Is America experiencing revival—and how can we recognize a genuine move of God? Jessi Green sits down with author and revivalist Larry Sparks to discuss what God is doing across the nation. Exploring the differences between renewal, revival, awakening, and reformation; why believers shouldn’t become “revival critics”; and how churches can faithfully pursue both the Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. Discussing the signs of a church in revival, the importance of prayer, revival in the marketplace, and why every believer was created for an adventure with God.

Waiting does not mean God has forgotten you. It may be the very place where He is forming your faith.In this message from Genesis 11–12, Pastor Parker Green follows Abraham from Haran—the “in-between” place—toward a promise he could not yet see. Abraham obeyed without having every detail, made serious mistakes along the journey, and still experienced the grace and faithfulness of God.This message is for anyone navigating transition, waiting for a promise, or wondering whether it is too late to obey God. The goal is not simply to arrive. It is to keep believing, remain focused, and faithfully lay a foundation for the generations coming behind you.If this message encourages you, share it with someone learning to trust God in the waiting.SCRIPTURES REFERENCEDGenesis 11:27–32 — Terah’s family settles in HaranGenesis 12:1–20 — God calls Abraham; Abraham travels to Canaan and EgyptGenesis 16 — Abraham, Sarah and HagarGenesis 17 — Abram and Sarai receive their covenant namesHebrews 11:6 — Without faith it is impossible to please GodHebrews 11:8–12 — Abraham obeys without knowing where he is goingLuke 1:26–38 — Mary receives the promiseLuke 24:13–35 — The road to Emmaus2 Corinthians 5:21 — The righteousness of God in ChristEphesians 3:20 — More than we can ask or imagineGalatians 5:22–23 — The fruit of the Holy SpiritPlan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry:https://www.saltchurches.com/givingSubscribe:  / saltchurches  Subscribe @saltchurchNC Connect with Parker + Jessi Green:Instagram Parker /   / parkerrichardgreen  Instagram Jessi /  / jessi.green  Websites https://www.saltchurches.com/https://www.jessi-green.com/https://www.saturateglobal.com/#prayer #bible #biblestudy #saltchurch #revival #parkergreen #jessigreen

Following Jesus was never meant to be a private, isolated faith.In this episode of the SALT Church Podcast, Angel Barrientos and Seth Prevatte unpack what biblical discipleship actually looks like, from unbroken fellowship and obedience to Jesus, to life in the local church, spiritual maturity, evangelism, correction, sacrifice, and making disciples who make disciples.They discuss why online teaching cannot replace embodied Christian community, how the Great Commission includes teaching people to obey Jesus, and why genuine discipleship should transform the way we love God, serve our families, and live every part of our lives.If this conversation encourages you, share it with someone who wants to grow deeper in their walk with Jesus.HIGHLIGHTS0:00 – Diet Coke and Introductions 0:53 – Why Discipleship Matters 1:29 – More Than 1,000 Salvations in Wilmington 2:05 – Ten People Meet Jesus at UNCW 3:48 – The Hunger of New Believers 6:04 – Recovering Your First Love 7:01 – What SALT Kinship Groups Are 8:23 – What Biblical Discipleship Means 10:34 – Believing in Jesus vs. Following Jesus 12:15 – The Danger of Lukewarm Christianity 14:33 – Can You Follow Jesus Alone? 17:19 – Evangelism and the Great Commission 19:31 – Becoming a Disciple-Maker 23:03 – Stages of Spiritual Maturity 26:27 – Discipling People to Look at Jesus 29:09 – Spiritual Infants, Children, and Parents 32:09 – Maturity Requires Sacrifice 33:23 – The Cost of Discipleship 36:01 – How to Find Someone to Disciple You 38:51 – What Should Your Spiritual Legacy Be? 42:31 – Closing and InvitationSCRIPTURES REFERENCEDMatthew 28:18–20 — Make disciples and teach them to obey Jesus John 14:15 — Love for Jesus produces obedience John 15 — Abiding in Jesus and bearing fruit 1 John 2:12–14 — Children, young people, and fathers in spiritual maturity Luke 14:25–33 — Counting the cost of discipleship Plan Your Visit to SALT Church: https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry: https://www.saltchurches.com/givingFollow SALT Church:   / saltchurches  Subscribe: @saltchurchNC#discipleship #followingJesus #Christiancommunity #evangelism #saltchurch #spiritualgrowth

