God and mankind are fully reconciled in Jesus Christ by not having their trespasses imputed to them. The completed work of Jesus on the cross offers to everyone who will believe in Him forgiveness and righteousness. This finished work releases to every believer the blessing of Abraham whom God called a friend. The gospel gets better still.
Elder Thomas reflects on a long-standing church-building assignment, now nearing completion, and wonders whether it marks the end of the task or the beginning of a deeper, ongoing purpose connected to revival. Drawing parallels with the rebuilding of Jerusalem under Zerubbabel, Nehemiah, and Ezra, he emphasizes God’s priority of worship, the completion of the “walls,” and the need for revival and the establishment of God’s kingdom among His people.
He defines revival as the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit in renewing believers: Marked by repentance, renewed hunger for God, reordered priorities, and a deeper devotion rather than in condemnation. Personal testimonies, historical revivals, and recent experiences at the church-building assignment site itself are shared as encouragement that God is faithful and at work preparing His people for the next season. The message concludes with a prayer call for personal and corporate revival—Not only for others, but asking God to revive each believer so all may rejoice in Him and participate actively in His Kingdom-purposes
