Five Stones podcast focuses on encouraging words and thoughts to improve your day, conquer your giants and build your faith from the word of God wrapped up in a 5-7 minute message. David chose five smooth stones (I Samuel 17.40) and God hath chosen five things (I Corinthians 1.26-29). In both cases it is for the glory of God and God alone.
Beloved, the word revival stems for the word ‘revive’, which only occurs in the Bible 8 times. One of those places is Psalm 85:6 “Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?” A revival occurs wen something which was once alive, is brought back to life… There has many revivals throughout our great land and even in our specific locale… The Lord did this before and I am convinced He will do so again… We, his people, must be willing to see a revival again.. to seek His face, his will, His way through His word so glory God may pour throughout our valley once more… so those who were once on fire for Christ, would set ablaze again the Holy Spirit in their life… so those who know not Jesus, will come to saving knowledge of the grace of God!
'... People abandoned theatres, taverns and Music Halls in order to be a part of the revivalist congregations. ... The call for temperance and social purity would see great momentum, but in the manner of simple social reform, but rather through the coveted testimonies of the newly saved. Social and religious life of the Cynon Valley and elsewhere, was altogether lifted onto a higher plane.’
In the early months of 1859 Saron Chapel would see fifty new souls saved and become members of the church each month for four consecutive months. The huge increase in Saron’s membership first presented few problems as this chapel had been enlarged in 1856 to provide seating capacity for a little over 900, making it the largest chapel ever built in the Cynon Valley. Revival meetings lasted anything up to five hours each, without a break… with the pews filled to the brim…
Oh that we would see that again…

He Died for ALL
II Corinthians 5:14-17 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
Just imagine with me today… a innocent man, one Who had done no wrong, had no evil thoughts, no deceit ever present… but pure, honest… perfect… (I realise among humans this is an impossibility)… but there was One, Who took the form of a man… Who was perfect in every way, Who He Himself knew not sin and yet looked upon a civilisation past, present and future full of sin and in the midst of despair, and willing stood in their place they my live…

The Gift of Grace Received By Faith
“Believe”, which is defined as to accept that something is true, especially without proof.
No one should ever allow their own opinions, positions, preferences and for that matter agendas to override the authority of Holy Scripture…
*John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Grace - the unmerited favour with God…
Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Romans 4:4, 16 “Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.” ... 16 “Therefore it is] of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,”
Grace is not a mandate… Grace is just there… it is held within the gift of God found solely through faith: Ephesians 2:8-10 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”
