Faith Church Revive Charleston

This message challenges believers to live with eternity in mind. While salvation is a free gift received by grace through faith, eternal rewards are given according to our faithfulness, obedience, and works after salvation. Scripture teaches that every believer will stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ, not for condemnation, but for evaluation. The choices we make, the way we serve, and how fa...

Throughout the life of Moses, God was working behind the scenes long before Moses could see it. From being protected as a baby in a basket, to being prepared in the wilderness, provided for at the Red Sea, and corrected in the desert, God's hand was guiding every step. Even when Moses failed, God's promises remained faithful. Ultimately, Moses' story points us to Jesus, reminding us that God's gre...

Sarah’s story reminds us that God specializes in doing the impossible through unlikely people and impossible situations. Though Sarah carried years of disappointment, waiting, and unanswered questions, God remained faithful to His promise. Even when she struggled with doubt, impatience, and fear, God continued working behind the scenes. Through Sarah’s life, we learn that our limitations do not li...

Hannah’s story in 1 Samuel 1 reminds us that God sees the pain we carry behind the scenes, especially the burdens no one else understands. Through years of heartbreak, comparison, and unanswered prayers, Hannah continued to pour out her soul before the Lord. Her story teaches us that faith is not pretending we are okay—it is bringing our pain honestly before God and trusting Him with what matters...

Jesus asks a powerful question in Luke 12:42: “Who then is the faithful and wise manager?” This message challenges believers to recognize that everything we have—our time, talents, and treasure—belongs to God and has been entrusted to us for a season. A faithful steward understands they are not the owner, but the manager of the Master’s house. Through teachings on Sabbath rest, serving faithfully...

In this message from Luke 11:1–13, we learn that prayer is not about trying to get things from God, but about building a relationship with Him. Jesus teaches His disciples to approach God as “Father,” showing that prayer is personal and relational. He also shows that prayer requires persistence, daily dependence, and alignment with God’s will. True prayer transforms us from the inside out, helping...

This sermon focuses on the life of Peter—nicknamed “The Rock”—and how his greatest failure was not the end of his story because of the resurrection of Jesus. Despite denying Christ and carrying deep shame, Peter encounters the reality of the empty tomb in Mark 16:1–8 and is personally called out for restoration. Through the resurrection, we see that Jesus not only forgives our failures but removes...

This message highlights the powerful contrast between Mary’s extravagant love for Jesus and the critical, self-serving response of Judas and the disciples. In Mark 14, Mary pours out an expensive perfume—worth a year’s wages—in an act of complete devotion and worship. While others saw it as wasteful, Jesus called it beautiful, timely, and unforgettable. This sermon challenges us to examine our own...

In Mark, we see James and John asking Jesus for positions of honor, revealing their misunderstanding of what true greatness looks like. While they desired status and recognition, Jesus teaches that greatness in God’s Kingdom is found in humility and serving others. He flips the world’s definition of leadership upside down, showing that the greatest are those who serve, not those who are served. Ul...

In Mark 9, we witness a powerful contrast between the glory revealed on the Mount of Transfiguration and the desperation found in the valley below. On the mountain, Jesus reveals His divine nature as the Son of God, and the disciples experience a moment of overwhelming glory. But following Jesus doesn’t keep us on the mountain—He leads us into the valley where brokenness, struggle, and real-life n...

In Mark 8:27–38, Jesus brings His disciples to a defining moment by asking the most important question: “Who do you say I am?” While the crowd had opinions, Jesus wasn’t looking for information—He was calling for personal surrender. Peter correctly declares Jesus as the Messiah, but quickly reveals he misunderstands what that truly means when he rejects the idea of suffering. This passage shows us...

In Mark 5:21–43, we see two desperate situations—Jairus’ dying daughter and a woman suffering for twelve years—woven together to reveal the authority of Jesus. What feels like interruption and delay is actually intentional, as Jesus demonstrates that His authority is personal, sovereign, and supreme. He is not rushed by urgency, shaken by bad reports, or limited by human expectations. Instead, He...

