REVIVE CHRISTIAN CHURCH

THE BOOK OF JAMES // PART 3

COUNT IT ALL JOY, MY BROTHERS, WHEN YOU MEET TRIALS OF VARIOUS KINDS—JAMES 1:2. True faith produces fruit. A faith without action and without life change is ultimately a dead faith. The book of James speaks to the realities of a living faith in Jesus—the kind of roll-up-your-sleeves and get-your-hands-dirty discipleship that is borne out of an authentic relationship with the risen Lord. James writes to believers who know suffering, who've faced trials, and who ultimately desire a deep relationship with God. Come along as we unpack the dense truth contained in the book of James. Over the course of 12 weeks, we will work through James verse-by-verse, challenging followers of Christ to move beyond a private, intellectual knowledge of God and His Word, to a vibrant faith that impacts every square inch of life.

REVIVE ONLINE

Given the situation around the global spread of the COVID-19 virus, our leadership team at Revive Christian Church has decided that we are moving our gatherings online, and will not gather at High Prairie Arts & Science Complex in Bismarck for the foreseeable future. This is not a decision we have made out of fear, but faith. While COVID-19 is impacting our cities, nation and our world in a very significant way, we are confident God is still in control. There has never been a moment our God was not loving, and to this day He has a purpose and a plan for our lives and this world. We’re excited to continue to gather with all of you. While we won’t be gathering together physically, we believe this has the potential to be a life-changing Sunday as we all join together online as the Church. Join us from your house this Sunday at 10a.

COVID-19 UPDATE

Dear Revive Family and Friends, What unique days we’re living in. It’s hard to believe that we have already been away from physically gathering together for seven Sundays. We are looking forward to coming back together . . . a little bit at a time. In partnership with Bismarck Parks & Recreation District and our facility partners at the High Prairie Arts & Science Complex, we have determined to open our doors beginning Sunday, May 17th, for two services. We will be gathering at 9:00a + 10:30a. We will also continue offering a livestream during our 10:30a gathering. We will be practicing social distancing the best we can. As you come through our doors, you can expect to be greeted with a smile. Our Front Porch Team can hardly wait to see you! Not all seating will be available, but of course families will be able to sit together. We will have directions for you concerning our communion and giving moments, as nothing will be passed or available to be freely taken from at this time. We will also just simply be hosting corporate worship gatherings at this time. There will be no Revive Kids activities, and beverages + breakfast treats will not be available. Prayerfully, we will begin reinstating our regular ministry activities and fellowship opportunities in the near future. A word of caution: Please stay home if you are not feeling well. And if you feel it is in your / your family’s best interest to continue worshipping with us from home, that is okay too. We want to encourage everyone to extend plenty of grace to all around during this turbulent time. We should always show grace to one another, but especially now as we continue navigating through this pandemic together. The Hebrew author said it best: “…let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near” (Hebrews 10:24-25). Our mission at Revive Christian Church is to move people closer to the heart of God. We can see this come to fruition through our Front Porch People opening the doors and welcoming others in to experience Jesus, that they may grow in their relationship with Him, and ultimately be inspired and excited to carry His name out to the world. We believe that by offering two gatherings and our livestream, we will continue moving towards our goal of uniting people in worship, prayer and justice for spiritual awakening in this generation. We want to use part of Paul’s prayer to the saints in Philippi to encourage the saints at Revive and we look forward to seeing you very soon: “I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:3-6). ––The Revive Christian Church Team
