The Promise of Peace in God’s Kingdom - Pastor Ed Staton

NW GRACE INTL MINISTER’S RETREAT SESSION 4 - Pastor Scott Hayes

Pastor Scott Hayes delivers a powerful message on embracing the messy, life-changing reality of true revival. Drawing from Proverbs 14:4, Hosea 10:12, Isaiah 64:1, and Acts 8, he challenges believers and church leaders to welcome the “disruption” of God’s Spirit—where order is interrupted, lives are transformed, and a great harvest is born from the willingness to step into the mess of people’s brokenness. This message calls the church to prepare for revival that shakes routines, breaks up fallow ground, and ushers in the glory of God.

Through personal stories of humble beginnings, challenges, and shepherding a community, Pastor Ed reminds us that ministry is about people, not tasks. Drawing from 1 & 2 Timothy and Revelation 21, he calls pastors, youth leaders, and teachers to recommit to loving and leading their “stones” into God’s presence and ultimately to heaven.

Key passages include Exodus 33:14-23, Exodus 40, and 2 Corinthians 3:17–18, inviting listeners to seek the unveiled face of God and be transformed from glory to glory.
