Service Recap: Soda or Sucker!

2008-12-11T06:28:00.000-08:00

Last night we had Pastor Larry Bettencourt come and continue our series on Identity. Pastor Larry was our old youth pastor and the founder of Revolution. It's always a blessing to have him come back!

We had an awesome night! Worship was unbelievable!

Here are some of the nuggets from PL's message last night:

**Identity is formed by the truths you believe!

**It's better to be disliked for who you are than liked for who you're not

As Christians we need to grow up by continually learning new truths from God's Word - as we continue to learn the Word and Practice it - we build a strong foundation that can't be broken. (PL used an awesome illustration with sticks!)

Consistency=Power - 4 steps to consistent Christian Growth:

Devotions - spending time in the Word, Prayer, Worship
Going to Youth Group
Godly friends and Mentors
Asking questions and giving answers

It was an amazing night overall - definitely worth listening to the podcast!

Going all the Way: Q and A Top Questions

2008-10-27T14:05:00.000-07:00

We're wrapping up a series at Rev called Going all the Way. This past Wednesday as well as the weekend we had the Rev staff and 2 of our leaders answer students questions on sex, dating, and the single life. Here are some of the best questions we got:

How much does a kiss mean to you?
Is it ok for gays to have parades or whatever according to God?
How far is too far?
How do you know when you've found "the one"
How do you tell someone you don't love them when they tell you they love you?
Is masturbation ok?
How sacred is marriage? If it's so sacred how did it get so demoralized in our culture? What is God's view of marriage?
Where do we need to get our love? Not the dating kind, but the kind where you know who you are and than you're loved and that we're important...and how?
What sort of situations should you avoid being in with the opposite sex?
How do I get over the brokenness of breaking off a bad relationship?
My entire family has never abstained from sex before marriage. How do I keep myself pure when I'm surrounded by that negative influence?
Is sex before marriage ok if you've been together a long time or if you're engaged (you know you'll be with them the rest of your life.)
What do you do if you have a bf/gf and your parents don't know about it?
Is it possible for relationships that aren't God-centered to survive? How does our society do it?
What are some specific standards and boundaries in your relationships with others of the opposite sex?
What if one of your friends cheated on their bf/gf... what do you do?
What is the difference/line between infatuation and real love?
What do you do if your parents are encouraging you to wear make up and date the "right" guys for your reputation?
How do you get over a broken heart?
Where do you see most people "miss it" when it comes to dating?
What if I've had sex with my bf/gf and can't stop... I know it's wrong, but it's so hard. What can I do?
What if I'm in a relationship I know I shouldn't be in, but I'm afraid to break it off?

Some great questions and there were many more... The podcasts should be up soon!

Question and Answer this Wednesday and Weekend!

2008-10-21T08:26:00.000-07:00

Wednesday Night Recap 10.8.08

2008-10-09T10:46:00.000-07:00

We had a great service Wednesday night! We had our second "Dating 101" video staring Pastor Skip Dangle that will be up on our Vimeo site soon! We had a completely different structure to our format last night! We love to switch things up!

Pastor Nathan continued our series "Going all the Way" with a great message. Here are some of the highlights:

"Where is the midget bus so I can laugh then leave this parade"
"Midgets fall off trucks cause their hands are too small... then kids catch them and ask their parents if they can keep them."

Top 5 things that will derail our sexuality:

Self Image, Media, Hormones, Music, Peer Pressure
To remain pure you have to make the decision that you'll remain pure regardless of the circumstances.
If you make a decision in the moment... you'll get stuck with things you never asked for.
Virginity is the one thing nobody can take away from you, and the one thing that those who have given theirs away can never turn around and say that they remained a virgin until they were married.
We were created to feed our needs and we'll either feed them with our appetite for the things of God or for the things of the world.

Overall it was a great night! Don't miss this weekend... amazing things will be in store!

Dating 101 (Part 1)

Fear Factor Video Leading to the Finals

2008-09-27T08:14:00.001-07:00

Intro to Fear Factor week 4 from Revolution Student Ministries on Vimeo.

Fear Factor Finale Recap

2008-09-25T06:11:00.000-07:00

Last night was our last night of Fear Factor! In the finals were Anna Bettencourt and Rebecca Sicilia! They had to eat two live Madagascar hissing cockroaches!

It was absolutely disgusting!