A thousand tabs open in your mind. A heart trying to protect itself. A life that feels scattered. Where do you find a place to belong?Pastor Jessi Green teaches from Genesis 11 and Ephesians 1-2, connecting the Tower of Babel with our search for security, control, and a name for ourselves. Babel’s story becomes a mirror for the towers we build when fear shapes our plans. The good news is that Jesus has already made a way to the Father. Through His blood, those who were far off are brought near, made alive by grace, and united in Christ. Share this message with someone who feels scattered or needs encouragement to find their belonging and purpose in Jesus.SCRIPTURES REFERENCEDGenesis 11:1–9 - Babel, self-made security, and the scattering of the peopleGenesis 12:2 - God promises to make Abraham a blessingJohn 3:3–8 - Jesus teaches Nicodemus about being born againRomans 10:9–13 - Believing, confessing Jesus as Lord, and calling on HimRomans 6:3–4 - Baptism and walking in newness of lifeEphesians 1:7–10 - Redemption through Christ’s blood and unity in HimEphesians 2:4–10 - Made alive with Christ and saved by grace through faithEphesians 2:13 - Those who were far away are brought near by Christ’s bloodRomans 5:8 - Christ died for us while we were still sinnersMatthew 28:19–20 - The Great CommissionLuke 1:37 - Nothing is impossible with GodJohn 15:7 - Abiding in Jesus and prayer2 Corinthians 10:5 - Taking every thought captiveIsaiah 54:17 - No weapon formed against God’s people will prosperPlan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry:https://www.saltchurches.com/givingSubscribe and Stay Connected:YouTube: @saltchurchNCInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/saltchurches/Connect with Parker + Jessi Green:Parker: https://www.instagram.com/parkerrichardgreen/Jessi: https://www.instagram.com/jessi.green/Websites:https://www.saltchurches.com/https://www.jessi-green.com/https://www.saturateglobal.com/#TowerOfBabel #Genesis11 #JessiGreen #SALTChurch #Jesus #Gospel #BibleStudy

Would your life look different today if you were ready for Jesus to return?Pastor Parker Green walks through Genesis 6–9, following Noah from the call to build the ark through the flood, God’s covenant, and the brokenness that remains afterward. Noah’s story becomes a challenge to obey what God has already said, stay faithful when fruit takes time,and keep Jesus at the center.Drawing on Jesus’ words in Luke 17 and Matthew 24, Parker brings readiness into everyday life: share the gospel, love your neighbor, forgive, and care for the people around you. The service closes with Pastor Seth’s invitation to receive a new heart through Jesus and remember His sacrifice in communion.Share this message with someone who needs encouragement to stay faithful, keeploving, and refuse to quit.

