Sunday Morning 11:00 Revival with Seth Mena

This sermon explores the spiritual principle that genuine revival and God's blessing (symbolized as "rain") require sacrifice and worship at the altar. Drawing from Zechariah 14:17 and the natural water cycle, the preacher establishes that just as evaporation must occur before rain can fall, spiritual sacrifice must ascend to heaven before God's blessings descend. The message challenges believers to move beyond comfortable Christianity and embrace costly worship, daily consecration, and genuine repentance. Using historical examples like the Welsh Revival under Evan Roberts and biblical accounts of Elijah, Hannah, and Paul and Silas, the sermon demonstrates that every great outpouring of God's Spirit can be traced back to an altar of sacrifice. The preacher warns against spiritual entitlement, emphasizing that each generation must have its own first-generation experience with God rather than relying on the faith of previous generations. The core message is that drought—whether spiritual, emotional, or circumstantial—comes when sacrifice stops, and revival comes when believers return to genuine, costly worship and surrender.