Rebecca Sicilia (pictured below in the black shirt) ended up taking up the grand prize of a flat screen TV! It was pretty sweet! Congratulations to Rebecca and Anna and everybody else who participated!

As for the rest of service... Pastor Nathan Hurst (our new youth pastor) made his debut at Rev! He did a phenomenal job preaching! The biggest takeaway I had was:

The greatest thing I can give back to God isn't the gift of talent He gave me . . . it's when I live a life sold out to God so that who I am as a person gives him glory. (Great nugget!)

Then Pastor Nathan and his wife Laurie opened up the floor to the youth for any questions they had for him to get to know him better... you'll have to listen to the podcast for answers, but some of my favorite questions were:

What's the worst thing you've ever done?
Who wears the pants in your relationship?
To Laurie - Is Pastor Nathan hard to put up with?

Overall... Great Service... See you this weekend!!!

The Core: Student Leadership Training this Saturday

So we had our second round of Fear Factor last night! The 7 contestants had to bob for worms in a mix of tuna, olives, olive juice, and sardines. The first 4 students that got 10 worms are moving on to round 3 next Wednesday. It was pure insanity!

As far as service was concerned: SICK!

It was an awesome service. I loved our worship set and thought Sean and the band did a great job! I love that song "Always Forever" by Phil Wickham. I get pumped up!

Sean spoke on overcoming our fears in life. I thought this was one of the best messages Sean has preached! Listen to the podcast! It will change your life!!

Fear Factor Round 1/Service Recap

2008-09-04T06:33:00.001-07:00

So we had 13 contestants crazy enough to be a part of Fear Factor! In our first night we had 2 rounds with the hope of having 8 people move on to next weeks challenge. We ended up with only 7 people who survived!

Round 1 consisted of the Buttermilk Chug followed by the 2nd round in which contestants had to keep crickets in their mouth for 45 seconds, chew them, swallow them, and then down 2 goldfish! Nasty! All of this in hope that 3 weeks from now one of them will be walking home with a 26 inch flat screen TV!

Come out and check out our 2nd week of Fear Factor next Wednesday and see which of the 7 contestants will conquer their fears and move onto the next round!!

For the actual service we had an amazing time in Worship with Sean Moore and then we had our 4:12 Students run the entire service! From announcements by Jesse and Niki to Offering by Laura and Katie and everyone gave a quick testimony of what God did in and through their lives over the summer! I am so proud of all them and they did a great job!!!

4:12 Recap

2008-08-25T13:47:00.001-07:00

Our 4:12 Celebration Dinner!

How fast did this summer go? I just want to recognize and thank our 4:12 Students that came in and worked hard all summer. They've made a difference in our lives, students at Revs lives, and made a difference at Victory Family Church.

If I had to sum up what they've taught me over the summer I'd say this:

Students have way more potential than any of us realize

Students can work a lot harder than people give them credit for

Students want to make a difference in the lives of other people just as much as anyone else does

Students that are on fire for God are contagious and effect everyone around them!

Thank you to our leaders who made this happen: Cory Vogan, Brianne Kessel, and Vanessa Phillips!

Thank you Jesse, Niki, Allison, Nathan, Josiah, Victor, Laura, Brian, and Katie!

Rev Service Tonight

2008-08-13T16:46:00.001-07:00

Another Wednesday service has come and gone. Tonight it was not Sean Moore on the stage leading our worship, but rather it was Zack Blair gracing us with his vocal and guitar skilz (that's right... with a "z"). At the same time it was not Bubba that was our orator, but rather it was Sean Moore. I know, I know... things are all topsy-turvey. So, where was Bubba? Sitting on the back row. Will he be back? Tune in next week to find out. Anywho. We had a new announcement video this week, and here it is for your viewing pleasure:

2008-08-13T08:04:00.001-07:00

Today is the last official day of our 4:12 Summer of Service. We've had an unbelievable summer! We had a great group of 10-12 students dedicate their entire summer to serving at Rev! It's been a blast getting to know all of them, seeing them grow, and seeing their gifts and talents be realized and drawn out. I am very excited for their futures! I'll probably have a post recapping the summer with some highlights and things of that nature after today. We're having their exit interviews this afternoon! I am going to miss seeing them all the time!!!

Thank You Guys!! You've helped change my life, the staff's lives, and the students at Revolutions lives!