Spiritual warfare is real, but many Christians either ignore it or give the enemy more authority than he has.In “How to Win Spiritual Warfare,” Pastor Parker Green teaches from Genesis 6 about the Nephilim, the unseen spiritual world, and the victory Jesus has already won. He then gives seven practical, biblical strategies for spiritual warfare: watch your agreements, obey God, guard your words, let God fight for you, stop nurturing destructive thoughts, pray specifically, recognize unhealthy patterns, laugh at the enemy, worship, and stand with other believers.The enemy may have power, but he does not have authority over someone who belongs to Jesus. You do not have to live intimidated, defeated, or controlled by every thought that enters your mind. Through Christ, you can stand firm, take ground, and live from His victory.If this message strengthens you, share it with someone who needs courage for the spiritual battle they are facing.HIGHLIGHTS0:00 — Stepping Out of the Wilderness 1:11 — The Word and the Spirit Belong Together 4:30 — Introduction to Spiritual Warfare 5:35 — Why Demons Are Terrified of Jesus 8:49 — Intrusive Thoughts and Temptation 9:35 — Prayer Reveals What You Truly Depend On 12:12 — The Spiritual World Rules Over the Physical 13:34 — Why Technology Cannot Heal a Broken Humanity 15:05 — Understanding the Spiritual World of Genesis 6 17:35 — The Sons of God and the Nephilim 19:05 — The Seed War Against the Messiah 21:58 — Jesus Has Already Won the Universe 23:27 — Is It a Demon or a Bad Decision? 24:49 — How the Enemy Plants Offense 27:35 — Strategy 1: Watch Your Agreements 28:57 — Shema: Hearing Means Obeying 29:49 — Strategy 2: Guard Your Words 32:24 — Strategy 3: Let God Fight for You 35:48 — Strategy 4: Stop Watering Bad Seeds 36:58 — Strategy 5: Pray Like You Are at War 39:16 — Strategy 6: Recognize Your Patterns 40:38 — Strategy 7: Laugh at the Enemy 43:15 — Worship Is a Weapon 43:35 — The Armor of God 44:30 — Stop Playing Defense 46:22 — Call Your Father 49:03 — Put On Christ Daily 51:04 — An Invitation to Follow Jesus SCRIPTURES REFERENCEDGenesis 3 — The serpent and the beginning of the seed war Genesis 6:1–4 — The sons of God and the Nephilim Exodus 7–12 — God confronts the gods of Egypt Exodus 14:13–14 — Stand firm and watch the Lord fight for you 2 Kings 6:15–17 — Chariots of fire surrounding Elisha Psalm 2:4 — God laughs at His enemies Psalm 37:12–13 — The Lord laughs at the schemes of the wicked Psalm 149:6 — Praise as a sword Proverbs 18:21 — Life and death are in the power of the tongue Isaiah 59:19 — The Lord raises a standard against the enemy Matthew 17:20 — Faith like a mustard seed Mark 11:12–25 — Faith, prayer, and forgiveness Luke 13:6–9 — The parable of the unfruitful fig tree John 4:24 — Worshiping God in spirit and truth John 10:10 — The thief destroys; Jesus gives abundant life Romans 8:31 — If God is for us, who can be against us? 1 Corinthians 2:8 — The rulers did not understand the crucifixion 1 Corinthians 6:3 — The saints will judge angels Colossians 1:15–20 — Jesus rules over every power and authority Ephesians 6:10–18 — The armor of God James 3:1–12 — The power of the tongue James 5:16 — Confession, healing, and effective prayer 2 Peter 2:4 — Angels kept for judgment Jude 6 — Angels who abandoned their proper dwelling Plan Your Visit to SALT Church: https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry: https://www.saltchurches.com/givingSubscribe:   / saltchurches   @saltchurchNCConnect with Parker + Jessi Green: Parker:   / parkerrichardgreen   Jessi:   / jessi.green  Websites: https://www.saltchurches.com/ https://www.jessi-green.com/ https://www.saturateglobal.com/#spiritualwarfare #genesis6 #nephilim #bible #biblestudy #jesus #saltchurch #parkergreen

