Message: Returning, and Rebuilding, and Revival (I)

Speaker:   Brother Hung-Chieh Yu

Scriptures: II Ch 36:15~21; Ezra 1:1~5; Je 3:12, 14, 22; Ps 126:1~4

 

I.             The Necessary Returning - recognize the pitiful state of the        captured old creation, that is
               1. Taken away from God's love and blessings
               2. Taken away from men's dignity and worth
               3. Taken away from God's holy purpose of creation
 
II.    The Call for Returning - the cutting in of God's grace, 
               "Return, O children of apostasy"
               1. God will forgive our iniquities (Je 3:12)
               2. God will accept us in His deepest love (Je 3:14)
               3. God will heal all our apostasies (Je 3:22)
 
III. Examples of Returning - the return of a prodigal son and   God's people
               1. Personal returning and corporate returning
               2. Relationship recovered and testimony restored
               3. Begins with a reminding of love and begins with an urging of mission
               4. The difficulty of will applied and the challenge of paying prize
               5. Accomplished by the father's acceptance and finished at the completion of mission
 
IV. The Testimony of a Corporate Returning, and Rebuilding,                and Revival - the history of Israel's returning from Captivity 
(please pre-read II Ki 24,25; II Ch 36; Ezra and Nehemiah)
