Teaching Points

  • 1

    The church in the West is declining — but decline is not destiny. Revival has happened before and can happen again.

  • 2

    Revitalization is not about bigger buildings or better programs — it is about returning to the biblical pattern.

  • 3

    Acts 2:42-47 is not just for the early church — it is for every church, in every generation, in every culture.

  • 4

    Jesus Generation Movement exists to revitalize the church — to help believers return to the simplicity, power, and mission of the early church.

  • 5

    The best way to predict the future of the church is to create it. That is what church planters do.