And then there was Ben Rath. That is right, the blogger from the Rath Faction graced us with his presence. Here are a few of the high lights from his message:

Your purpose is fulfilled through you, but it’s for others
Vision is when you SEE your purpose & imagine how you will fulfill it
Vision is your core beliefs (your uncompromising tenants)
Vision is the ability to see farther than your physical eyes can look
There are no extra laps in life

Thanks Ben, you are a wise man.

"His Beloved" Girls Day Out!

Today in Revolution

2008-07-16T13:22:00.000-07:00

First off, allow me to mention that we are tired of the black and white screens, so we are changing things up. The student leadership team is currently working on painting a bunch of wood, and they are LOVING IT! you can see the excitement in their faces. So, what is it going to be? Well, you'll just have to come and check it out in person.

And in other news... We had service tonight.
Bubba had a great message about temptation. A few points:
Temptation
1. Don't be naive
2. find out your weak spots
3. Find some accountability
4. Don't give justification a chance... Just run.
5. See the big picture
You can find the full message audio on the podcast page.

And then there was the game. Oh, the game. Who could forget the game. What a game it was. What a game it was indeed. The image captures it all. And by "it all" I mean that this picture captures everything most playing this game new about this game. So, if you know what is going on here, then you are one step ahead of the people in the photo and kudos to you.

Summer Scream Camp Recap

2008-06-29T18:41:00.000-07:00

It's been a day since we got back from camp and I am still exhausted! I think the 6 months leading to camp a lot of us we're very hmm . . . curious, how camp would be at the "Church in the Cornfield". After all, we're used to hosting our own camp (JAC) and the past two years we've gone to a camp in Erie, PA. I think a lot of us asked the question... can God move in IL? (Joke) 13 hours bus ride, no cell phones or ipods, could we survive?

Now that camp is over I can look back and say that I was more than pleased with everything! I really enjoyed the way they had their days formatted, the services, reflection times, games, the camp rules, the lakes, the food, the services, their leaders, and staff. I would definitely go back to this camp.

Here is a list of my highlights:

13 hours bus ride - Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Napoleon Dynamite, The Lion King, McD's and Burger King
Frogs in the Swimming Pool, Poster for ticks
The lake - Game with the inflatable balls, tug of war, trampoline, paddle boats, the bridge . . . biathlon, water ball, spasswords, name that price,
Jesse Swanson - Movie Previews, Girls being "gangstas" and rapping, the "Bubba" dance, America's got Talent before meals, my long socks new fashion style, my new short pink socks, running camera every night (my new calling!), G squared, Twix Ice Cream Bars!!!,
Sleeping in 1 room with 100 guys...

Spiritually:

For myself... this was a bit different coming from a leadership perspective. I absolutely loved watching everyone in our group experience God for themselves. Watching everyone worship, pray for one another, and encouraging one another was absolutely priceless for me. I really don't think there is any greater joy that I experience in life (Until I get married haha). I also really enjoyed having reflection time each morning with our youth group. It was really cool getting to hear what God was doing in each of your lives and the passion in each of your hearts to make a difference in this world.

The best night was Tuesday night for me... having all the students of Rev come up and lay hands on Sean and I was such an awesome thing. God changed my life that night!

What were some of your favorite memories from camp? Have a camp testimony? We'd love to hear from you!!!

If you were really touched by camp, I would suggest e-mailing a testimony to their church's staff. You can find the link to their church on the camp website.

This Wednesday we will be having testimonies from camp as well as highlight video's at our 4th of July Party. Be there!

Welcome Home Suprise from Zack Blair and Staff

2008-06-28T08:07:00.000-07:00

I thought my first post would be a recap from Summer Scream Camp (which was awesome.) However, when we got back to the church at 3:15 a.m. Saturday morning, Madeline called me into my cube because she said someone left me a message. One student told me another student had fallen and gotten a bloody nose (the last thing I wanted to deal with after a 14 hour bus ride.) As I walked back to my cube, I saw it was surrounded by campers laughing... This is what they were looking at:

I'm not quite sure what Sean and I will come back with to get Zack... but you can be sure of this... we will have our revenge.

Stay posted ......

The Plan

2008-06-22T19:32:00.000-07:00

So...

