Thought for the Day by Phil Moon (Vicar)The power of the love of God, come and stand in awe The last revival on the UK mainland happened 100 years ago this month, in Lowestoft. And when we lived in Lowestoft we had people in our church who actually experienced it. Their memories were vivid, and quite extraordinary! So do read what follows from Christopher Wilding: Revival: a sovereign move of God wherein individuals and whole congregations are brought to repentance and renewal, resulting in the spreading of the Gospel with great power out into society, bringing many to Christ and effecting radical changes for good within that society. I long for revival. Revival in Hove and Brighton, Sussex and out to all corners of the UK. Revival being a sovereign move of God means that we ourselves cannot bring it about. But we can pray. Historically revivals are preceded by seasons of prayer, by individuals, groups and congregations. We can start by first asking God for our own personal renewal and revival. Cry out, 'Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths'. In seeking God this way we are treading a path that many great saints have taken before us. Should you decide to follow the call to pray for revival, I would like to suggest one starting point, (one of many), that I have found most helpful. The modern hymn, Come O Sinner, is a hymn that brings me to my knees. It shows me again the great depths of love the Father has for me and for each one of us; for surely His only Son 'was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.' Verse 1 Come, O sinner, come and see Christ the Lord upon a tree See the crown of thorns adorn the King Who labours to breathe in agony Come, O sinner, come and see What our God became to set us free Verse 2 Come, O sinner, come and mourn For He calls your sin His own Do you feel the weight of justice served? He suffers the wrath that you deserve Come, O sinner, come and mourn For He bears the curse for all you've done Chorus Oh the wonder of this awesome scene Where our Saviour bleeds Oh the power of the love of God Come and stand in awe Verse 3 Come, O sinner, come rejoice Mercy fills this place of scorn For He dies to save His enemies That all who draw near may know His peace Come, O sinner, come rejoice Through the death of Christ death is destroyed Music and words by Jordan Kauflin. © 2019 Sovereign Grace Praise Available to listen on Youtube, search 'Come, O sinner', from the album 'The Glorious Christ Live', and online at https://sovereigngracemusic.org/music/songs/come-o-sinner/ Bible by the Beach - This Saturday 1st May 2021Please click on this link below for more information: https://mailchi.mp/49f60ba13f0e/so-much-to-pack-in-to-a-day?e=b699edbce3 A message from Phil MoonPlease click in the link below for Phil's message on seating arrangements in the church: https://youtu.be/nc0sgvrz7RA Restarting this Thursday in the YACC |
