Can you define an effective and productive Christian? What does this kind of life look like? Is effectiveness measured by how many notches we have in our “gospel gun” belt showing how many people we witnessed to this week or the number of people we personally led to Christ? Is productivity measured by how large our ministry is, or how popular we are on social media? Is it determined by how we dress or what kind of music we listen to?

There are times in our Christian walk when we become lethargic, complacent, lukewarm and even spiritually indifferent. We can lose focus on loving God and others. Many times this is caused by our distraction with the things around us. In this lesson we will discuss when we need personal revival or renewal in our spiritual lives and begin discussing how to have it.

What is revival? It is a principle taught in the Bible that is a necessary event in the life of a believer. We all have a tendency to become complacent and stagnant in our relationship and walk with God. Several factors in the Bible indicate this. We will look at some of those in this lesson and some in the next lesson. In this series we will learn the Biblical principle of revival, why it is needed, how it takes place and what the results are in the lives of believers and those around them.

Job is probably the most vivid example of when life becomes difficult. Here was a very succesful man who experienced tragedy and did not know why. He received counsel from some of his friends, while well meaning, they were wrong. All the while, Satan was the reason behind the entire difficulty. So many times in our lives, Satan initiates difficulty to create doubt in our minds and turn us from God. When we do, we fall right into his trap. In this lesson we will see what Job did and how to avoid falling into Satan's trap when Life Is Difficult!
