In John 11 Jesus is told that Lazarus is sick. He said the sickness will not end in death (v 4) and then John says that Jesus loves Mary, Martha and Lazarus. Love is at the heart of a revival; a moving of God's Spirit. But will this love encounter just be a "moment" like a vacation, and then back to the real world or will it be a string of moments connected together by understanding and stewardship that turns into a movement. The movement is motivated by love and it's focus is intimacy. We are called to be with Jesus, where He is in intimacy.

Focusing some key aspects of the 1906 Azusa Revival and the story of Jesus and Lazarus in John 11, Pastor Lance talks about an unique opportunity for Gateway. In doing so, we recognize that the path from where we are to where God wants us to be requires maturity and understanding that "revival" is at the heart of a loving God.
