* You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2026Messages/26Mar22.pdf * In the conclusion of our study of the book of Hebrews, we saw the importance and call for the body of Christ to pray for one another. * As we enter our spring week of prayer and fasting, it is good to remind ourselves that we consider these weeks to be times when we are seeking true revival, or strengthening, in our individuals walks with God, and our collective service to Him. * The term "revival" refers to bringing something "back to life." There is the assumption that there was "life" previously. * Today, we will look at the importance of Contrition in your relation with God. Biblical Contrition is ... A humble and penitent attitude which comes as a result of being "broken" (pridefully) by your moral failure, or comprehension of your finiteness, in contrast to the holiness and eternality of God; knowing that He is your ultimate judge. * We will begin by reading five different Biblical illustrations: 2 Kings 22:8-20 (re: Josiah), Isaiah 6:1-8 (re: Isaiah), Daniel 9:1-19 (re: Daniel), and Luke 18:9-14 (re: the Tax Collector). Lord willing, we will then consider the consistent pattern that we see through these illustrations as we see them lived out in the life and prayer of David. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on March 22, 2026 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
