What is God’s View? - O Praise the Name
November 12, 2023 14:43 - 44 minutes - 61.5 MBWelcome to Revive! Join us today as we explore the name of God, Jehovah Tsidkenu — the LORD our Righteousness — and what that righteousness means for us. In a world where morality seems subjective, it’s hard to determine what standard to live by. Is right and wrong cultural? Is it decided by our mentor or who we look up to? Ultimately, we must look back to the God who is our righteousness. In the book of Jeremiah, he cautions against false prophecies and details the peril of straying from Go...

If I believe in God then why am I not already in prosperity, and how can we access God’s provision? Al...

What Does God Want From Me? - O Praise the Name
September 17, 2023 20:34 - 49 minutes - 45.7 MBWhy do I feel so distant? Why won’t God work in my life? Why is it so hard to do the right things?

Who is God? - O Praise the Name
September 03, 2023 21:07 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MBWho is God? Does God have a “real” name? Does it really matter what we call Him? The name of God is the name above every other name.

The Desire to Keep Digging - This is Revive
August 27, 2023 01:36 - 1 hour - 64.4 MBLast year at Revive Church, we were given a command: do the hard things and be persistent. Dig trenches in the valleys and they will be filled with water. Now that 2023 is creeping closer to a close, it’s time, now more than ever, to be obedient and consistent. When it seems like there is no way, when it seems like the well has all but dried up, when it seems like there’s not an ounce more of strength you can give, God has grace for you! In this redux of the Keep Digging sermon series, Pasto...

We Surrender to the Stretch - This is Revive
August 13, 2023 22:31 - 1 hour - 55.3 MBWe all desire for God’s hand to be on our lives. We desire His blessing, His outpouring, and His abundance. But if God pours out what we’re not yet ready to receive, we’ll burst under the pressure! Here at Revive Church, we surrender to the stretch so that we can receive the MOST of what God has for us. In this message from Pastor Stephan, we are reminded that when God’s hand is on us, it’s not for the sake of a comforting massage that eases temporary pains, but it is an uncomfortable stretc...
Ownership Over Membership - This is Revive
August 06, 2023 22:46 - 45 minutes - 41.7 MBHere at Revive, we are owners, not members! That means we take ownership of the faith, the family, and the finances. When someone is a member, they consume for as long as they want and then leave. But when we become owners we invest in the future because we’ve got our hands in what comes next. In this message from Pastor Stephan Kilgore, we learn that in order to cultivate the church of 2030, we have to be bought in. When we become owners of our faith, our church family, and our finances, we...
We Smile, Laugh, and Choose Joy - This is Revive
July 30, 2023 01:12 - 56 minutes - 51.6 MBWhen the world seems bleak, circumstances seem insurmountable, and just believing harder doesn’t seem to cut it, there is a better way. Here at Revive Church, we laugh, smile, and choose joy! We know it’s not a chore to follow God because we get to enjoy serving God with the people we love. In this week’s sermon from Pastor Stephan, we are called back to joy and lightness of heart.

July 30, 2023 01:06 - 44 minutes - 41 MBAt Revive Church, we honor up, down, and all around! We honor God and others above ourselves.

July 09, 2023 19:52 - 1 hour - 56.1 MBHere at Revive Church, we LOVE the local church! We believe that the local church is the hope of the world, and we know that’s not an exclusive vision.

In today’s message from This is Revive, Pastor Stephan teaches the eminent power of the local church and shares Revive’s heart of excitement...
We Love to be Irrationally Generous - This is Revive
July 02, 2023 19:19 - 41 minutes - 37.9 MBGod has an excellent way of designing cycles. You may have learned about the water cycle and life cycles in grade school, but beyond the physical cycles of God’s creation, the Bible also speaks on spiritual cycles. One of the most vital spiritual cycles in our daily lives is the cycle of generosity. This week, Paul Rice teaches the importance of fostering and continuing the cycle of generosity with those around us. God loves us so much that He allows His blessings to be moved through our han...
It’s Not Always Either/Or - This is Revive
June 26, 2023 07:45 - 55 minutes - 50.6 MBWe serve a God of absolutes; there’s righteousness and unrighteousness, light and darkness, freedom and bondage. But over time, human hands tend to muddy the message and create unnecessary arguments. At Revive Church, we believe it’s not either/or, it’s both! We serve a God of grace AND truth, spirit AND systems, tradition AND transformation. In this message from This is Revive, Pastor Stephan Kilgore urges us to separate ourselves from a method-mentality and shift to a mission-mentality. It...

Why Does Revive Exist? - This is Revive
June 05, 2023 00:57 - 54 minutes - 49.9 MBRevive Church exists to introduce real people to the real Jesus! We are all about bringing the fullness of Christ into the fullness of peoples’ “normal”.

The Pop and Crackle of the Holy Spirit - Baptized by Fire
May 22, 2023 01:03 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MBWhen strong and mature followers of Christ speak about their walk with Jesus, the common thread between their experiences is their intimacy with Christ. We can’t work our way into relationship and we can strive our way into success, but we must learn to identify how God speaks in order to operate how He desires us to. In this sermon from the Baptized by Fire series, Pastor Stephan teaches us to develop intimacy with the Holy Spirit so that we can be led by His voice more clearly. Be Blessed!
Cloud by Day. Fire by Night. - Baptized by Fire
May 16, 2023 00:37 - 37 minutes - 34.2 MBOur God is not simply a God of deliverance.

