Church in Los Angeles Morning Revival

Eating the Word

PDF: English | Español | 中文 | 한국어


Dear saints, Jeremiah 15:16 says, “Your words were found and I ate them, and Your word became to me the gladness and joy of my heart.” As we begin a new year, we hope that all of us will have a renewed and strengthened desire to take in word of God as our food day by day. In addition to getting into the materials below, we encourage everyone to set up Bible and ministry reading schedules for 2024 so that God’s word may be constituted into us for His purpose! To also help carry out this burden, beginning January 8 the church in Los Angeles will take the book of Genesis as the basis for our morning revival material.
