The Wesleyan Way of Revival

Met up with Paul Ooi, Mag Phua, Andrew Lai just now to catch the lecture by Rev Dr.Eddie Fox,World Director of Evangelism, the World Methodist Council as he gave a message on "The Wesleyan Way of Revival"

Rev Dr Eddie Fox who has been preaching for 56 years since he was just 16! One can see such great passion & convictions as he delivered a true blue Methodist message!

He shared from this article which John Wesley wrote when he was 83 years old preaching in the open...

August 4, 1786, an elderly John Wesley wrote an article entitled, "Thoughts about Methodism." This article is reflective about the vitality of the movement. He wrote, "I am not afraid that the people called Methodists should ever cease to exist either in Europe or America. But I am afraid lest they should only exist as a dead sect, having the form of religion without the power. And this undoubtedly will be the case, unless they hold fast both the doctrine, spirit, and discipline with which they first set out."

A Classic Hymns that he sang to the congregation in his sermon & the congregation just join in together singing in great harmoniously!

Everybody ought to know.(X2)
Everybody ought to know who Jesus is.

He's the lily of the valley.
He's the brighter morning star.
He's the fairest of ten thousand.
Everybody ought to know.


“We are called to spread the Good News of the Gospel by Word, Deed and Sign in the power of the Holy Spirit so that the world may know Jesus Christ,”...“We, the people called Methodists, are followers of Jesus in the company of the Wesleys. John Wesley made it clear the Wesleyan Way for the Methodist Movement is to be alive, vibrant and growing.” - Rev Dr Eddie Fox


The last hymn we sang as he end of his beautiful Sermon on the Wesleyan Revival!

Hallelujah, Thine the glory
Hallelujah, amen
Hallelujah, Thine the glory
Revive us again

Revive us, revive us
Revive us again
