AWAKE: A CALL TO A RENEWED LIFE | A Six-Week Experience For Every Small Group and Church

Every pastor and staff member is always looking for a study that will help their church come alive and experience a renewed life. I believe we have the very thing.

Leading as President and General Editor

After I was elected President of the Southern Baptist Convention in June 2014, I sensed deeply from God that I needed to focus on the theme: Great Awakening: Clear Agreement, Visible Union, Extraordinary Prayer. 

As General Editor of the Bible Studies For Life curriculum series, I appealed to the leadership of LifeWay to offer a study that would undergird the theme for spiritual renewal. They immediately readjusted their plans and we created this six-week study for small groups.

It is called AWAKE: THE CALL TO A RENEWED LIFE. In this study, Christ-followers will be called to return to God, their first love, prayer, God’s Word, unity with other Christians, and the task of fulfilling the Great Commission personally and as a church. This is a call to experience revival and awakening personally and in our churches.

This six-week study can be done at any time, even though thousands of churches will experience it this summer. I do not want you to miss the opportunity. This study can occur during any part of your church year, and is for men, women, and students.

What These Six Weeks Will Look Like

Don’t sleep through your spiritual life. Wake up! Nothing refreshes like a good’s night’s sleep. And who doesn’t enjoy the occasional afternoon nap? But when we are spiritually asleep, it is dangerous. It’s time to wake up! It’s time for our churches to wake up! 

Since our greatest need is to experience spiritual renewal from God, this study will help anyone do just that. Please consider taking your people through this study. This is what they will experience each session:

Session 1: Return to God
 
Session 2: Return to Your First Love
 
Session 3: Return to Prayer
 
Session 4: Return to God’s Word
 
Session 5: Return to Unity
 
Session 6: Return to the Task

Encourage your staff team and leadership to go through this study this summer or as soon as possible.

Join Me in This Journey and Movement

When people have turned back to God throughout history, He has done extraordinary things and sparked great movements. Wouldn’t you like to see God do so again? Join me on the journey of asking God to bring about the next great movement of renewal and turning the nations back to Him.

As a pastor, you could even teach these topics as your people walk through this journey personally. It could be life-changing for many and influence churches dramatically.
