a place in Heaven? Well, the Good News is salvation is free! Jesus paid the price for our salvation by dying on the Cross of Calvary. But when it comes to being His disciple and having revival come to our heart, we must be willing to pay whatever price is necessary. After all, how could we do any less for the One Who paid it all for us? Listen now and see how your decision today means an eternity of joy this world can never equal. 1 Chronicles 29 (NKJV)

Crossing Over

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, October 11, 2009 Host: The Salvation Army Series: The Conditions for Revival On today's program, Speaker Vern Jewett has us consider a decision that's essential for revival to come into our life. This is our commitment to do things according to God's plan and on His timetable. God's plan can often be very different from what we would choose. It often requires us to take a step of faith. This is why we invite you to listen now and see how God's way is always the best way. Exodus 14:31 15:21 (NKJV)

Prepare as if You Mean It

Sun, 04 Oct 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, October 4, 2009 Host: The Salvation Army Series: The Conditions for Revival As the title of today's message implies, revival requires our complete and heartfelt surrender to God and to the things of God that are found in His Word, the Bible. The Bible has a lot to say about the heart – the center of the will, emotions, and the soul. For it's here that the most important decisions in life are made. It also tells us that the heart is where God looks and sees who we really are. Join us now and open your heart to Him. 1 Samuel 7:3-6 (NKJV)

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, September 27, 2009 Host: The Salvation Army Series: The Conditions for Revival As he begins our series today, Speaker Vern Jewett talks about how important it is to be ready for revival by preparing your heart, mind, soul, and spirit. Through the analogy of a humorous little story, Vern makes the point that we must be willing to remove from our life anything that would prevent God's Holy Spirit from coming into our hearts and showing us the way to Jesus Christ and life everlasting. Listen now and be sure your heart is prepared for Him. Genesis 35:1-4 (NKJV)

Going Deeper Into Witnessing

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, September 20, 2009 Host: The Salvation Army Series: Going Deeper With God As our Series comes to a close today, let's reflect upon the prior weeks of this study. Yes, having a relationship with the Lord requires a complete reversal of our lifestyle and our thought processes. There's a word for this – it's called repentance. It also involves others seeing this change in us – both in our words and in our actions. This is called our witness. But most important of all, there is choosing to accept Jesus Christ to be our Savior. This is called salvation. It is our prayer that you will do this today by joining our Speaker Vern Jewett in our prayer of invitation following his message. Given the uncertain times in which we're living, this will be the most important decision you will ever make. Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV)

Going Deeper Into Discipline

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, September 13, 2009 Host: The Salvation Army Series: Going Deeper With God In his message for today, Speaker Vern Jewett talks about a subject that is not popular in today's culture – personal discipline. The world says "Do your own thing." The philosophy of situational ethics runs rampant. But how many people have we seen glamorized in the media whose irresponsible lifestyle leads them to ruin? However, the Bible gives a very different perspective. Join us and see how growing deeper in your relationship with the Lord and following His precepts is the only way to true happiness and fulfillment. Philippians 2:12-13 (NIV)

Going Deeper Into Suffering

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, September 6, 2009 Host: The Salvation Army Series: Going Deeper With God Without a doubt, today's program deals with a topic that Christians are asked about perhaps more than any other – "Why does God allow suffering." The answer is complex for we don't always know why bad things happen to good people – even Christians. While it has to do with the sin that's in this world and God giving us a free will, these things matter little to the one who has just suffered a great tragedy. In the final analysis, we must trust in God's genuine and steadfast love for us. Please join us now and deepen your relationship with Him. He is the only Way to surviving the devastating storms of life that will come our way. Romans 8:18 1st Corinthians 2:9 (NIV)

Going Deeper Into Acceptance

Sun, 30 Aug 2009 00:00:00 EST

Sunday, August 30, 2009 Host: The Salvation Army Series: Going Deeper With God As Speaker Vern Jewett quickly points out, a prerequisite for the subject of today's message is growing deeper in your relationship with God. Criticism is replete in today's culture. In fact, one could say that the criticizing of others is of epidemic proportion and it’s vicious. However, in today's Scripture verses, Jesus Christ gives a stern warning against this practice. No, we are not to condone sin. We are to hate sin, but love the sinner. However, the judging of others rightfully belongs only to Jesus Christ. Join us now as we embark on this part of our journey to become more like Jesus Christ. Matthew 7:1-3, 5 (NIV)

Series 147: The Conditions for Revival

Often the word "revival" causes people to envision lengthy meetings held at a church every night for a week. Unfortunately, many even question how such an "archaic event" could still have any relevance in today’s culture.

In the coming weeks of this series our Speaker, Vern Jewett, will help clear some of the misconceptions that are so prevalent about revival. More than just a series of meetings at a church, revival is really about dramatic change. For the Christian who has drifted away, revival offers the renewal of his or her relationship with the Lord. For the person who is seeking the way out of the disappointment and sadness of this world, revival is the path that leads to a refreshing new life in Jesus Christ. Join us for this Series and discover how He’s the only One Who can fill the void that's in your life.
