A message of hope, inspiration and challenge.
America’s only hope for restoration is for men, women and children to turn their hearts toward God. This Sunday message is one that is good for every day of the week.

Can anything good come out of….Reno?
Well, it might surprise you to learn that in Nevada’s second sin city there’s news of a revival movement springing up. On a recent weekend an all-day conference brought together 400 leaders from the Reno area representing a diverse grouping of 60 churches and Christian organizations.
Those in attendance included black, white, Hispanic, evangelical, and charismatic followers of Christ. And rather than each subgroup keeping to themselves as one 
might expect, it was obvious during times of interaction, worship, and prayer that unity and genuine love among all was the rule of the day. In a city much better known for divorce, gambling, and vice than selflessness and Christian discipleship, it compels one to ask how such an event could take place in Reno. Who laid the foundation for this amazing event? Upon closer scrutiny, one discovers the answer to be the same as for most other situations where God is at work. Good things happen when Christians hear the voice of God and courageously step out of their comfort zones to move when He calls them to move. It all started with a gathering of believers to pray. The Acts 4 group meets monthly in various churches and has four goals for their prayers: 1. Unity of believers in the valley 2. Love for one another to grow 3. The displacing of the powers of darkness (this begins with repentance, both individually and for the region) 4. Revival to come to the local churches. With that kind of unity and that kind of prayer, can revival be far away? Even in Reno?

If you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, today would be a GREAT day to begin! It’s easy:
A. Admit you are a sinner.
B. Believe that Jesus died to purchase forgiveness for your sins.
C. Confess Jesus as your savior.
Now… you are saved. Your new life has BEGUN. Find a Bible believing, Gospel preaching church. Read your Bible and pray (talk to God). May God bless you as you trust and obey Him in everything you do!
