Sermon Summary: 

This sermon introduces a new series titled "From Running to Revival," focusing on the importance of cultivating a desire for God's presence and revival in our lives. The pastor emphasizes the need to move beyond settling for less than what God offers, urging believers to prepare their hearts for a powerful encounter with God. He contrasts the dangers of spiritual complacency with the transformative power of genuine revival, encouraging the congregation to long for God's presence and be willing to consecrate themselves for His work.

 

Key Points:

• True revival comes with both internal and external resistance
• Preparing for revival involves consecration and fervent prayer
• Our actions for God should flow from our intimate relationship with Him
