What is the link between revivals in the past and a praying church? In this episode we explore the central place prayer has played in every major revival in church history. David Fritch said, “Don’t despise your small prayer gathering… Every major revival has its origins with a small band of intercessors faithfully crying out! Small gatherings precede big breakthroughs! When we gather to worship and pray, regardless of size, we convene the very court of heaven on earth. Our prayer gatherings are the most important and powerful gatherings in our city."

An introduction to our new podcast. What's been happening in our lives and churches that's given rise to this podcast and it's accompanying sermon series. G. Campbell Morgan once said, “We cannot organize revival, but we can set our sails to catch the wind from Heaven when God chooses to blow upon His people once again.” We believe the time is near for God to blow upon His church again! Jesus tells us to discern the times we live in. And it seems we’re on a precipice of renewal.
