It's Good Friday, and I've been thinking about something all day. I can't get it off of my mind, so I figured I would just share it with you. Today, is the day that many of us will remember the sacrifice that Jesus Christ paid so that our sins could be forgiven. We're grateful for what today represents in regards to Calvary, because had it not been for Calvary, we'd all be lost without any hope of eternal salvation.
But, with that being said, it is sad that (1) this Sunday, Easter Sunday, will be the ONLY Sunday that some will step foot into a Church, except on Christmas and (2) that Easter Sunday is the ONLY Sunday that some preachers will preach "the Gospel!"
I just feel like telling someone today that the Gospel is NOT just an Easter message...it is THE MESSAGE! (Romans 1:16) says "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth!" (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) says that I can stand on the gospel because "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures."
The Gospel is THE MESSAGE whether it's Easter Sunday or NOT! Because of His death, burial and resurrection our sins can be forgiven, washed away and we can be made new through the power of the Holy Ghost! The Gospel IS the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ and we all have the opportunity to experience the Gospel when we Repent, are Baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ and filled with the Holy Ghost, evidenced by speaking in other tongues! (Acts 2:38)
You do not have to wait around for Easter Sunday to experience the Gospel because the Gospel is NOT just an Easter message...it is THE MESSAGE!

Marshall and Amy were married in April of 1996 and soon moved from Georgia to Jackson, Mississippi to enroll in Jackson College of Ministries (“JCM”). While attending JCM, Marshall received the call to preach. In 1999 Marshall graduated from JCM with a Bachelor’s Degree in Theology and Amy with a Bachelors Degree in Music. After graduating, this anointed team moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, where Marshall served as full time Youth Pastor/Assistant Pastor and Amy served as Minister of Music. About a year later they were called to the evangelistic field.
After evangelizing, Marshall accepted an Assistant Pastor’s position in Conyers , GA , and ministered there for a year and a half. It was while they were in Conyers, that Marshall and Amy felt God leading them to start a NEW work in the City of Lawrenceville. On April 7, 2002, the dream became reality and REVIVAL CENTER began having services at the Holiday Inn Express on Hwy. 120. A year later the church moved to its previous location on Gwinnett Drive. The church continued to grow until a new building was needed to expand the vision. A year later the church moved to its present location on Cedars Road. Through prophecy and much prayer, God has opened the door of Revival in the City of Lawrenceville and under Pastor Clack’s leadership REVIVAL CENTER is excited about the future.