I've decided that while the staff is away, the Vogan will play. If you want in on some super-secret ultra-covert fantastic prank action hit this up with a comment or send me an e-mail at cory@rev412.org and we will have a good bit of devious fun. Just to whet your appetite, think aluminum foil and balloons.

Oh, and I shall post photo's of the results shortly after.

Off to Camp!

2008-06-20T17:23:00.001-07:00

Summer camp is finally here! We're heading out on a 10-12 hour bus ride tomorrow baby! This should be exciting stuff. Sean wants to have the Lord of the Rings trilogy going on one bus and Star Wars on the other bus. I'm down... I think that is every ones dream... to take an entire day and just watch an entire trilogy, but it never seems to happen because we're too busy. Anyway... I always get off topic . . .

Zack Blair will be running the show while we're gone so do not miss Rev! Zack is the man! Since the camp is taking away all technology, I am not sure if I'll be able to Twitter or post any blogs... in either case I'll have a post with funny pictures and stories from throughout the week. I'll miss you all... Cory is in charge of blogging while I'm gone... so if the blogs are "weird"...that is why.

We're expecting God to do huge things at this camp and to come back with all of our students sold out to God and ready to head into the Fall ready to go out and get 300 students to Rev every Wednesday night! (That is the number God has put on our hearts to reach this fall... if not more... More on that later...)

Much Love...Bubs

Twitterpated

2008-06-19T20:09:00.001-07:00

Hahaha... Hampson left this as a comment in reference to the Twitter post... you gotta see this and put it in context with the Twitter post!

Twitter

2008-06-19T15:48:00.000-07:00

Ok . . . Just when I was getting over the MySpace and Facebook phenomenon, Cory Vogan gets me completely hooked on this new service called Twitter. (He has powers(like the force) that allow him to influence people to use all the newest technology fads) I remember I was like I will never use Twitter... he waved his hand at me and said You will use twitter... and I responded, "I will use Twitter" and I have and now I am hooked!

Twitter is basically a micro-blogging community. It's a place where you can update via web or txt what you're doing and inform people. I like it because you can follow people and see what they do in everyday life. For instance, I follow Doug Fields who is Rick Warrens Youth Pastor. It is interesting to see what a normal day looks like to him through his Twitter updates.

Anyway... Try this site out and see if you get hooked... if you don't...Trust me, Cory will find you whether you like it or not!

Here are some Rev Twitters you can check out and see if you like:

Service Review: The Return of PL

2008-06-19T14:50:00.000-07:00

It was so nice to have Pastor Larry come back to Revolution. He has made such an incredible impact on all of our lives. The service brought back so many good memories! He spoke on the "5 Greatest Adventure Statements of Jesus". It was a fantastic message and then we went into a time of worship with Sean. We spent the whole time singing "Wrap me in Your Arms" (My favorite) and PL had everyone pray with each other. I really enjoy when he does this and it is something that I want to implement at Rev in the upcoming months. Overall it was a great night and it was an honor to have Pastor Larry come back and share. We're going to try to set up another date in the next few months for him to come back and share. Thank you Pastor Larry!

Key Takeaway for me:

God cares more about you than what you do for Him

I've heard that before from PL, but as I grow spiritually and the more I reflect on that... the more life changing I find that single statement to be.

If you missed service, please listen to the podcast here.

What did you like best about PL's message?

The Return of PL

2008-06-17T17:01:00.000-07:00

Pastor Larry will be our guest speaker tomorrow night at Revolution (6.18.08). It has almost been a year since Pastor Larry left Revolution to start his own ministry (click here for PL's website.)

I've been trying for two months, but have come up short in an attempt to get a donkey for Pastor Larry to ride in on while giving all the students palm leaves . . . better luck next time.

Pastor Larry has been the most influential man in my life and in the lives of hundreds of teenagers, twenty-somethings, and leaders lives. Make sure you invite your friends to come hear this incredible man of God. See you tomorrow night!

First Day of 412

2008-06-16T16:23:00.000-07:00

Today, in fact, was the first day of the 412 summer of service, and it was good. For those nine of you that were there you may or may not agree. I happen to think that we have laid the groundwork for what will be the best summer of service yet, but then I am rather biased. We watched some Ron Luce and John Maxwell (Bubba's hero), and got all of the formalities out of the way. And then they stuffed seat pockets, which I think will become one of the favorite activities for the students.

