June 22, 2025 | Ross Chandler In this powerful message, we're reminded of the transformative power of returning to God. The story of Israel in 1 Samuel 7 serves as a poignant illustration of spiritual renewal. We see four key elements of genuine revival: removing idols, coming together in unity, fasting and prayer, and confessing sins. This pattern isn't just ancient history - it's a blueprint for our own spiritual awakening. The Israelites' cry to God in their moment of vulnerability, and God's thunderous response, highlight the incredible power of sincere prayer. Like the Ebenezer stone Samuel raised, we're challenged to recognize and memorialize God's interventions in our lives. This message urges us to examine our hearts, identify our own 'Philistines,' and cry out to God, trusting in His desire and power to answer.