Generational patterns can feel permanent but the blood of Jesus brings us into a new family line.Pastor Parker Green teaches from Genesis 5 and traces the family lines of Cain, Seth, Noah, Abraham, David, and Jesus. The genealogies of Scripture are more than lists of names: they reveal a faithful God working through imperfect people and generations to bring redemption through Jesus, the second Adam.You do not have to be controlled by the brokenness behind you. Through Jesus, you can receive a new inheritance, build new habits, and become the beginning of a different story for the generations after you.If this message encourages you, share it with someone who needs to know that their family history does not determine their future.HIGHLIGHTS0:00 — Prayer and Introduction 1:35 — Marriage, Covenant, and Generational Legacy 5:49 — Why Biblical Genealogies Matter 6:50 — The Power of Generational Influence 9:43 — The Truth About Generational Curses 11:20 — The Seed War Begins in Genesis 15:34 — The Family Line of Seth 18:18 — Why People Lived So Long in Genesis 20:06 — Enoch, Methuselah, and the Coming Flood 24:21 — Noah: Rest in a Time of Lamentation 25:51 — God Works Through Imperfect Families 28:16 — David’s Broken Family and God’s Covenant 31:05 — The Genealogy of Jesus 33:21 — Jesus, the Second Adam 35:53 — What It Means to Be Redeemed 36:35 — Born Again Into a New Family 37:47 — Faith and the Generations of Hebrews 11 42:25 — A Personal Story of Generational Faith 44:38 — Your Yes Can Change Generations 46:38 — An Invitation to Follow Jesus SCRIPTURES REFERENCEDGenesis 3:15 — The promised offspring who will crush the serpent Genesis 4:16–26 — The family lines of Cain and Seth Genesis 5 — The generations from Adam to Noah Genesis 15 — God’s covenant with Abraham Genesis 22:1–14 — Abraham, Isaac, and the provided sacrifice 2 Samuel 7:12–16 — God’s covenant with David Luke 3:23–38 — The genealogy of Jesus Matthew 23:8–10 — One Teacher and one Father Matthew 28:19 — Baptized into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit John 3:3 — Born again Romans 8:11 — The Spirit gives life to our mortal bodies 1 Corinthians 11:23–26 — The body and blood of Jesus Hebrews 11:1–7 — Faith from Abel to Noah Plan Your Visit to SALT Church: https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry: https://www.saltchurches.com/givingSubscribe:   / saltchurches   @saltchurchNCConnect with Parker + Jessi Green: Parker:   / parkerrichardgreen   Jessi:   / jessi.green  Websites: https://www.saltchurches.com/ https://www.jessi-green.com/ https://www.saturateglobal.com/#generationalcurses #genesis #bible #biblestudy #jesus #saltchurch #parkergreen

Self-denial can look holy while still keeping our attention fixed on ourselves.In this episode of the SALT Podcast, Pastor Jessi Green sits down with Sav and Selah to examine asceticism—the practice of denying physical desires in pursuit of spiritual growth. Together, they explore fasting, consecration, wealth, social media, personal conviction, and the subtle ways religious pride can disguise itself as radical devotion.Through Colossians 2 and 1 Timothy 4, they confront the difference between biblical discipline and self-made religion. Holiness is not something we manufacture by rejecting everything enjoyable. Christ is the One who makes us holy. From that foundation, fasting, generosity, sacrifice, and self-denial become responses of love and obedience—not attempts to earn closeness with God.If this conversation challenges or encourages you, share it with someone learning how to live both consecrated and fully alive.HIGHLIGHTS0:00 – Can You Be Consecrated and Fully Alive?4:16 – Awakening God-Given Desire5:46 – What Is Asceticism?8:54 – Colossians 2 and Self-Made Religion14:34 – How Do We Actually Become Holy?19:18 – Does Asceticism Belong in Christianity?24:06 – Should Christians Fast?32:06 – Monasticism and Spiritual Perfection40:26 – Why You Fast Matters41:00 – Radical Devotion or Comfortable Christianity?49:53 – The Warning in 1 Timothy 455:25 – What Makes Something Holy?56:57 – Receiving God’s Gifts With Thanksgiving1:01:34 – Judging Christians Who Enjoy Good Things1:04:20 – Self-Denial Can Still Be Self-Focused1:08:51 – Living as a Good Soldier of Christ1:11:55 – Deleting Social Media Doesn’t Change Your Heart1:13:55 – A Mission Trip or a Luxury Hotel?1:18:57 – Gluttony, Fasting, and the American Church1:21:49 – Christ Sets Us Apart1:24:17 – Healthy Self-Denial and Personal Conviction1:27:57 – When Social Media Abstinence Becomes Pride1:30:16 – “God Told Me To Watch TV”1:34:34 – The Myth of Secret Spiritual Practices1:36:27 – The Pharisees Were “Separated Ones”1:42:21 – Learning To Receive Extravagant Gifts1:47:18 – “Jesus Didn’t Make Me Poor”1:49:02 – What the Rich Young Ruler Reveals1:50:30 – Prayer and Closing SCRIPTURES REFERENCEDNumbers 6 — The Nazarite vowPsalm 119:9 — Remaining pure through obedience to God’s WordColossians 1:22–23 — Made holy and blameless through ChristColossians 2:1–5, 16–23 — Christ versus self-made religionMatthew 6:16–18 — Jesus’ teaching about fastingMatthew 16:24 — Deny yourself and follow JesusMatthew 19:16–22 — The rich young ruler1 Timothy 4:1–16 — Receiving God’s creation with thanksgivingJohn 15 — Abiding in Christ2 Timothy 2:1–12 — Training and endurance in ChristGalatians 5:16–24 — The Spirit, the flesh, and self-controlEcclesiastes 5:19 — Receiving and enjoying God’s giftsRomans 14 — Personal conviction without judging others Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry:https://www.saltchurches.com/givingConnect With SALT Church:  / saltchurches     / @saltchurchnc  Connect With Jessi Green:  / jessi.green  https://www.jessi-green.com/#asceticism #holiness #consecration #fasting #christianpodcast #biblestudy #saltchurch #jessigreen

