Talking through the message during the week helps you turn what God is saying to you into action steps so that you can live out your faith. You can also use these questions and Scriptures in your own personal devotions during the week.

START:

• What was your nickname in high school?
• What do you do when someone says something that you really don’t want to hear?

SCRIPTURE:

Read Mark 8:31 – 9:1

• If your closest friends were asked what one word best describes you, what might they say?
• Who did the people of Jesus’ day say He was?
• Who do people today say Jesus is?
• What about you? How has your answer as to who Jesus is changed over time?

SHARE:

• What do you do when you are angry at God?
• How has your relationship with Jesus affected your lifestyle? Relationships? Politics? Priorities?
• Where does Jesus’ ways conflict with your ways?
• What do you stand to lose by following Christ – in EVERY area of your life?
• What do you stand to gain?

Join us this Sunday, January 29th for our 2 Year Birthday Bash! We will be celebrating all that God has done the past two years with free food, games and a baptism tailgate party from 12:30-2:00pm.

Talking through the message during the week helps you turn what God is saying to you into action steps so that you can live out your faith. You can also use these questions and Scriptures in your own personal devotions during the week.

Read Luke 16:1-13.

In this parable, Jesus instructs us that if we are not good stewards of worldly wealth, then God will not trust us with true riches.

• If someone was to look at your checkbook today, what would they learn about your priorities based upon how you spend your money?
• Do you think your priorities align with God’s?

Read Matthew 6:19-24 and Ecclesiastes 5:10

These verses show us that we cannot serve both God and money, and that there is no satisfaction in the love of money.

• Describe a time in your life where you placed your trust in money and not in God. How did the situation ultimately turn out? What did you learn from this experience?

Read Leviticus 27:30, Deuteronomy 14:23, and Malachi 3:7-11.

These verses emphasize the importance of giving the tithe to God and returning to God what is His.

• What does tithing currently look like in your own life? Is it something you do well or is it something you struggle with?
• How have you seen your life blessed because of your tithing? How have you seen others blessed because of your tithing?
• How has tithing affected your faith and relationship with God? What things have you learned about God and His blessings?

Read Matthew 23:23 and Proverbs 3:9-10.

These verses instruct us to give to God His tithe first rather then waiting to give it last.

• It requires faith to give first. If you give last, it doesn’t require faith. Describe a time when you gave first. What blessings resulted from your act of faith?

2012 is here! You have a new chance to start over. You are setting goals and making priority lists. There is so much to balance – relationships, health, friends, family, and finances. We’ve got a few ideas that might change how you live life in 2012.

Join us and find out why it shouldn’t be Jesus first.

Don’t Put Jesus First in 2012.

• If you were in charge of creating, destroying and redeeming the world, which of these would you take more time to do? Why?

• What Next Step do you think God may be calling you to take in faith?

Back in April we raised our faith in a big way as a church! We kicked off our first special initiative. It is called ILLUMINATE and its all about raising our faith and lighting up our area with the Gospel and love of Jesus!

Its been a revolutionary journey over the last four months! It is amazing to see His plan unfolding.

Now its time to finish ILLUMINATE strong – and early.

To do that we are investing in chairs together. For $200 per chair you can take a step of faith in your own life and invest in someone else’s faith. Understand: we are not buying chairs that cost $200. That figure represents everything it takes to serve up the bread of life in a creative and compelling way when someone attends Revolution!

The final date that you can do this is September 25th. To invest in chairs today you can:

• Click Here and give via debit. Be sure to select the option that says “Illuminate Commitment.”
• Give on Sunday mornings. Be sure to mark your offering envelope as Illuminate.
• Mail your check with “Illuminate” on the memo line to: REVOLUTION CHURCH, PO Box 45, Schertz, TX 78154

We will never get to do this again! We will only get to move into our first place once! I am so fired up and you are an INCREDIBLE CHURCH Revolution!

Let’s finish ILLUMINATE strong and early together so that we can go into our first location full throttle and LIGHT THIS AREA UP with the LOVE OF CHRIST!

If you have any questions or need any help with anything, contact the office at 210-880-5883. You can also email info@revyourlife.com

Starting a Revolution,

Pastor Zak  P.S. – You can watch our final ILLUMINATE message below for full details on what it means to INVEST in CHAIRS as we end ILLUMINATE.

• What does it mean to you to be truly happy?
• What is the one thing you would describe as your most valuable possession? Why is it so valuable to you?

• What are some of the “treasures” or possessions in your life currently distracting you from focusing on God? What specific things can you do to remove these distractions?

• Read 2 Corinthians 8:2-3
• Jesus said it is more blessed to give than to receive. Describe a time you gave sacrificially and the affect it had on you. Is there any way you could give even more sacrificially? If so, what would it be?

What does it mean to be destined for greatness? How does it feel to be designed for more than you could ever know? You’ve been built for great things, and God wants to call out that potential in you. Made is about being God-made. Made is about how God shapes greatness. Its time to get MADE.

Parent & Child Dedication is a commitment with other parents to raising Christ-centered Children.

Parent & Child Dedication offers families an opportunity to join with Revolution Church to leverage the best of our combined resources and energy to build strong families and raise Godly children. It is this focus that leads us to Parent and Child Dedication, rather than just baby dedication.

This special time also gives you the opportunity to have a pastor pray for God’s blessings on your child and your family.

Parent & Child Dedication is a celebration that recognizes your child is a gift from God and makes public the church’s commitment to your family and your family’s commitment to the church. It is not a ceremony that brings salvation to your child or a substitute for believers baptism.

Parent & Child Dedication is for parents and/or legal guardians and their children ages birth through eight years old.

Click here to register for Parent & Child Dedication on May 22nd. We will have a special service called “The Night of Worship” at 6:00pm.