It is true, most of the work that they will be doing will be tedious and seemingly pointless, but it all has a purpose. Jesus, a favorite of mine, said that you must be faithful in the small things in order to be responsible in the big things. And right now those small things include stuffing seat pockets with the red card slightly tilted to the right along with two pens.

Congratulations to all of those that will be slaving, I mean working with the ladies, Bubba and myself. It should be a fun time.

Book Review: Lincoln on Leadership

2008-06-15T19:40:00.001-07:00

This book has been in my library for a few years now and I've finally read it. Does anyone else have a library that keeps growing while you've only read about 20% of the books in it? I originally bought it because I've heard so many leaders rant and rave about how great of a book this was. It's on John Maxwell's Lifetime Must Read List.

The beginning of the book was a little slow, but after a few chapters, I could not put it down! This was the first book I've read that was specifically about one leaders life. I am usually just reading books with leadership principles in them. I thought it was absolutely fascinating to read about how Abraham Lincoln lived his life and led our country through the hardest time in its history. I would suggest this book to anyone who enjoys history and leadership and wants practical application of leadership principles and concepts.

After reading this book, I've decided that I am going to make a habit of reading biographies and autobiographies of great leaders of the past and present. (Another Bubba Kick...Whew!)

Grade: B+ Buy This Book Here.

Book Review: Be All You Can Be

2008-06-13T07:32:00.000-07:00

I just finished this book by my hero, John Maxwell! This review could be slightly (I stress slightly) bias. One of my goals in life is to read every book that John Maxwell has written.

This book is actually one of his earlier books that they just recently republished and revised it. He wrote it when he was still the Pastor of Skyline Church in San Diego. It is a combination of a lot of the leadership lessons he taught his staff on a month to month basis. I couldn't resist!

The book has 13 chapters and is a really easy read. He really teaches a lot on vision and commitment. One of the things I really enjoyed about this book is he used scripture as the foundation. I loved being able to look into the scriptures through Maxwell's eyes because he is so focused on leadership that he pulls out amazing things from the scriptures that I would normally tend to overlook.

Here are some of the key nuggets I got while reading this book:

If something is to be in my life, then it's up to me!

Success is the privilege of contributing to the betterment of others!

To be all I can be, I need to help you be all you can be!

The only one who can stop you from becoming the person God intends you to be is you!

The Road to Success is paved with criticism

Behind every great accomplishment is a purpose, not a wish. Our purpose is what keeps us from giving up.

If you're in leadership . . . you will get hurt.

People want success without sacrifice, but it never works that way

When someone succeeds in life the world looks back and wonders how these successful people got so lucky. Luck had nothing to do with it; they were simply willing to do what all the rest of the people were unwilling to do.

We see problems based on our past experiences, present environment, and personal evaluation.

"My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure." -Abe Lincoln.... learn to fail forward!

If you become secure in God, you will gain a freedom that people can never give you!

These were just some of the key nuggets that stuck out... I didn't want to take up too much space. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. You can never read enough of these kinds of books that encourage you and challenge you to dream bigger than you currently are.

Buy it here.

Impartation Wednesday Night Recap

2008-06-11T20:32:00.000-07:00

I can't believe Impartation is over already. We've been waiting an entire year for this and now it is gone. What an amazing conference though! I felt like a little kid on the last day of summer camp, not wanting to go home. This conference will have a lifetime impact on me... I'm really excited to start implementing what I learned in my everyday life. If you were unable to attend a session I cannot encourage you enough to listen to them. You can download all of them at www.lifeatvictory.com/podcasts

Here are some of my favorite nuggets from day 3:

Doug Jones:

A teachable spirit and maturity go hand in hand with one another
2 reasons for teaching are to form and strengthen beliefs
You can't keep false doctrine from coming, but you can lessen the impact if you teach people properly before hand
The purpose of our beliefs is to govern what we think, say, and do
You cannot be governed by two things at the same time... you'll either be governed by the Word or your flesh
Areas in our lives where we're bearing fruit -> we're mature and spiritual
Areas in our lives that we're frustrated -> we're carnal and immature
Our goal as Christians is to disconnect our flesh from governing what we think, say, and do
If you're not saying no to several thoughts a day... you're not being governed by what you believe
Every problem, every person we encounter, and every command from God will demand a response. How we respond will determine the outcome!
You're initial response to something does not have to be you're permanent response

Keith Moore:

We need to move beyond knowing God can do something to expecting Him to do something!
People who want church to be a half an hour service aren't expecting anything... if they were expecting... they'd want to stay all night!

