PINEVILLE, La. (Wildcats Media) – Louisiana Christian University held its spring revival series, March 15-17, inside Guinn Auditorium.
The featured speaker was Jason McGuffie, pastor at First Baptist Church West Monroe’s Calhoun campus and a former LCU board member. In his message, McGuffie said God changed Paul’s life in a moment during his journey on the road to Damascus, when he was transformed by the power of Jesus from a persecutor of the church to a messenger for Christ.
He told the students they, too, could experience that same transformation found in Jesus.
“There are opportunities all around you that God can change your heart and launch you into a new purpose to go and impact and change the world,” McGuffie told the students. “But it starts with that moment with Jesus.”
According to Justin Langford, dean of the School of Missions and Ministries, LCU’s revivals allow students and faculty an opportunity to come together and experience salvation through Christ.
“The thing I love most about revival is just the sense of community,” Langford said. “We have that here on campus, but I think it adds to that in a spiritual sense.”
LCU President Rick Brewer echoed the thought.
“We know great movements of renewal and revival have often launched from an university campus,” Brewer said. “And that’s the hope and posture of prayer we approach this time set aside in our university life for more intentional focus on redemption and reconciliation. Praying for the power of the Holy Spirit to be experienced through the worship and preaching of the Word.”