In Gospel of Mark 4:35–41, Jesus leads His exhausted disciples into a storm on the Sea of Galilee, only to reveal that He is greater than the wind and waves. Just as storms could suddenly rush down from the Golan Heights and churn the calm waters into chaos, storms in life often arise without warning. Through this powerful moment, Jesus teaches that fear comes when faith falters, but peace comes w...

In Mark 3:1–6, Jesus heals a man with a withered hand in the synagogue on the Sabbath, confronting religious hardness and revealing the heart of God. While the religious leaders watched to accuse, Jesus saw a man in need of restoration. The withered hand symbolizes diminished strength, lost purpose, and quiet spiritual withering that often happens through disappointment rather than rebellion. Jesu...

In Mark 2:15–22, Jesus calls Levi, a rejected tax collector, and transforms him into Matthew—“a gift of God.” Through three powerful comparisons—the Physician, the Bridegroom, and the New Wine—Jesus reveals His mission. He came to heal the spiritually sick, invite us into a joyful covenant relationship, and introduce something completely new that cannot be contained within rigid religious systems....

Mark opens his Gospel by declaring that the good news is not merely a message, but a Person—Jesus Christ, the Messiah and Son of God. Writing to believers under pressure and persecution, Mark presents Jesus as the true Lord whose authority surpasses all earthly powers. Through the ministry of John the Baptist, God calls His people to repentance and preparation, announcing that the King is coming....

In Scripture, a mantle represents far more than clothing—it symbolizes calling, authority, inheritance, service, and spiritual power. Through the life of Elijah and Elisha, we see that God uses the mantle as a visible sign of an invisible commission. This message challenges believers to recognize the mantle God has placed on their lives, to align with His calling, and to actively walk in the autho...

In a time when false teaching threatens the Church, Jude reminds believers that we are called to be builders—not destroyers. While sin and the enemy seek to tear down our faith, God calls us to actively build ourselves up spiritually. Jude outlines five practical ways to gain strength for the battle: building ourselves up in faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, remaining in God’s love, waiting with...

This message reminds believers that prayer and fasting place us directly into spiritual warfare. Drawing from Jude 11–16 and Ephesians 6:12, we are warned that our struggle is not against people but against spiritual forces of evil. Jude exposes the danger of nominal Christianity and false teachers who reject God’s authority, compromise truth, and divide the Body of Christ. Through the examples of...

The birth of Jesus reveals that God’s plan often comes in unexpected and humble ways that challenge our assumptions. Through Mary’s faith-filled choice, we see the cost and beauty of trusting God even when His plan feels risky or unclear. Jesus came as a baby to be near us, to save us from sin, and to redefine what true power, salvation, and hope look like.

The Feast of Tabernacles reminds us that God desires to dwell with His people and calls us to rest in His finished work rather than striving through our own efforts. This feast points to Jesus as our perfect High Priest, the fulfillment of grace, joy, and salvation, and the source of living water through the Holy Spirit. It also directs our hearts toward future hope, when Christ will reign as King...

e Day of Atonement reveals God’s plan to deal with sin through an appointed time, place, person, and price. While the Old Testament sacrifices could only cover sin, they pointed to Jesus Christ, who fully fulfilled them through His once-for-all sacrifice on the cross. Jesus is the substance of the feasts, our perfect High Priest, and the final atonement, not just covering our sin but taking it awa...

This week we discover Jesus in the Feasts of Pentecost and Trumpets—Pentecost reminding us of the Spirit’s power and Trumpets pointing us to the return of our King. The Holy Spirit empowers us to reach the harvest now, while we live alert and ready for the day Jesus calls us home.

This week, Pastor Steve began our Kingdom Builders series — a yearly focus where we invest in three key areas: Loving our City, Loving our World, and Loving our Church. In Love Our City, we are reminded that Jesus calls us to be salt and light (Matthew 5:13–16). We are the visible sign of God’s covenant to the world — preserving what is good, confronting what is decaying, and shining light into da...

Paul reminds the Thessalonian church that work is not a curse, but a calling. God designed work to be a reflection of His own creative nature and service to others. In II Thessalonians 3, Paul commands believers to avoid idleness and to model diligence, integrity, and service in all that they do. Work is part of God’s divine plan, demonstrated through Paul’s own example, and is an act of Christian...
