As we kick off 2013 at Revolution Church, we are starting a brand new series called Meaning where we will tackle these questions and many more like them. Big Idea: Many search for meaning and hope in knowledge, pleasure, or materialism in hopes of being on top. Only to find it isn’t the gift they hoped it would be. Next Steps: *I am going to enjoy God's gift of wisdom, living, pleasure or work this week instead of making them an idol. *I will ask my MC to hold me accountable to enjoying God's grace in life instead of making it an idol. *Get baptized in the next baptism *Get this week's 10+10 Questions *Get this week's Train Up Questions Recommended Resources: *"Counterfeit Gods: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power, and the Only Hope that Matters" by Tim Keller (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002TNGBJ0?ie=UTF8&tag=mywo087-20&linkCode=xm2&creativeASIN=B002TNGBJ0) http://www.tucsonrevolution.com/sermon/meaning-experimenting-with-boredom-ecclesiastes-112-226 http://www.tucsonrevolution.com/mediafiles/uploaded/1/0e1587563_12013.mp3 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 17:08:24 GMT Josh Reich Meaning At some point in our lives, all of us wrestle with the following questions: What makes life matter? How do I make my life count? How do I make 2013 better than 2012? What do I do when I get bored with my life, my career or my marriage? How do I find meaning so it's worth getting out of bed and doing something? As we kick off 2013 at Revolution Church, we are starting a brand new series called Meaning where we will tackle these questions and many more like them. Big Idea: The search for meaning without God leaves us longing for more. Next Steps: *Memorize Ecclesiastes 1:3 *Pray through areas I am putting my hope for meaning in that are not Jesus *I am giving up __________ (goal or desire) that puts my hope for meaning in something other than Jesus *Get this week's 10+10 Questions *Get this week's Train Up Questions Recommended Resources: *The Principle of the Path: How to Get from Where You are to Where You Want to Be by Andy Stanley (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FZOWIE?ie=UTF8&tag=mywo087-20&creativeASIN=B007FZOWIE) http://www.tucsonrevolution.com/sermon/meaning-finding-meaning-and-purpose-ecclesiastes-11-11 http://www.tucsonrevolution.com/mediafiles/uploaded/1/0e1587503_11313.mp3 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 20:08:18 GMT Josh Reich Meaning Image is Everything. Those words describe so much of how we live our lives. We all care deeply about what other people think about us. From our clothes, to our hair, our house, the way our kids dress and behave, how much money we make. Deep down we wonder if we stack up, if we have what it takes. In business, we wonder if we can climb to the top, make more money than everyone else, to be the best. With our bodies, we push and push to be skinnier, wear the latest clothes, have the trendy haircut. All for others to be jealous of us. With our kids, we push them to live out the dreams we failed to reach, to climb to the top of their class, all to have the life we never had. In the end, we end up as lost as when we started. Many of us spend our whole lives trying to figure out who we are. Or, trying to be someone else. Whether we put up a fascade of a life on Facebook, pretend our marriage is better than it really is, act like we aren't as hurt or as lonely as we really are. What if there was a truth that changed everything about how we saw ourselves? What if, the way God saw us changed everything? Big Idea: We are in a serious battle with a very real enemy seeking to destroy the people and the work of God, but Jesus has promised ultimate victory and laid out the way His followers are to defend against such serious opposition.

Those words describe so much of how we live our lives. We all care deeply about what other people think about us. From our clothes, to our hair, our house, the way our kids dress and behave, how much money we make. Deep down we wonder if we stack up, if we have what it takes. In business, we wonder if we can climb to the top, make more money than everyone else, to be the best. With our bodies, we push and push to be skinnier, wear the latest clothes, have the trendy haircut. All for others to be jealous of us. With our kids, we push them to live out the dreams we failed to reach, to climb to the top of their class, all to have the life we never had. In the end, we end up as lost as when we started. Many of us spend our whole lives trying to figure out who we are. Or, trying to be someone else. Whether we put up a fascade of a life on Facebook, pretend our marriage is better than it really is, act like we aren't as hurt or as lonely as we really are. What if there was a truth that changed everything about how we saw ourselves? What if, the way God saw us changed everything? Big Idea: There is a beautiful mystery - revealed in Jesus - that the creator of the universe reconciles himself to the world through us.

When you hear the word weird, images of Lady Gaga come to mind, or if you are older, Weird Al. Weird is something you do in our culture to define yourself, to stand out, in an effort to be indefinable by friends and family, to beat to your own drum. According to the Dictionary, Weird means something or suggesting something involving the supernatural, unearthly or uncanny, fantastic or bizarre. According to Scripture, when someone thinks of a follower of Jesus, the word weird should come to mind. According to 1 Peter 2, we are aliens, exiles on earth. This spring at Revolution Church, we are going to preach through the books of 1 & 2 Peter and look at this idea of being weird. We will look at how we truly follow Jesus in a way that causes people to ask questions, in a way that says we don’t belong. We will do this by looking at how we live when it comes to trial and pain, submitting to authority (godly and ungodly), in marriage, as a single, when dealing with sin in our lives and to finish off 2 Peter, we will spend 4 weeks looking at how this topic deals with heaven, hell and the afterlife. You can find the study guide for this series at http://www.tucsonrevolution.com/mediafiles/weird-study-guide.pdf Big Idea: *We mustn't build our identity based on our experiences, accomplishments, or relationships; rather "Who God is" and "What God has done" must capture our minds and hearts, giving us our identity ("Who are we") and sending us out on mission ("What we do.")

We experience problems and setbacks every day. But during the hardest parts of life, when the bottom seems to fall out, where do we turn for peace? Although God doesn't offer any easy solutions, He does offer Himself and His cross as an anchor of hope no matter what we face in life. And more than simply enduring suffering, the hope we find in Him allows us to leverage our darkest moments for His fame. When life hurts most, the world listens most intently to our message, allowing us to broadcast through our pain the goodness of the One who loves us the most.

Because we are celebrating the birth of Christ, Jude is a great book to look at. The reason is that Jude calls followers of Jesus to contend for the faith, to persevere and live differently because of what Jesus did. One of the main themes of Jude, a book that takes up one page in the Bible, is that it is easy for our culture and sin to pervert our belief. This is seen most clearly in the month of December, as we near Christmas. Followers of Jesus say Scripture calls us to be generous, to be humble, to live a pure lifestyle (which is true), but we don't always see that. We see followers of Jesus being stingy, greedy, spending thousands of dollars at Christmas. What Jude shows us is how we live shows if the gospel has changed us, if we've been truly saved. Big Idea: *We are drawn to stories with heroes and even long for one in our own life. Scripture tells us that Jesus is the hero of our story, not us.

Do people look at your life and think, "There's something different about their life. They live by a different standard, a different set of goals, dreams." Or do they see someone much like themselves: Living for themselves, their comfort, seeking to control their life, pursuing the American dream. These are some of the questions we'll encounter in the short New Testament letter, Titus. In it, the apostle Paul writes to Titus, one of his protege's and shares with him how to lead a young and growing church. Much like Revolution, Titus is a young church planter, in a city and he is striving to lead a community of people to be on mission to that city.
