Angleton First Assembly of God

Revival doesn't solve all our problems, but it does produce a joy and strength to help us in life. It's like having the wind at your back. A key factor to play a part in revival is repentance, the adjustments made to get in line with the wind.

From sadness to gladness, hopelessness to hope, unbelief to belief, a heart slow to believe to a heart that burns. Is this even possible? How? The answer is YES! God is a God of hope, and He is specializes in matters of the heart!

Most believers would agree that America could use a revival about now. And we may be seeing some early signs of it - outside of America as well. This message focuses on some things to keep in mind as we ask God for a move of His Spirit.

Some hindsight, especially pertaining to the segment on respect, has prompted this qualifier. This message is directed at 'typical' marriages with 'typical' issues where husbands and wives need to learn how to better handle their differences and conflicts, and hopefully give some insight into our gender-driven needs. It is not intended to oversimplify problems that may exist in a marriage facing critical issues, including abuse and flagrant sin. It is directed at how we interact with our spouses to improve our marriage; not to simply 'take it' in an unhealthy situation from either spouse.

Bucket 1 + Bucket 2 = Bucket 3 ----- What does this mean? Well, there just isn't enough space here to explain. You'll have to tune in!

Our personal agenda can keep us busy to the point of neglecting our God-given assignments. Some key lessons to can help us balance the two are found in the three prayers Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane.

Purpose deals with 'why'. Assignment is more about 'what'. In school we were given assignments, usually called homework. Our God-given assignment is more like our 'until we get home' work. Your assignment is of great importance.

The three big questions of life - Where did I come from? Where am I going? Why am I here? Of the three, it's the last one that is the focus of this message - why am I here? In other words, what's my purpose? Important question!

This is the first message of our 4-part series called Reset. Simply titled 'Your Life', it focuses upon the importance of priorities and living life with wisdom. The time we have is a gift from God, and we need to spend it well!

As we move into 2023, let's do so with faith and determination. Let faith stretch you and move you out of your comfort zones. Be open to new things, new ideas, and new relationships. Go forward in faith toward the things that lie ahead!
