The Former and Latter Rains

God’s Seasons of Refreshing, Repentance, and Restoration

This message uses the biblical image of seasonal rain to describe God’s faithfulness, blessing, and work of spiritual restoration. Beginning with Elijah’s prayer for rain after a long drought, it explains how God used the former and latter rains in Israel as signs of provision tied to obedience, repentance, and covenant faithfulness.
