When Revival Comes: 7 Lessons For The Future

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 4, 2025 82:07


This past Sunday, I had the privilege and responsibility of preaching at Cross Church Springdale and Pinnacle Hills, two of our three current campuses in Northwest Arkansas. In 2026, we will open our fourth campus in Farmington, Arkansas, near Fayetteville. On Sunday, July 13, I will be preaching at our Cross Church Fayetteville Campus. Some of you may not know this, but I pastored Cross Church for almost thirty-three years, until God called me to Nashville in mid-2019. After spending three years in Nashville serving and providing leadership for the Southern Baptist Convention, we returned to Northwest Arkansas and based ourselves here to continue doing ministry until the Lord directs our next step in a new way. Whatever God does with us, we give him praise and glory. Preaching this past Sunday at Cross Church Springdale and Pinnacle Hills Campuses, I was reminded of the mighty work God has been doing and continues to do among and through the Cross Church people. What a church! Yesterday, we witnessed people coming to Jesus Christ, including some adults. I had the privilege after the services, while greeting people as they left, to lead a 30-year-old man to Jesus Christ. He had never been in a church before. He came seeking, and I could tell he was searching. Within minutes, he was giving his life to Jesus Christ. He was so ready to meet Christ, and God entered his life. With people all around, God accomplished a major work in this man's life. Jeana and I remained in that area of our incredible campus until 1:05 PM, about fifty minutes after the final worship service ended. We met and greeted many people, which is what we love to do because God consistently opens doors for ministry and sometimes for evangelism, which we experienced yesterday as well. Praise to God.

Welcome to our podcast today. I am Ronnie Floyd, your host and friend. Before I start this episode, let me introduce you to some important matters.  First, next Monday is Memorial Day. Thank you to all families throughout generations who have lost family members in the line of battle, protecting our freedom in America. Thank God for each one of them. Next week, we will not release a podcast due to Memorial Day, a shorter work week, and many of you will be formally beginning your summer. However, I will be back with you, releasing our next podcast on Wednesday, June 4. Don't miss it!  Second, pray for me. I will be preaching four Sundays in June. On June 1, I will preach at Cross Church Springdale and Pinnacle Hills. On June 8, Jeana and I will be in Dallas, Texas, attending the Southern Baptist Convention. On June 15, I will preach at Fellowship Church in Greenwood, Missouri, which is located in the greater Kansas City region.

Then, on June 29-30, I will preach for Pastor Alan Arthur, the pastor of First Baptist Church in San Saba, Texas. He has asked me to speak several times, leading his church in a Prayer Conference. I am so grateful for these opportunities, so please pray for me. Now let's get started with the podcast for this week. Let's go! 

5 Practical Things To Do When You Are Feeling Down

I am very excited about my subject this week: 5 PRACTICAL THINGS TO D0 WHEN YOU ARE FEELING DOWN. When we become disappointed about something, or we become discouraged in life, what should we do? On last week's podcast I talked about WHEN DISCOURAGEMENT COMES. In it, I wanted to focus on the subject of discouragement, so really did not talk about some practical things to do to overcome it. When you are feeling down, what should you do?

WHEN DISCOURAGEMENT COMES

Play Episode Listen Later May 7, 2025 19:29


Whatever your level of success, you will still face discouragement. You may be worth millions or billions, or living one pay period at a time. You can have homes worldwide or live in a modest apartment or house. You can have an impressive financial portfolio or be deep into debt. You can have the title in your job you have always wanted and operate at the top of your game, or you may be working your way to the top, which now seems like a hopeless journey. My point today: Every person, including you and me, will face discouragement in their life.  The issue is not if it will come, but when it comes. This is why I am addressing this real-life problem: WHEN DISCOURAGEMENT COMES. 

The Trap of Self-Deception

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 30, 2025 29:11


One of the most dangerous traps in life is self-deception. We are in trouble when we think more highly of ourselves than we should. We can see in someone else's life when they are deceiving themselves. However, we do not see this in our own lives because we are blind and unaware of the genuine reality about ourselves. It is time to stop lying to ourselves. Yes, unquestionably, one of the most dangerous traps in life is self-deception.  Stay tuned and inform others now. I am about to share with you in my 50th episode of this podcast about THE TRAP OF SELF-DECEPTION. Please do not miss it.