Please let us know what some of your highlights were from Impartation!

Much love...

Impartation Tuesday Recap

2008-06-10T20:19:00.000-07:00

The second day of the Impartation Conference was awesome!

Here are my highlights:

Doug Jones:

We need to be able to look in our own lives and judge ourselves to whether or not we're carnal or spiritual
It's possible to go from being a spiritual baby to spiritual maturity in 4-7 years!
Everyone starts on the same step when it comes to spiritual growth

To Grow spiritually you must give attention to spiritual growth, get fed the proper food, and exercise your faith!

If you have favorite teachers in the body you're carnal (I didn't like this one!! haha)
You're spiritually mature when you have control over your flesh
3 Reasons people abandon their beliefs: Problems, False Doctrine, and the Good life
We should come to church with the purpose of forming and strengthening our beliefs with the Word of God!

Keith Moore:

Don't talk unbelief about your city, area, local schools
God won't let someone who is expecting be disappointed!
God is not moved by needs or desperation
"There is something about faith that will cause God to skip over a million people to come to you!" -Smith Wigglesworth
Faith is the substance of what you expect.
The Word is a closed book to unbelievers!

Love you Guys!

4:12 Update

2008-06-10T13:02:00.000-07:00

For those of you in the know, we have our annual 4:12 summer of service is getting ready to kick off. I've spent most of the day working on technical behind the scenes sort of stuff that should make this the most effective summer we have seen yet. I am quite excited about it. I'll be heading in to the office all day tomorrow to meet with Bubba and the team to work out the nitty-gritty and get things set for the best summer yet.

Oh, and for those of you that are leading the pack in webtastic nerdcentric fun, I am now rocking on twitter. But please keep the techno-stalking to a minimum. You will see another familiar face on there as well.

Shalom.

Monday Impartation Recap

2008-06-09T18:55:00.000-07:00

Today was the first day with Doug Jones and Keith Moore! It was everything I expected and more!

If you're unable to make it to any of the services for any reason they are live streaming on the internet. I've heard awesome things about this.
To watch go here .

Here are the key nuggets I got out of the messages:

Doug Jones:
Scriptures: I Peter 5:1-4, Hebrews 13:20, John 10:11, I Cor. 3:9, II Cor. 5:20; Phil 2:19-22

Never let what you're going through personally to sidetrack you from being concerned about others.
We not only need to know who God is, and what He does, but we also need to know His interests!

His Interests are:

The Lost (In the Gospels)
Getting People Spirit Filled (Acts)
Getting people to grow up spiritually (Epistles)

If you want God to speak to you... start talking to Him about what He's interested in! He'll start speaking to you all the time!
The only people that will go places are those who have the Father's interests as their own!

Keith Moore:
Scriptures: Hebrews 11:6, Psalm 27:13, Matt. 14:26

Anytime you're looking at something that seems to big -> You're not looking at God!
God is waiting on us to believe!
We must believe that God is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him! Heb. 11:7
Most Christians believe God is, unfortunately a lot do not believe He is a rewarder.
Start confessing over your life: Something good is about to happen to me!

I'm so excited to hear these guys on Tuesday and Wednesday! If you missed the messages and would like to hear them you can download them here.

We'd love it if you shared with us you're favorite nuggets from the services... feel free to post comments!

Love you guys!

And now for something completely different...

2008-06-09T13:26:00.000-07:00

So just to mix things up a bit, here are Sean's Songs to Give a Chance. I purposely threw in some variety where genre is concerned, so feel free to love, hate, and comment.

P.S. the "Untitled" song is "Now is the Time" by Slick Shoes. It's ace.

Impartation Sunday Night Recap

2008-06-09T06:15:00.000-07:00

The Impartation Conference kicked off last night with Pastor Duane Sheriff spoke on Vision, Patience, and Problems. It was a great message! Here we're some of my favorite nuggets:

"God has a plan for your life and He wants to do a lot more than just fix your problem."

"Character is not always a moral issue, it is a maturity issue"

Count it a joy when you're going through problems (James 1:2). Why?:

Your Problems -> Works Patience -> You Mature -> End Result: You're complete, lacking and wanting nothing!

