Living the Revive Life

When heaven went silent: the hours that changed eternity. Text: Luke 22:39–54 This series walks us with Jesus through the darkest hours of the cross until the silence of the grave is shattered by the power of the resurrection. Sometimes heaven is silent because redemption is unfolding. Opening … There are moments in life when Heaven seems quiet. You pray… and the answer does not come. You cry out…...

Introduction: Unity is forged in the fire of purpose. Unity does not happen because people like each other or because they attend the same church. Unity is forged — forged in mission, in shared purpose, and in shared battles. Scripture paints unity not as a soft, emotional ideal, but as a spiritual force that advances the gospel, strengthens believers, and frustrates the enemy. There is a truth ev...

Final Episode of the OIL & WATER Series Scriptures: Ezekiel 47:1–12; Acts 10:38 Episode 4 is not like “more of the same. It isn’t a repeat — it’s the prophetic destination of the entire series. Episodes 1–3 were the preparation, but Episode 4 becomes the outpouring. Episode 4 is the “thundering revelation” that makes it not just relevant, but essential, and possibly the most explosive of them...

Our first Testimony on Living the Revive Life with Craig Harding God is going to use you brother! Check out his amazing song "Back from the Bottom"

Bridge to “The Oil of Readiness”: The oil of the Spirit keeps us burning while we wait for the return of the King. The water speaks of initial filling — salvation. Oil speaks of continual fueling — sanctification. You may have been washed once, but if your lamp runs dry, you’ll miss the moment. Our story this morning is about remaining filled with oil; the ongoing presence of the Spirit keeps the...

Today — is about the woman at the well experiencing His living waters… Summary of the scripture… Most of you would be familiar with this story, so I won’t read the entire chapter, I’ll summarize it. In John 4, Jesus sits by Jacob’s well, tired, thirsty, and waiting. A Samaritan woman approaches, carrying an empty jar and not just to draw water; because symbolically she’s not just carrying an empty...

The Holy Spirit is the flow of Spirit and Life — both the water that refreshes and the oil that ignites. The Spirit’s fullness in power is oil and in presence, water. We need both to stay alive in Christ. This is the foundation for this series. Series Introduction: They say oil and water don’t mix. Science says they separate. Culture says they clash. But the Kingdom of God operates on a higher che...

In this final episode, we lift our eyes from our own stories of healing to the far-reaching story of redemption — where every prodigal finds their way home, and every broken thing is made new.  The heart of the Father is calling, “Come home.” And one day, when Jesus returns, that call will echo through creation itself as He restores all things to Himself. Introduction: Coming Home Every great stor...

Introduction: Spring After Winter There’s a moment every year when winter finally breaks. The snow melts, the ground softens, and suddenly what looked like dead earth suddenly bursts into life. Dormant trees bud, little green shoots begin to poke through the soil, flowers bloom, and birds sing. What seemed lifeless just weeks before bursts into color, fragrance, and beauty. But then, after the fir...

What happens when repair isn’t enough… Have you ever tried to fix something that simply couldn’t be fixed? You tinker with it, polish it, patch it up — but deep down you know it needs to be replaced, not repaired. Something so broken that no amount of duct tape, glue, or patchwork could bring it back. Maybe an old phone that just refused to hold a charge, no matter how many times you tried a new c...

We do live in a broken world. People are hurting. And we need Jesus and a genuine understanding that He loves us deeply. We really are who God says we are. And even if you are struggling to believe it, He loves you. We belong to Him. He died for us. And His will is that no one should perish. He desires to establish His identity in you. You are part of His plan, no matter where you came from or wha...

Series Review to date… Over the last three weeks, we’ve walked together through the process of ‘What Happens in the dark room." In Episode 1, we saw that God exposes us to His promise in a moment just like film, the image is already there, even if it’s not yet visible. In Episode 2, we discovered that development happens in the dark, where God shapes, strengthens, and prepares us in hidden se...

Last week in Episode 2, Developed in the Dark we learned that darkroom isn’t punishment — it’s preparation. God uses hidden seasons to shape us, strengthen us, and develop us for what He has already imprinted in our lives. Even when nothing seems to be happening on the surface, God is at work in the shadows. But here’s the challenge: development only works if we let the process finish. If we rush...

The darkroom is not just a place of waiting — it’s a place of working. In the darkness, God is developing in us the depth, strength, and character required to handle the light. In the dark, the image changes from invisible to visible. The conditions you can’t control are the ones God uses most to shape you. _____________________________________________________________ For more info and updates on...

Continuing from where we left off last week, in this part 2, Joseph is given favor while in prison, as leader of the prisoners. [holding in my hand] This strip of film has already been exposed. Light has already touched it. The moment is there — it’s permanent — but invisible. It doesn’t matter how closely you look right now; you won’t see the image. But given time, in the right environment, handl...

[holding in my hand] This strip of film has already been exposed. Light has already touched it. The moment is there — it’s permanent — but invisible. It doesn’t matter how closely you look right now; you won’t see the image. But given time, in the right environment, handled by skilled hands, it will reveal what was always there. God does this in our lives. He gives a moment of exposure — a vision,...

Church, the hour is urgent. The world won’t be reached by Christian spectators. It’s time to be bold, loud, and unashamed; your voice was made for victory. Evangelism is not optional. It’s not occasional. It is the daily outflow of a life that has truly been transformed. If we are truly followers of Jesus, then His mission must become our sacred movement. This can’t be just another message on evan...

You can’t build a godly future on a worldly foundation. In a culture of chaos, confusion, and shifting values, we must return to the unshakable foundation of God’s truth. If your life is going to stand the test of time, the storms, and the trials, it must be built to last. Those who find themselves in a constant ‘wavering of faith’ among us this morning must grab ahold of this truth. The ‘saved to...

In this part two of "Fire Back in Your Bones", Jamie talks about what biblical parenting looks like and the mistakes we can make. And so, we need yet another ‘wakeup call’ this morning. We need to Press Play on something that ebbs and flows but doesn’t remain. Church, we are in a moment. A moment where God is not calling us to more comfort, but to more fire. The cry of this generation is...

And so, we need yet another ‘wakeup call’ this morning. We need to Press Play on something that ebbs and flows but doesn’t remain. Church, we are in a moment. A moment where God is not calling us to more comfort, but to more fire. The cry of this generation is not, “Give me a good church experience.” It’s more like, “Is there anything real? Is there anyone burning for God?” Today’s message, again,...

Welcome to Week 2 of our “Press Play” series. For most of us, this new series will be a challenge. It’s going to push you to make a decision about the direction of your life. No more hesitation. No more delays. No more passive Christianity. It’s time to implement that passion for vision and the pursuit of the will of God. It’s time to build a biblical foundation for you and your family and awaken...

At Revive Church Ohio, we’re starting a new message series called "Press Play." We just finished one of the biggest and most tiring events we’ve ever done— Freedom Fest. But for some of us, there’s no time to rest. For others, this new series will be a challenge. It’s going to push you to make a decision about the direction of your life. It’s time to unpause. "Press play." This series isn’t just a...