One of the best things you can do for your life and leadership today is listen to or watch this podcast. If you do not or choose to ignore it due to its content, you will be making a huge mistake. Understanding this episode today will lead you to have a very healthy understanding of our times, and also help you flourish personally, as well lead you to lead yourself, your family, your business, your church, or your organization in a much more productive way now and the future. So stay tuned, buckle up, and get ready…this is Ronnie Floyd, and welcome to the 48th episode of our podcast.In just a moment, I will discuss a subject I have never addressed and share some information with you that you may not have heard or read about before. I promise you that today's podcast will be one of the most helpful podcasts I have done with you. Just a quick note from our past week: Jeana and I spent three days in Orlando, Florida, for an annual conference we attend called The Mega-Metro Conference for Pastors and Wives. I have now participated in this conference for thirty-seven consecutive years. We prioritize it because God always blesses and encourages us when we gather for this event. We provided leadership for this conference in three different years during my Cross Church tenure. We are thankful to Pastor Chris Bell and his wife, Nan, who served this year by leading and designing the program for these various gatherings at the conference. Pastor Chris Bell is the Lead Pastor of the multi-campus 3 CIRCLE CHURCH based in Fairhope, Alabama. Now, let's get right into my podcast for this week. While conversations about the various generations occur daily, they are usually about the younger generations, such as Generation Alpha, Born 2013-2025; Generation Z, Born 1997-2012; and, of course, the Millenials, born 1981-1996. While we must always be aware and committed to the next generations, we can never forget the others. For example, where would we be today without Generation X, Born 1965-1980 and now in their forties to late fifties? Then, we have the Baby Boomers Generation, Born 1946-1964, now in their sixties to eighties. Furthermore, what about the Silent Generation, Born in 1928-1945, now in their eighties and nineties? Finally, we cannot forget The Centenarians, people born in 1925 or earlier, and some 100,000+ of these people live in the United States.

SPEAK ONLY THE TRUTH

All people and most especially those who are entrusted with leadership responsibilities, need to SPEAK ONLY THE TRUTH.    Furthermore, all leaders make decisions based upon the information shared to them by others about the people and situations they lead and called upon to address. Listen friends: SPEAKING THE TRUTH ALWAYS MATTERS.  Less than one year ago, BroadStreet Publishers released my 365-Day Devotional, Day by Day and Night by Night. Each day's devotional, which can be read in the morning and evening, or all at one time in about 3 to 5 minutes daily. Each devotion is only an approximate 260 words per page. If you do not have a copy of this, I want to urge you to go on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, or Christian Books, and order it today. Why is this so?  Because what I am about to share with you today is based upon what God says in the Bible, but was mentioned briefly through one of the devotions from this book, Day by Day and Night by Night. Quite honestly and I say this humbly to you, what I am about to share with you may be one of the most important things you have ever been told about your own life and the lives of those who are closest to you in your family, organization, team, corporation, or ministry.  The Call in Exodus 20:16 is to SPEAK ONLY THE TRUTH. Do you realize how important and significant this is for your life and your entire organization, business, church, team, or whatever your vocation may be? SPEAKING ONLY THE TRUTH is one of the most important core convictions you should desire and quite honestly, demand from yourself and others surrounding you in your life.

Reflecting on the last few days, I've felt God's goodness in our lives. Especially when things felt uncertain and lacked the usual rhythm and structure, His presence has been a comforting influence.  I want you to know that GOD IS GOOD TO YOU. CONSIDER THESE WORDS:“Good and upright is the Lord.” Psalm 25:8“The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.” Nahum 1:7“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23:6WHAT DO WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY GOD IS GOOD?

RELATIONSHIPS MATTER

Relationships matter! With them, your influence is enlarged; without them, your influence is limited. If you are going to influence people, you must have a relationship with them. Titles and positions mean little in today's world of leadership. Relationships matter.  In today's tribal-minded culture, which emphasizes associating only with people like you, diverse friendships can be misunderstood and even dangerous.  This Woke mindset and ideology is anti-biblical and anti-Christ. This is 180 degrees opposite of Scripture and the life and leadership of Jesus. Listen carefully and never forget this: If you are going to influence people, you must have a relationship with them.
