{"product_id":"refresh-bible-study-book","title":"Refresh - Bible Study Book","description":"Refresh Bible Study Book includes a small-group experience for nine sessions as well as eight weeks of short daily individual study.\nChurches across America must awaken to the realization that they need a fresh touch from God. The principles presented in this study will help your church focus on the essential elements of revival: desperation, surrender, and persistence.\nDesperation:\nBrokenness is not something we sign up for, but it is a necessity if we are going to be useful. When we are weak, He is strong. In the darkest hour, He shines the brightest. The power of desperation is something the world cannot comprehend. In this place where strength is lauded, we see that broken people have unexpected power with God. The blessings of the broken and surrendered are immeasurable.\nSurrender:\nRevival is key to our survival. Our churches do not need a tune-up of old programs or a facelift; we need an overhaul. We don’t need help; we need deliverance. God is looking for a remnant, for kindling wood to start the fires of revival. And it all begins with surrender. We must surrender ourselves to God in total abandonment. There is power in surrender.\nPersistence:\nWhen we work, we work. But when we pray, God works. When we pray, we partner with God. God is not interested in our innovative methods. God is moved by the prayers of simple saints who learn in the quiet place to lay hold of the throne of grace. Prayer is not incidental to the work of God; it is the work!\nSession 1: The Way Up Is Down\nSession 2: Admitting Our Desperate Need for God\nSession 3: When You Are Up Against the Impossible\nSession 4: What Time Is It?\nSession 5: It’s Later Than You Think\nSession 6: What Keeps Us from Having Revival?\nSession 7: The Prophetic and Profitable Work of Prayer\nSession 8: Breakthroughs Are Possible\nSession 9: Closing group time\nFeatures: Biblically rooted and gospel-centered content\n9-session workbook with group and personal component\nBrief daily homework\nA leader guide in the back of the book to help facilitate this experience in a group setting\nBenefits:\nDiscover what’s hindering revival in your church\nInspire your group or your entire church to seek God with renewed zeal\nLearn what you should start doing (and stop doing) to lead your church to revival\nAuthor:\nMichael Catt has been the senior pastor of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia, since 1989.
