Our Calling for the New Year

In this sermon by Chris Romig, the focus is on prayer, revival, and spiritual renewal at the start of a new year. He invites the congregation to imagine what could happen if God sent true revival to their church, city, and nation, especially during a year of major anniversaries like America's 250th and Venice's 100th. Chris Romig explains that, biblically, revival is a supernatural work of God that restores spiritual vitality to believers who have grown stagnant, leading to broader transformation in communities. Grounding his message in 2 Chronicles 7:14, Chris Romig emphasizes the importance of humility, repentance, and seeking God's presence through authentic, relational prayer not just ritual. He urges everyone to set aside daily time for prayer and Bible reading, reminding them that prayer is a privilege and a source of real connection with God. Using vivid stories and illustrations, Chris Romig calls listeners to move beyond empty habits and embrace a genuine relationship with God, like a child approaching a loving parent. The sermon closes with a call to unity, humility, and expectation encouraging the church to pray for revival and to trust God to work deeply in and through their lives this year.
