Dear COR Family,

I have received a few messages requesting an update on the results of our Internet Revival experiement: "WrestleMania: Are You Wrestling With God?"

I want to thank all of you for the emails, text messages, calls, tweets, posts, shares, and likes during our Internet Revival, "WrestleMania: Are You Wrestling With God?" 

It was quite the experiment.  It started with a question, How can we get more of our members to participate in a church-wide revival effort? 

And it ended with an answer: Package the sermons like a television Show and air them exclusively online.

So, with the help of the Spirit, we attempted to reach iPads, tablets, iphones, and Droids versus pews, aisles, and buildings.

We asked ourselves: What does Ministry of Healing p.143 look like today?

What does Matthew 13's casting seed look like in 2013? 

I think we may be a step closer to an answer.  Here are our results.

All episodes are archived at riversidenashville.org and on YouTube under WrestleMania Revival.

Amazon [Launched 9/6/13]

We are now offering all five parts on DVD at Amazon.com. 

All proceeds will go towards funding for our next Youth/Young-Adult Evangelistic Effort.

So after 70,000+ Total Youtube Views, all we can say is "God, we're so grateful that you have favored us in this way!" 

I think Jesus has blessed us with a newer model that allows us to reach more people with less resources.