"Most people don't want help, they want relief. They don't want to and aren't willing to go through the process they need to in order to get help."

"Every problem will open up doors for you to overcome it, mature, and then help other people through it. Ultimately it is to benefit other people!"

What we're some of the best things you took away from the message? Leave some comments!

Doug Jones and Keith Moore tomorrow!! I can't wait!

See you there!

Pranking the ZB Episode 1

2008-06-05T13:44:00.000-07:00

Oh yes, the dastardly deeds of the Revolution staff. More specifically, me and Bubs. Even more specifically, me. Here is the backstory:

Zacky the Blair was preparing a sermon and being kind of crabby. He locked his door and shut his blinds to make sure he was not going to be interrupted. This was the perfect time to strike.

At first, I stuffed some postcards under his door. I stuffed as many as I could in hopes of getting enough under there to keep the door from opening. (You can see some of them in the picture below) Luckily, my brain hatched another idea. This one involved actually trying to keep Zack in his office for awhile (or at least make it difficult to get out).

Fortunately for the prank, Zack's office door opens in toward his office with a bathroom door across from his door. After some quick consulting with Bubba, I decided to tie Zack's doorknob to the bathroom's doorknob. I really wanted to use some rope so it would not break, but I would have had to borrow it from Maintenance, and then there really would have been trouble if that broke. Instead, I took two old ties we had stored away in a closet in the Jr. High and tied them together.

So although it was not ideal, it was all in place. Eventually Bubba, Scott Dozier, and I were all outside Zack's office when we heard him try to open his door. My guess is he probably looked out and saw our Ties of Despair because when he opened it, he did not use your everyday "I think I'll open this door now" effort. As we ran off like a bunch of young girls to a Backstreet Boys concert, we heard the sound of something ripping. At the time, we were not sure if it was the ties or if the bathroom door was experiencing some stress, but it turned out to be the ties ripping in two. Maybe next time we will go all the way with the prank and get something that will not rip.

I still have not seen Zack post-prank, and maybe it is better that way. Though I can almost guarantee this will not be the last ghoulish scheme ever devised against the Zack Blair. Until then, if you have any ideas as to some pranks we can pull off on the ZB, let me know. I'm all ears.

See you this weekend!

Rev Service Review

2008-06-05T07:19:00.000-07:00

It's graduation time all over the country so we took a few moments to recognize our seniors in high school at Revolution as well as Vanessa Phillips who has interned for Rev for an entire year! We had an amazing group of seniors this year! In fact, when I first came to Revolution in 2003 (after I graduated high school), these guys were just starting out as 7th graders at Rev. So it was a very special time for me since I got to see all of them grow up in the youth group!

Last night we kicked off our series called "The One". We are taking the entire month of June to teach all about Jesus.

Zack Blair led worship for us! It was sweet!

Sean spoke and his message was called: "Who is Jesus" and he answered three basic questions about Jesus:

Who did Jesus claim to be?
Did Jesus ever sin?
What makes Jesus so different?

My favorite part was when Sean reminded us that we are called to be imitators of Christ and that our call really is to be just like Jesus. That is what "The One" is all about... learning all about Him so we can learn to be like him.

We had two students give their life to Christ! Whew!

After service we opened up the youth center for the Pens game. It was a good time even though we lost to the Red Wings 3-2. We'll get them next year...

We have a ton of awesome things coming up for Rev... I'm pretty pumped up about it! See you this weekend!

Rev Tonight

2008-06-04T12:09:00.000-07:00

So, I just looked over the service format for this evening, and it looks to be a jolly good time. Tonight it's the Sean Moore/Zack Blair show. I do enjoy it when Mr. Blair makes an appearance at the old Rev service. I have included (without his knowledge) a lovely picture from our photo shoot this afternoon of the one I know as smoore.

Go Pens Baby!!!

Did anyone else watch the Pens game last night? That was the sickest game I've ever seen in my life! I watched it with Sean and we we're going nuts when Talbot scored a goal with 34 seconds left in overtime! I thought Fleury was unbelievable! I am so pumped!

We'll be having a Pens party after a shortened Rev service on Wednesday! Game 6 in the Burgh... I think we can take it!

We will not be getting food, but if you'd like to bring a dish or some chips for people to snack on, that would be awesome!

Let's Go Pens!