You were never meant to follow Jesus anonymously.Peter Louis of Braveheart Ministries teaches from Ephesians 2 about what it truly means to be the Church. Scripture describes God's people as a bride, a body, a temple, a witness, and a family. These are more than poetic descriptions; they reveal how Christians are called to live with Jesus and with one another.Through the blood of Christ, we are not only saved from sin—we are brought near to the Father and placed in His household. Peter challenges believers to surrender control, receive the peace of Jesus, move beyond spiritual consumption, and become people who are willing to be known, chosen, corrected, and carried.If you have felt alone, anonymous, anxious, or disconnected from the Church, this message is an invitation to come out of hiding and experience the family Jesus purchased for you.Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Connect with Peter Louis and Braveheart Ministries:https://www.braveheart.run/

The fall of humanity was not the moment God lost control. It was the moment His plan of redemption began to unfold.Pastor Parker Green teaches from Genesis 3 and traces the story from Adam and Eve's rebellion to Jesus, the second Adam. What begins with shame, accusation, passivity, and exile becomes a revelation of a God who comes looking for His children, makes the first sacrifice, and ultimately gives Himself as the final sacrifice.Jesus entered a garden and chose the Father's will. He bore our shame on the cross, was pierced in His side, rose again in a garden, and restored the way to life. God does not merely want to be known as Creator; He wants you to know Him as Redeemer and Savior.Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/

The gospel is not merely good information—it is the power of God to save and set people free.At UNCW, Seth Prevatte teaches from Psalm 23 and John 10 about Jesus, the Good Shepherd, who comes after us before we understand our need. Through personal testimony and a clear invitation to surrender, Seth shares how Jesus frees us from sin, anxiety, depression, and the burden of trying to lead our own lives.The Father's desire is not for you to stand outside looking in. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, you are invited into His presence, His freedom, and His family.Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Learn more about Saturate Global:https://www.saturateglobal.com/

Sin does more than break a rule—it distorts what we believe, clouds our vision, damages our relationships, and draws us away from the presence of God.In “The Problem of Sin,” Pastor Jessi Green teaches from Genesis 4 about the way of Cain and the way of Christ. Through Cain and Abel's story, she explains why emotions can expose the false beliefs ruling us, why repentance must produce a change of direction, and how the blood of Jesus speaks a better word than accusation, shame, and condemnation.You do not have to remain trapped in the same cycle. Through confession, surrender, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the finished work of Jesus, you can walk in genuine freedom and restored fellowship with God.Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Connect with Jessi Green:https://www.jessi-green.com/

