Small Church Revival

What a weekend! God moved again tremendously for us at Progress Assembly of God in Buckatunna Mississippi! It never ceases to amaze me where God's people are hungry, He shows up!

I have not been able to blog much over the last month due to constantly being in areas with no internet connection. I hope that fast has past!

My friend Carl Thomas at Revival Blog asked me one time how I felt about preaching in so many small churches. I would like to preach in big churches, and God allows us to from time to time. But I believe small churches are just as significant in the eyes of God as the bigger churches are. The fallacy that big churches are meeting the needs of all their members is a fallacy…just like the thought that small churches are meeting all the needs in their communities…

The truth is we need BOTH large as well as small churches. And multitudes of people live outside major cities and CANNOT drive 50 miles or more to the nearest "happening church"…

And small churches need to have a move of God's Spirit like the mega churches do. But if no one is willing to go partner with them in a move of God….?

I believe God has a plan for big churches! But I also believe God has a plan and an outpouring of His Spirit for smaller churches who will continue to find their significance in what He has called then to do and be. Whatever and wherever that may be!
