When was the last time you prayed for revival? Church history is full of examples of God’s extraordinary work in the lives of ordinary people, and the video documentary Revival: The Work of God will give you a front-row seat to see the role that true revival has played in the spread of the Gospel throughout the generations.
In a two-hour journey from Pentecost to the present day, this engaging film explores periods of history when the Gospel spread despite the spiritual darkness characteristic of the day. Divided into eight chapters, Revival will take you to key places like England during the Reformation, America in 1734, Wales during the evangelical awakening, and Northern Ireland in 1859. Through beautiful cinematography and compelling interviews, you’ll learn about memorable sermons in church history and be inspired by pastors like Jonathan Edwards.
Narrated by Jeremy Walker and including commentary from historians and pastors like Sinclair Ferguson, Revival will show you how God sparked biblical faith across Europe and the US in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. You’ll learn about unforgettable past revivals and the ways God displayed His power through church leaders, including many Puritans. Importantly, you’ll be encouraged to pray expectantly for revival today!
Revival comes with both a DVD and streaming option for viewing so you can watch the film however you choose. The streaming option comes with hours of bonus material, including more than twenty hours of conference sessions, sermons, and interviews. You can also download free study guide materials to help you facilitate discussion with your small group if you’d like to dive deep into church history.

The Gift of Singleness
Of all the worldly choices we will ever face, the decision about whether to marry, and then whom to marry, is as crucial as any. If we desire to shine as lights in a dark world, pointing toward Christ in every facet of life, is it fair to say that one way to do so is to embrace singleness? In order to answer that question adequately, we must pay careful attention to what the Bible teaches about the single state.

Can God Use Me?
You can probably think of someone who seems like just the sort of person God would use—someone, say, with fantastic gifts and an attractive personality. Perhaps you’ve wished you were like that person or that you had this gift or that quality so you could be more useful for Christ. Yet while it’s good to want to grow, we must remember: we often don’t measure usefulness the way God does.