In this message from Pastor Stephan, we learn about the working of the Holy Spirit within us so that we may live free from sin — fully convinced that we are righteous and victorious in Christ! Be Blessed!
Your Personal Death Sentence - Baptized by Fire
May 08, 2023 00:14 - 42 minutes - 38.5 MBWe live in a sinful world. We are born into sin, and the bible says that punishment for sin is death. The devil tried to hand us a death sentence, but Jesus took it upon Himself so that we could find new life. When we die to ourselves, we live in Christ. In this first message from our brand new learning series, Pastor Stephan teaches of the two baptisms offered to us. When we are baptized, or immersed, in the fires of Hell, we suffer eternal death. But when we take on the baptism of water, w...
It’s Not Too Late For A Miracle - It’s Not Too Late
May 01, 2023 16:16 - 58 minutes - 53.7 MBWhen we say it’s too late, God says it’s in His timing. When we fear the worst, God says to trust in Him. What we call dead, God calls sleeping.

It’s Not Too Late to Break the Curse - It’s Not Too Late
April 24, 2023 21:04 - 42 minutes - 39.3 MBSometimes, life can seem like it’s dragging its feet. Days seem a little longer, our efforts seem a little weaker, success seems a little more far off, and nothing we do seems to turn out right. The first instinct is to assume it’s just a bad day, but have you ever considered that you might be living under a unseen curse? Although it may seem scary, all things fall under the authority of Christ Jesus. Our only job is to ask Him for freedom. Today, Pastor Stephan teaches that God gives us a c...
It’s Not Too Late to Pray - It’s Not Too Late
April 17, 2023 21:16 - 37 minutes - 34.5 MBPrayer isn’t just something we do, it’s a life we live. As followers of the most-high God, it’s astounding how often we see prayer as the last resort.

No matter how deep and dark our moment of trial seems, we can rest assured that it’s not too late to pray. In this sermon from Pastor Stephan Kilgore, we learn how to build a lifestyle of prayer so that we can have a more intimate and ...

In today’s message from Pastor Stephan Kilgore, we’re called to not only be consumers in the kingdom, but producers for the kingdom! When we are moved by God, our mindsets shift from how do we get fed, to how do we get everyone we know intimate...
All My Friends Know I Love Like That - All My Friends
February 21, 2023 20:28 - 50 minutes - 46.2 MBThe book of Ephesians says we are to imitate God as well-beloved children. But imitating God can seem like a massive undertaking! So how do we do it? We turn to the one who first mirrored God, our Lord Jesus. In love and mercy, Jesus came so that we could walk His walk and talk His talk. In today’s message, Pastor Johnathon Peña illustrates how Jesus demonstrated love so that we could more accurately imitate Him, and bring real people to the real Jesus.
All My Friends Know I Follow Jesus - All My Friends
February 14, 2023 05:31 - 45 minutes - 42 MBWe know Jesus. We know our friends. But do our friends know that we know Jesus?

It’s Not What It looks Like - Keep Digging
February 06, 2023 15:28 - 38 minutes - 35.4 MBThroughout this learning series, we’ve learned how important it is to keep digging. When we are persistent in our obedience, God can work mightily in our lives. But once we receive the miracle where do we go from there? Are we finished in our walk with God because we got what we wanted? In the final sermon on Keep Digging, Pastor Stephan teaches us that the victory that we receive is simply a refilling for the battle that lies ahead. When it seems we are defeated, remember… it’s not what it ...
Grace to Keep Digging - Keep Digging
January 30, 2023 20:04 - 48 minutes - 44.4 MBWhen God says “no”, it can seem earth-shattering. How can a God that loves us have the audacity to not immediately answer our prayers?! But luckily, we can praise our living God that the brief periods of suffering we endure are ultimately for our strength! We are being built up as mighty warriors, and we can endure – as long as we ask for God’s grace. In this week’s sermon from Pastor Stephan, we are built up in faith, knowing that we can boast in our insufficiencies and lean back on the gra...

The Respect of Righteousness - Keep Digging
January 17, 2023 19:07 - 50 minutes - 46.4 MBWhen we see others receive the blessings that we asked God for, it can be frustrating.

In this hope-giving sermon from Pastor Stephan, we’re shown that by the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus, we are freely justified; we are made righteous and whole.
The Blessing of Boring - Keep Digging
January 09, 2023 04:11 - 43 minutes - 39.9 MBWe know our God loves to move in signs and wonders, in miracles and in blessings, but could it be that God loves to move in the boring things? In this week’s sermon, Pastor Stephen teaches us that our resolutions aren’t end-goals, they’re game plans. And what seems like boring menial work, is likely the catalyst for God’s real move of power in our lives.
Intercession Over Information - Keep Digging
January 02, 2023 16:18 - 1 hour - 55.7 MBWe’re surrounded by constant bombardment of information, and it’s impossible to tell what is the absolute truth. Our culture’s morals and ideals can change entirely within a matter of days. So when we have pressing questions, we must turn to our God who is the way, the truth, and the life. In the first message of 2023, Pastor Stephan instructs us to turn to God with our questions rather than seeking sources that do no satisfy. In order to truly receive, we must first open our hearts and list...
The Gift That Was Rejected - Make This Christmas The Best Christmas
December 19, 2022 03:08 - 27 minutes - 25.6 MBJesus wasn’t always well-liked.
