Why don't our churches today look like the church in the book of Acts? Could they? When God manifests his presence to a fellowship of believers in Christ, God's people experience revival. That's one way to define what revival is--when God comes to church. In Revival: When God Comes to Church, Pastor Steve Gaines analyzes how churches can look like the church of the first century. Infused with the Holy Spirit, they evangelized most of the civilized world within only three centuries. We don't need another program, personalities, or marketing; we need his presence. The Holy Spirit is our primary draw, and when he touches people, they're never the same.
