This is our annual event where we set time apart as the body of Christ to allow the Holy Spirit to refresh, renew, and revive. Bring your family and friends for this exciting time of seeking God together as the body of Christ!<\/p>\n<p>Most of us live our lives based on what we can see, touch, and measure. But what happens when God peels back the curtain? True revival begins when we stop looking at our problems and start seeing our King. From Isaiah\u2019s breathtaking vision of the throne room to Jesus\u2019 personal invitation to &#8220;come and see,&#8221; this series is a journey of spiritual awakening. We will pray with the Apostle Paul that the &#8220;eyes of our hearts&#8221; would be enlightened\u2014moving us past religious routine and into a life-changing sight of God\u2019s hope, His riches, and His incomparable power.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; width: 100%;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\"><strong>Series Playlist<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"1361973867\" class=\"castos-player

He has pursued theological studies at Circleville Bible College (now Ohio Christian University), Wesley Biblical Seminary, Reformed Theological Seminary, and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. McGuire served on the faculty of Circleville Bible College from 1983 to 2006, while also pastoring part-time from 1991 to 2006. He then transitioned into full-time pastoral ministry, serving faithfully from 2006 until 2022. In 2023, he returned to Ohio Christian University, where he now serves as campus chaplain and faculty member.<\/p>\n<p>He and his wife, Rose, have three adult children. In his spare time, Dr. McGuire enjoys tending a large garden and participating in outdoor sports. Having grown up in the hills, he still finds himself drawn to even bigger hills whenever he can get away.<\/p>\n<h5>Schedule of Events<\/h5>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\"><strong>Sunday, May 17<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100px\" style=\"padding-left: 25px;\">9:00 am<\/td>\n<td>Joint Sunday school in the chapel with Dr. McGuire<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100px\" style=\"padding-left: 25px;\">10:15 am<\/td>\n<td>Revival worship service in the FYF Worship Center<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100px\" style=\"padding-left: 25px;\">6:30 pm<\/td>\n<td>Evening revival service in the Chapel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" style=\"padding-top: 15px;\"><strong>Monday, May 18<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100px\" style=\"padding-left: 25px;\">6:30 pm<\/td>\n<td>Evening revival service in the Chapel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" style=\"padding-top: 15px;\"><strong>Tuesday, May 19<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100px\" style=\"padding-left: 25px;\">6:30 pm<\/td>\n<td>Evening revival &amp; healing service in the chapel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" style=\"padding-top: 15px;\"><strong>Wednesday, May 20<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100px\" style=\"padding-left: 25px;\">5:30 pm<\/td>\n<td>All-church meal with Jersey Mike\u2019s in the FYF Friendship Suite. $5\/person or $15\/family max for sub, chips, &#038; tea. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/contact\/emc\/\">RSVP with the Church Office<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100px\" style=\"padding-left: 25px;\">6:30 pm<\/td>\n<td>Evening revival service in the FYF Worship Center<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/resources\/news\/04\/29\/spring-revival-2026\/\" class=\"more-link\" title=\"Read More\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[],"series":[],"class_list":["post-8663","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-sermon-series"],"episode_featured_image":false,"episode_player_image":"https:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/logo-itunes.jpg","download_link":"","player_link":"","audio_player":false,"episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":{"apple_podcasts":{"key":"apple_podcasts","url":"","label":"Apple Podcasts","class":"apple_podcasts","icon":"apple-podcasts.png"},"google_podcasts":{"key":"google_podcasts","url":"","label":"Google Podcasts","class":"google_podcasts","icon":"google-podcasts.png"},"spotify":{"key":"spotify","url":"","label":"Spotify","class":"spotify","icon":"spotify.png"},"stitcher":{"key":"stitcher","url":"","label":"Stitcher","class":"stitcher","icon":"stitcher.png"}},"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/resources\/feed\/podcast\/elizabeth-city-emc-podcast","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"kb4o1MgAVK\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/resources\/news\/04\/29\/spring-revival-2026\/\">2026 Revival: Open Our Eyes<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ecityemc.org\/resources\/news\/04\/29\/spring-revival-2026\/embed\/#?secret=kb4o1MgAVK\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;2026 Revival: Open Our Eyes&#8221; &#8212; Elizabeth City EMC\" data-secret=\"kb4o1MgAVK\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\/* <![CDATA[ *\/\n\/*!
