Exercise Yourself Unto Godliness
We live in a culture inundated with an "instant" mentality and it should come as no surprise that it has spilled over into some of our spiritual expectations. Many believers have come to think that there must be an easy way to live godly; it simply is not so. Godliness requires exercise. In this message we delve into five very practical aspects of this exercise and one outstanding promise.

Come Back to the Joy of the Lord
The attraction of any church needs to be the presence and power of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says the joy of the Lord is our strength. How do we get back to the joy of the Lord. This message gives five practical steps to get back to the place of joy in the Christian life.

How to Have God Come to Your Aid
Paul had many wonderful experiences and special privileges as an Apostle of Jesus Christ but he also had an infirmity in the flesh; a disability of some sort that God allowed to remain in his life to serve as a constant reminder of his own personal weakness and his need for God's strength. Paul earnestly sought the Lord three times to remove this infirmity, but God taught Paul, and teaches us a very important lesson through all this: God's strength is made perfect in weakness.

Fathers, Provoke Not Your Children to Wrath
One of the problems that repeatedly affected the proliferation of revival has occurred within the Christian home. The failure was not in the revival itself, but rather a failure within the families to pass on its life giving principles to the next generation. The Apostle Paul addresses a portion of this problem in sixth chapter of Ephesians when he admonishes fathers not to provoke their children to wrath. This message deals with several ways this can happen in the average Christian home.

We Wrestle Not Against Flesh and Blood
We as believers are in a battle that is fought on multiple fronts, both seen and unseen. Both of these battlegrounds are important but we are prone to give too much attention to the enemies we see while losing sight of the those we don't see. In the course of history revival fires have been extinguished by this very phenomenon; social and political issues have risen on the heels of powerful awakenings distracting good men and ministries from fulfilling their primary work for God's kingdom. Pastors and leaders need to be aware of the fact that the greatest contribution we can make for the future and furtherance of this generation is to stay focused on the work God has given us to do; preaching the Word, persevering in prayer, winning the lost and discipling those we win.

The Benefits of the Spirit
The Holy Spirit is not just a doctrine, He is a person that lives within us. The Scriptures tell us some very specific benefits that are ours due to the Spirit's indwelling. Therefore, it should be normal for every surrendered Christian to see miraculous manifestations of the work of Spirit in us and through us.

An Important Revival Promise
Our text contains a very important Revival promise. Although it is often misunderstood and misapplied, there is still a valuable principle communicated that is found throughout the Scriptures. God still stands ready to bless His people whenever they come as He prescribed.

The Easy Life
Much is communicated about the difficulty of living the Christian life, but our Lord indicates that this is not necessarily so. Our text describes a life that is substantially less burdensome and invites us to come unto Him and experience it for ourselves.

Revival in the Family
When we experience genuine Revival, the very first place it will be seen is at home. Ephesians 5 teaches us that when a person is filled with the Spirit of God, there will be immediate manifestations of spiritual health. He or she will cooperate with the Holy Spirit and joy, gratitude and unselfishness will be the evidence. Imagine the impact a family member would make if these qualities were readily demonstrated in the context of their home.

Humility - The Fertile Ground for Godly Change
Humility - Andrew Murray says its the place of entire dependence upon God; ...the root of every virtue; Jim Berg says it's the frame of mind...that says I am sinful and need God's mercy and I am insufficient and need God's grace. Either way you slice it, we need it. If we ever hope to experience the grace of God necessary to change for His sake and His glory, we need to follow the example of our Lord and Savior and humble ourselves. God resists the proud, but He gives grace to the humble.
