Many churches across the United States are struggling. Communities that desperately need the hope that can only be found in the gospel need strong, vibrant churches that have embraced Christ’s plan for their ministry. As pastors and church leaders search for programs and best practices that can revive their churches, one of the most critical aspects of church revitalization is often overlooked—spiritual readiness. The goal of this 40-day, church wide devotional process is to point the hearts of church members to God with the belief that prideful self-effort and self-reliance are enemies of church revitalization. May you be blessed as you use this tool to humbly seek God’s will for your church and your life.
