August 30, 2020

March 19, 2020

Some thoughts about the Coronavirus situation. This is a little longer than our usual updates but hopefully you find it helpful. I want us to look at what I think are the three main areas of focus at this time. Firstly, the onset of panic that...

March 17, 2020

“In this world you will have trouble.” These were words which Jesus spoke and, at first glance, not the most encouraging. Probably the biggest question that most people have with regard to God is why does he allow suffering? Why is there war, pain, loss,...

March 2, 2020

We’ve recently finished a teaching series at Revival Church entitled, ‘Jesus is Lord – So What?’ looking at what it means to make Jesus No.1 in our lives. Much is rightly made of Jesus being our Saviour – receiving the fullness of his life –...

What foundations are our lives built upon? In September we’re beginning a new teaching series at Revival Church aimed at strengthening our foundations as Christians. This will involve equipping us with some tools to help mine even deeper riches from the Bible and to strengthen...

The subject of influence is something that we have been unpacking recently at Revival Church.  Each one of us will make a difference to this world by the lives that we live.  We will influence those we do life with and the environments in which...

Imagine this. A potter creates the most beautiful vase. It is one of countless masterpieces that are the fruit of his care and craftsmanship. Yet this vase develops a flaw which causes it to crack and deform. Having poured himself into forming this beautiful vase...

A few weeks ago we launched a new teaching series looking at four foundational aspects of Revival Church Billericay. These are: Encounter. Nurture. Training. Influence. Although the acronym they form isn’t particularly catchy, ENTI is a great reminder of the purpose of the church. Encounter...

Last Sunday our message at Revival Church was about praying for our nation in the light of Brexit. The question raised was what do we know about the EU and how aware were we of the Christian story of this nation? You’ll have to listen...

March 11, 2019

It’s no secret that we are a church which aligns itself with Israel. But this begs the question as to why. It’s a fact, reflected in Israel’s history, that this nation has made many bad decisions along with its many good ones. No different from...

February 8, 2019

The beginning of 2019 has certainly been eventful in the political life of this nation. There have been twists and turns that have left the commentators perplexed let alone the rest of us. There have been unprecedented events in Westminster that have surprised even the...

December 11, 2018

At Revival Church we’ve just finished a teaching series looking at biblical models of church leadership. A word that often sits alongside leadership is authority. And this doesn’t always conjure up particularly positive thoughts because of those who have abused their authority. When we experience...

October 22, 2018

What do you think of when I say the word ‘church’? The immediate thought of many people is that of a building with a steeple. One of the purposes of these spires was to direct people’s attention upward to heaven. As worthy as that aim...

We had a fantastic Church Day Out at Pilgrims Hall in Brentwood on 23rd June. Here’s a flavour of the fun we had. With thank to Yvonne Dzhantov for producing the film.

Easter carries with it a sense of hope and optimism; because of what it means to those of us who are Christians and because of the new life springing up in our gardens. As a church we’ve experienced a time of great sadness and loss...

March 29, 2018

It’s personal bugbear time.  I’m not a big fan of the line ‘people of faith and people of none’. The reason is quite simple. Everyone believes in or puts their trust in something, be it; human reason, science, people, philosophies, tarot cards, a transcendent God...

January 29, 2018

As the countdown to Christmas begins and we prepare for the season’s festivities I’ve been really struck by the contrasts of this time of year.  Some people love it while others find it incredibly difficult. Jesus’ birth was marked by contrasts. He was the Son Of...

December 14, 2017

One thing we’re really focussed on at Revival Church is creating a family of believers who do life together; a community of people who love God, love each other and as a result have a revolutionary impact on the world around them. Did you know...

I don’t know if you’re an avid reader but for me, taking a summer holiday is the perfect excuse to plough through as many novels as possible. Whether you’re a reader or prefer online or audio, for those of us who are Christians, having an...

July 24, 2017

It’s often said that one of the hardest questions to answer is as to why there is so much evil in the world. But when we use the Bible as our reference point it’s not so very complex at all. When God originally created the world...

June 5, 2017

A phrase we sometimes use at Revival Church is ‘pressing in to God’. I guess it could sound like just another piece of Christian jargon, of which there is plenty. But what we mean by this expression is that we aren’t content to plateau on...

April 24, 2017

On Sunday I was speaking to the church on the subject of Risk and Faith. Faith is something Christians are very familiar with, but risk? I explained that when we know God and we know the Bible, our faith has firm foundations, so it’s really...

February 27, 2017

I always find that the dawning of a new year is a good time to reflect on God’s goodness in the year that has just past and to take time to hear God’s heart for us for the coming year. For every one of us...

November has turned out to be the month in which we focus on two of our partner organisations, Christian Concern and Maoz Israel. We’ve already had a visit from Ade Omooba, co-founder of Christian Concern – you can listen to his powerful and timely message...

November 16, 2016

Whether someone believes in God or simply believes in the notion of God, it is not uncommon for many to rule out ever hearing from him personally. Their thinking is that if there is a God, he is perceived as being distant and unconcerned with...

October 17, 2016

Since the beginning of September, we have started to explore what a revival culture looks like and how we facilitate bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to earth? One of the keys to this is realising that the culture of Heaven is centred around relationship.  Jesus...

October 5, 2016

This autumn we’re beginning a new teaching series which will look at how we live a life of revival; individually and as a church. Much is spoken of transforming our culture but we need to be clear what we are transforming it into. This is...

August 30, 2016

As the holiday season fast approaches I thought it would be good to tell you about our summer teaching series. We’ve entitled it ‘Be Refreshed!’ and each Sunday a different speaker will be unpacking a Psalm of their choice. The Psalms speak into just about...

July 11, 2016

In this book, the author Julian C Adams inspires us to develop a deeper, personal relationship with the Holy Spirit. He puts forward the view that in some denominations, Christians are confused about the role of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Like Julian, I...

June 10, 2016

It’s been a significant journey for us as a church over the last seven weeks as we have unpacked the new Revival Church Billericay Core Values.  I have found it incredibly challenging as the Holy Spirit has shown me areas in my own life where realignment...

May 23, 2016

If you’ve been at Revival Church Billericay recently you’ll be aware that we’re presently doing a teaching series looking at our Core Values. In essence our values are what creates the culture of the church. As we determine what is important to us – what...

April 25, 2016

At our Easter Sunday meeting we revisited the account of Jesus’ resurrection and focussed on some powerful words that often get overlooked. Without Jesus’ cry of “It is finished!” and the angel’s words, “He is not here, for he has risen” there would be no...

It’s just under two weeks until our next Encounter God event with Rebecca King of SOAR International Prophetic Resource Group and we’re really excited about all that we believe God has purposed for us as a church and for Christians in the region. Since our recent renaming...

March 1, 2016

Well, the day has finally arrived and we are officially now called Revival Church Billericay! It’s almost four years since we started building team every Sunday night in our local Costa and what an amazing adventure it’s been so far. As we’ve journeyed from meeting...

January 11, 2016

As we start 2016 it’s a great opportunity to reflect on the year that has passed and to ask God to envision us for the year to come. For each of us 2015 will have been a mixture of highs and lows; a mixture of...
