Tattooed Priests Teaching Series – Winter 2012
Tattooed Priests Week # 1
Holy Barbecues. We make sacrifices everyday. In the ancient world, sacrifice was a way of life. God has an entirely different idea of sacrifice: once the sacrifice is made, it’s over.
Tattooed Priests Week # 2
Big Curtains + Naked Priests. One day each year, one man in all of Israel went behind the curtain to be in God’s presence – to be in the most holy place on earth and bring the inner holy presence of God, outward to the normal and ordinary places and people. This was the practice year after year until a new high priest came and changed everything…
Tattooed Priests Week # 3
Worship. Before the ordination of the priests, they came to worship before God at the temple. What is your worship like? How do you worship? What needs to change in the way you worship? Worship Pastor Darrell Pittman teaches on worship today.
Tattooed Priests Week # 4
Tattooed Priests. In the ancient world, one could spot an Egyptian Priest from a mile away – they had tattoos all over their bodies. God’s call to us is to be a Kingdom of Priests and a holy nation. Everyone is a priest, and everyone is meant to create space in their lives and help create space in the lives of others for God. How well do your “tattoos” reveal the presence of God to those around you?
Tattooed Priests Week # 5
Whitewashed Tombs. That’s what Jesus later called them. People who have all the boxes checked on the list but the wrong kind of heart. There are two halves of the same life: the way to life through Jesus and the way of life in Jesus. The question is this: who do you follow – a list or Jesus?
Tattooed Priests Week # 6
The God of the Party. In Leviticus 23, there is an ongoing command: stop, rest, party, repeat. It happens weekly and at the three major feasts. Maybe there’s something here for us in our busy fast-paced lives today…are we batteries to be consumed and thrown away, or people, beloved and redeemed by God from the slavery of the human system?
Tattooed Priests Week # 7
Jubilee Part One: Politics + Economics. Faith and politics. The two subjects raise lots of eyebrows, suspicions, and challenges during election years. What is a priest to do with politics? How do we engage? Do we disengage? Politics tells us much about who is in charge and Israel had an entirely different way of doing life when it came to politics and economics…
Twenty-Five Twenty-Two Teaching Series – Christmas 2011
2,522 Week #1
A promise to a priest. That’s where the whole story begins. Zechariah and Elizabeth were upright and blameless before God. After six months of preparation for one day of service in the temple, Zechariah is visited by a messenger of God. What happens is shocking…
2,522 Week # 2
The promise to a poor girl from Nazareth. That’s where the story gets better. The angel of God comes to Nazareth (Nazareth!?!) of all places and God puts the future of the universe in the hands of a 13 or 14 year old girl. Perhaps this says something about the nature of God’s promises…
2,522 Week #3
Pete Marra Teaching Today
What are you faithful for? There are lots of things that we can be faithful to or for, but what Mary and Elizabeth show us in Luke’s account of God’s promises to us goes way beyond…
2,522 Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve. It all starts with a scandal of a young girl and her to-be-husband who will be having a baby. Then no room at the inn. But where’s the real scandal in Christmas Eve?
Re-Enlist Teaching Series – November 2011
Re-Enlist Week #1
Vision. To know where you’re going, you’ve got to know where you’ve been. This week’s teaching looks to the past, present, and future, and considers the vision for the coming year at Revolution Church.
Re-Enlist Week #2
Re-Enlist. Heaven is about three things: worship, a community, and a community meal. Everything we do now is preparation for then. How are you using your time, talents, and gifts now to mirror what will one day be? Joni Way teaching today.
Re-Enlist Week #3
Clay. Part of the re-enlist process is being moldable in the hands of God. Do you put yourself in God’s hands? Are you pliable? Pete Marra teaching today.
Relevant Teaching Series – October 2011
Relevant Week #1
John 14:1-14. Trinity. There’s an easy word. You don’t find it in the Bible and yet this is the way that we understand God – Father, Son, Holy Spirit. How is one to begin understanding this? How do Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work in the world? What is God doing with us? For us? In us? We come to see a Divine Family inviting us in to the divine life…
Relevant Week #2
John 1:1-5, 14. In the beginning was the Word. This is a pretty powerful statement John made about Jesus. In the ancient world, the Greeks believed there was a “cosmic glue” that held everything together. John lets the world know that this glue is none other than Jesus…
Relevant Week #3
Ezekiel 37:1-14. Alive or living? There’s a difference. Ezekiel came across dry bones in a valley and God made them live. The Holy Spirit has been working from the time of creation, breathing new life into humanity, filling the prophets, priests, and kings of old, and the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead comes to us and gives us life. Are you settling for being alive…or are you truly living?
Relevant Week #4
Luke 15:11-32. Fathers. Some experiences of our earthly father are better than others. Some have been joyous. Some painful. In one of the most well recognized passages of Scripture we gain an understanding that our heavenly Father is unlike any other father we’ve ever known.
Relevant Week #5
Romans 2, 5, 12. Grace. It’s a tough word for today’s world. It’s so much easier to earn it, buy it, possess it, barter or trade for it. But grace isn’t about what we do or what we earn. It’s about what God has given – freely. God reveals himself to us. God responds to our needs so we can respond to God. And then God renews us. Grace. Not a moment of our lives goes untouched by the grace of God. It’s really that great.
Relevant Week #6
Ephesians 2:1-10. Kingdom + Resurrection. Near or Far? That’s an important concept we learn from the time we are little kids watching Sesame Street on television. It’s also important to our understanding of God. Is God near or far?
Rubble Teaching Series – September 2011
Rubble Week # 1 – Why?
Habakkuk 1:1-11. When evil and suffering happen to us our key question is this: why? Why did this happen? Habakkuk teaches us that the questions can draw us closer to God so that we behold him in the midst of the pain we feel.
Be the Revolution Send Out This Week: Brian Ebel
Rubble Week # 2 – What?!?
Habakkuk 1:12-2:5. When we watch evil, challenge, struggles, and suffering unfold before our eyes, the key question for God becomes this: what are you doing?!? Habakkuk teaches us that beyond the questions of trying to understand what is happening there is an opportunity to wait upon God and embrace him in the midst of the pain we feel.
Rubble Week # 3 – Worship!
Habakkuk 3:1-19. After asking why and beholding God, asking what!?! and waiting upon God to embrace him, there is in the midst of our waiting a new question…when? Habakkuk teaches us that when is the question of spiritual maturity – a question of deep trust and the recognition that God is at work. In the midst of when, we have the opportunity to worship the God who is bringing evil, suffering, and pain to an end…
Regulate Teaching Series – August/September 2011
Regulate Week # 4 – Sex + Intimacy
