What is Your Role in Revival?

Next Sunday, Tharptown Baptist Church will hold a special “Day of Revival”. Dr. Ed Newton will be preaching in the morning and evening services. Bro. Ed is well known in the Shoals area for his ministry at “The Well”, a popular worship service for college students at Highland Baptist Church in Florence. He and his wife, Stephanie, have three children and reside in Lakeland, TN.



Shane Baker will be leading in praise and worship in both services. Shane leads worship at the early worship service each week at First Methodist Church in Sheffield and at Faith Church in Florence.

These men will do their part next week in bringing revival to Tharptown. They will preach and lead us in worship. But for God to send revival to Tharptown, we must do our part too. I believe this quote best describes the church member’s role in revival.

“Oh! men and brethren, what would this heart feel if I could but believe that there were some among you who would go home and pray for a revival…that God would appear among us and do wondrous things here, as in the times of former generations.” C. H. Spurgeon

Our role in revival is to make consistent and persistent intercession before God, the Great Revivalist. Let us all do our part this week to bring revival to Tharptown.