A life with Jesus was never meant to feel gray.Courtney Smallbone joins Pastor Jessi Green for a conversation about moving beyond religious performance and becoming fully alive in Christ. Courtney shares how a life-threatening illness awakened her to the reality of God, why comfort can quietly put Christians to sleep, and how women can reject fear, shame, control, and spiritual passivity.They also discuss motherhood, identity, unity in the Church, the danger of Christians attacking one another, and why surrender to Jesus is always meant to lead to resurrection life.If this conversation encourages you, share it with a woman who needs to remember that she was made to live fully alive.TECHNICOLOR WOMAN LIVEJoin Courtney Smallbone and Jessi Green for Technicolor Woman Live:October 15 — Dothan, AlabamaOctober 16 — Ringgold, GeorgiaOctober 17 — North Augusta, South Carolina Information and registration:https://technicolorwoman.com/pages/eventsHIGHLIGHTS0:00 — Meet Courtney Smallbone2:00 — How Courtney Met Luke6:17 — From Black-and-White Faith to Technicolor Life8:04 — Death to Self Is Supposed to Lead to Life11:16 — Growing Up Christian Without Knowing the Real Thing15:54 — The Illness That Changed Courtney’s Faith19:27 — Jesus Paid for More Than Forgiveness24:58 — Is God Really That Good?26:52 — An Alarm for the American Church29:05 — When Christianity Costs You Nothing30:15 — The Danger of Spiritual Passivity31:22 — Is the Church Attacking Itself?38:59 — The Fruit That Actually Matters43:27 — Jesus Is a Person to Know, Not an Idea45:02 — The Kingdom of God Is a Celebration52:23 — Why Millennial Moms Are Leaving Church54:45 — The Trad-Wife Control Trap59:06 — Joy Without Religion1:02:05 — Putting Jesus Before Family and Identity1:03:29 — Why Comfort Can Be Dangerous1:05:53 — The Spiritual Authority of Motherhood1:08:18 — Motherhood, Fear, and Surrender1:12:43 — A Prayer for Women to Come Fully Alive Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry:https://www.saltchurches.com/givingFollow SALT Church:https://www.instagram.com/saltchurches/Subscribe: @saltchurchNC#CourtneySmallbone #JessiGreen #TechnicolorWoman #ChristianWomen #Motherhood #Faith #Revival #SALTChurch

God did not create us merely to survive. In Genesis 2, He gives humanity life, meaningful work, rest, relationship, and access to His presence. Even before the fall, the chapter points beyond Adam and Eve to the One who would bring us back to life.In this message, Pastor Parker Green teaches why God's rest is more than doing nothing, why His boundaries protect rather than deprive us, and how He often leads us through a process so we can recognize what we truly need. The message culminates in Jesus, the second Adam, whose pierced side gives birth to His bride and whose sacrifice opens the way back to God.If this message helps you see Jesus in Genesis, share it with someone who needs to know that God is acting on their behalf.HIGHLIGHTS0:00 – Prayer and the Gospel in Genesis 1:26 – You Are Not the Main Character 3:43 – God Brings Order Out of Chaos 5:51 – God's Joy in Creation 6:08 – The First Holy Day: Rest 7:15 – Rest Is More Than Doing Nothing 9:10 – The Sabbath and the Work of Life 12:49 – God Breathes Life Into Dust 15:06 – The Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge 16:56 – Ask Whether It Brings Life 18:17 – Life Flows Out of Eden 18:52 – Adam Is Given Work 20:24 – God Begins With Abundance, Not Prohibition 22:45 – God's Boundaries Keep Us From Dying 24:40 – Christ Perfects Our Relationship With God 25:40 – It Is Not Good for Man To Be Alone 27:02 – God Leads Adam Through a Process 28:40 – God Brings the Woman to the Man 30:01 – Adam's First Song 31:44 – Leave and Cleave 33:38 – Pursue Your Wife With Passion 34:25 – The Second Adam and His Bride 36:27 – Jesus Went to the Tree 37:54 – Scripture Without Jesus Cannot Save You 40:03 – An Invitation to Follow Jesus 42:04 – Prayer for Marriage and Communion SCRIPTURES REFERENCEDGenesis 1:1–31 — God creates and declares creation very good Genesis 2:1–3 — God blesses the seventh day and makes it holy Genesis 2:4–25 — Eden, Adam's work, the two trees, Eve, and one flesh Genesis 3:1–24 — The fall and loss of access to the tree of life John 15:1–11 — Abiding in Jesus Romans 8:32 — God, having given His Son, graciously gives with Him all things John 4:1–42 — Jesus and the woman at the well; living water John 20:19–29 — The risen Jesus shows His wounds and breathes the Holy Spirit on His disciples John 5:39–40 — Scripture points to Jesus, in whom there is life Hebrews 4:14–16 — Approach the throne of grace with confidence Ephesians 5:25–32 — Christ's love for the Church and the mystery of marriage 2 Corinthians 5:17 — A new creation in Christ Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry:https://www.saltchurches.com/givingSubscribe:https://www.instagram.com/saltchurches/Subscribe @saltchurchNC Connect with Parker + Jessi Green:Instagram Parker / https://www.instagram.com/parkerrichardgreen/Instagram Jessi /https://www.instagram.com/jessi.green/Websites https://www.saltchurches.com/https://www.jessi-green.com/https://www.saturateglobal.com/#prayer #bible #biblestudy #saltchurch #revival #parkergreen #jessigreen

