🔥 Revival doesn’t end at the altar—it’s sustained in the Word.
This week, Pastor Andrew continues our Back to the Basics series with a powerful call to return to the foundation of all spiritual life: the Word of God.
We’ve shouted, cried, and worshiped—but if revival doesn’t drive us deeper into God’s Word, it becomes a memory instead of a movement. In this message, Pastor Andrew reminds us that the Bible is not on trial in our generation… our generation is on trial before the Bible.
đź“– Key Message Themes:
The Word of God is perfect, unchanging, and infallible—it doesn’t evolve to fit culture; culture must bow to it.
The Word is our lamp and our path—guiding us through confusion, fear, temptation, and decisions.
The Word builds and strengthens us—producing maturity, stability, and spiritual resilience.
The Word works—it creates, convicts, and accomplishes what God intends.
The Word must be obeyed, not just admired—because faith without application fades.
🌿 Scripture References (NKJV):
Psalm 119:89–90 • Romans 12:2 • Isaiah 40:8 • John 1:1–14 • 2 Timothy 3:16–17 • Hebrews 13:8 • Matthew 5:17–18 • Psalm 119:105 • Isaiah 30:21 • Philippians 4:6–7 • 1 Peter 2:2 • Isaiah 55:10–11 • James 1:22–25 and more.
đź’ˇ Key Quote:
“Emotion can spark you, but only the Word can sustain you.”
đź•Š Practical Challenge:
30-Day Word Plan: Read one Psalm + 10 verses from the Gospels daily. Journal one truth and one next step.
Family Scripture at the Table: Read a verse before dinner; ask, “What does this show about God? What will we do with it?”
Sword-in-Hand Sundays: Share how a verse guided your week.
🎯 Takeaway:
If His Word is settled in heaven, let it be settled in your heart.
If His Word is unchanging, let it be your standard.
If His Word is living, let it shape your life.
🙏 Join us as we go Back to the Word—where true revival is sustained, lives are transformed, and the church becomes unshakable.
