Title: Intimate Grace
Speaker: Bradley Hicks
Series: 2025 Revival Sermons
Date: October 19, 2025
Bible: John 11:43; Revelation 12:11
The sermon centers on the intimate, personal nature of God's grace and providence, illustrated through the resurrection of Lazarus and the victory over evil described in Revelation 12:11. It emphasizes that God's sovereign plan unfolds not in abstract grandeur but in the specific, often painful, details of individual lives, where suffering and brokenness become the very means by which He draws people to Himself. Through stories of diverse individuals—from the religious Nicodemus to the broken woman caught in adultery—the message affirms that every life, no matter how fractured, is part of God's redemptive design. The preacher calls believers to embrace their personal testimonies as powerful declarations of God's faithfulness, urging them to share the intimate ways God has spoken their name and brought them to life. Ultimately, the sermon invites both the lost and the saved to trust in God's unseen hand, knowing that even death is not the end, but the pathway to resurrection and intimate fellowship with Him.