Communion was never meant to become a throwaway moment. After a powerful prayer meeting, we carried the Lord’s Table onto the campus of UNCW and more than 70 people came to know Jesus through public communion in one week.In this episode of The Invitation, Parker Green and Angel Barrientos share what happened on the UNCW campus, why communion is more than a symbol, and how the body and blood of Jesus brings believers back to the simple gospel. They explore communion as evangelism, the invitation to the marriage supper of the Lamb, healing, unity across denominations, and the faith required to meet Jesus at His table.If this conversation gives you a fresh revelation of communion, share it with someone and consider taking the Lord’s Supper with your family, small group, or church.CHAPTERS0:00 – Communion Revival at UNCW 1:08 – Leaving Prayer To Take Communion Public 3:43 – Five Salvations in Seven Minutes 4:19 – Why Communion Worked 6:34 – The Unexpected History of Welch’s Grape Juice 8:08 – Taking Communion Seriously 9:38 – Why Communion Became Central 10:01 – Acts 2:42 and the Breaking of Bread 12:52 – Communion as Evangelism 14:12 – The Marriage Supper and the Invitation 16:28 – Too Close to Revival To See It 18:13 – When Communion Becomes a Throwaway Moment 21:23 – Ninety Percent of Christianity Is Remembering 22:09 – Sharing the Gospel in Thirty Seconds 26:36 – The Bread of the Presence 29:33 – Healing Through Communion 30:49 – Jesus, the True Food 32:49 – Doing Evangelism Before It Looks Polished 34:17 – How Communion Creates Unity 36:28 – Tune Everything to Jesus 37:39 – What Communion Produces in Us 41:17 – Everything in Christianity Is By Faith 44:00 – The Bread Is Still Multiplying 44:50 – Prayer for a Communion Revival SCRIPTURE REFERENCEDActs 2:42 — The early church devoted itself to teaching, fellowship, prayer, and breaking bread 1 Corinthians 10:16–21 — Participation in the body and blood of Christ 1 Corinthians 11:23–30 — Remembering Jesus and discerning His body Luke 22:14–20 — Jesus institutes the Lord’s Supper Revelation 19:6–9 — The marriage supper of the Lamb Luke 14:15–24 — The invitation to the great banquet Luke 13:22–30 — The closed door and the urgency of responding John 6:22–59 — Jesus, the Bread of Life and true food John 4:1–42 — The woman at the well leaves her water jar to tell others about Jesus 1 Samuel 21:1–6 — David receives the consecrated bread Exodus 16 — Manna in the wilderness John 17:20–23 — Jesus prays that His people would be one Romans 1:17 — The righteous live by faith Plan Your Visit to SALT Church: https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry: https://www.saltchurches.com/givingConnect with SALT Church: https://www.instagram.com/saltchurches/ YouTube: @saltchurchNCConnect with Parker Green: https://www.instagram.com/parkerrichardgreen/Websites: https://www.saltchurches.com/ https://www.saturateglobal.com/#communion #revival #evangelism #gospel #Jesus #saltchurch #parkergreen
