Are you feeling spiritually parched, yearning for a revitalizing touch from God? In his powerful sermon, Pastor Dave Gargano draws from Zechariah 10:1 to remind us of the divine promise of rain—a metaphor for God’s favor and presence that brings life and transformation. Just as rain revitalizes dry land, Pastor emphasizes that seeking God’s rain is essential for healing and growth in our lives. He encourages us to look beyond our past pains and embrace God’s plans for our future, assuring us that nothing we endure is wasted; God uses it to bring forth new life. Unpacking the concept of rain, he explains that it requires a lifting force (the Holy Spirit), moisture (God's presence), and often a bit of instability—the challenges we face—to cultivate the flourishing outcomes we desire. If you feel stuck in a dry season, Pastor invites you to ask for the rain of God’s Spirit, believing that it is not just imminent but already on its way to transform your life. Don't miss the chance to hear this uplifting message that could change your spiritual journey; tune in now and prepare for the rain that’s heading your way!


Zechariah 10:1 Ask the Lord for rain In the time of the latter rain. The Lord will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, Grass in the field for everyone.

Exodus 24:15-18 Then Moses climbed up the mountain, and the cloud covered it. And the glory of the Lord settled down on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from inside the cloud. To the Israelites at the foot of the mountain, the glory of the Lord appeared at the summit like a consuming fire. Then Moses disappeared into the cloud as he climbed higher up the mountain. He remained on the mountain

forty days and forty nights.

2 Chronicles 5:13-14 KJV It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying, For He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord; so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God. 


Matthew 17:5-6 But even as he spoke, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My dearly loved Son, who brings Me great joy. Listen to Him.” The disciples were terrified and fell face down on the ground.
