One World's Trash = Another World's Treasure

December 3 -24

Revolution welcomes you to a series of discussions revealing the dirty truth about Jesus' family tree. Come hear the saucy stories of Jesus' biblical ancestors, and discuss with us how these stories might point to a deeper theological truth: that God can take any of us, and all of our baggage, and do something miraculous. This is the story behind the Christmas story.

December 3 - "Tamar: The Lying Whore"

December 10- "David: The Manipulative Backstabber"

December 17- "Mary: The Unwed Mother"

December 24- "Jesus: The Illegitimate Child"

The Jesus Party: Why God's Not a Republican (or a Democrat)

october 29 & Nov 5

"Among politicians the esteem of religion is profitable; the principles of it are troublesome." BENJAMIN WHICHCOTE

All politicians want Jesus on their side. Republicans champion themselves as God's right-hand men because of their pro-life, anti-gay rights platform. Democrats counter with pacifism and charity for the poor. Come to Revolution during this 2-week series to see and hear why, if God happened to be an American voter, (s)he'd probably be a registered Independent.

"The African Saga: What Happened Then, What's Happening Now, and What Must Happen Soon"

oct. 1, 8, 15

"When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land." - Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Her history is darkened by corruption and colonialism. Blood, famine,and disease scar her present. And her future is shrouded with uncertainty and cautious optimism. Africa is a land of sorrows, but also a land of hope. At this point in history the developed world is faced with an awesome opportunity to reshape the future of an entire continent.

Letting go forgiving lovers friends and enemies

september 3, 10, 17

Forgiveness...the guiding principle of ancient civilizations. The foundation of many faiths. The heart of Jesus' revolutionary teachings. But is it becoming a thing of the past? We watch our backs. We hold grudges. We get angry with people who hurt us...and we stay that way for a long time. At Revolution we wonder if, in all our grudge-holding and heart-hardening, we are forsaking one of life's most basic truths- that in forgiveness there is power to heal and mend all wounds?

Whole in One: The Potential of Holistic Faith

January 7-28

Faith. We've often thought of it as a matter of the soul. It has to do with what we believe, with where we go to church, and with our relationship to God. But could our faith also encompass our minds, our hearts, even our bodies?

Jesus said the most important commandment is that we love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. At Revolution, we believe this to mean that the path of Christ is one that includes every facet of our lives. Please join us for this series of discussions as we seek to uncover the potential of holistic faith

January 7- Mind

January 14- Heart

January 21- Strength

January 28- Soul

Peace: The Provocative Act of Making Love

February 11-18

Every kind of relationship faces moments of conflict. Marriages break down for lack of forgiveness. Friendships collapse for lack of communication. Family bonds disintegrate for lack of understanding. The question is this: how can we address the conflicts in our own relationships in ways that strengthen our connections, instead of destroy them?

Join us at Revolution on February 11 & 18 for a series of discussions about conflict in relationships. WeÕll learn about employing ancient peace-making techniques in our marriages, romantic relationships, friendships, and family connections.

The Jesus Manifesto: Beyond Christianity to Rediscover the Christ

March 11-25

In so many ways, Christianity has strayed terribly far from the original words, teachings, and intentions of Jesus. Sometimes it's not even clear whether Jesus himself would make a 'good Christian' in the 21st Century. With this series, we'll dig through the societal and religious norms of the 21st Century Church in America, and we'll explore the revolutionary teachings and actions of Jesus - teachings and actions that you don't hear every day in church!

Succe$s: Livin' It Up, Jesus Style
Family Values: Blowin' Up the Nuclear

The Big Oil Drill

April 29

The oil can is mightier than the sword- Everett Dirksen, 1954

By now, everyone knows that the big oil companies rake in enormous, record-breaking profits while the price of gas reaches all-time highs in America and around the globe. Most people are also aware of the damaging ecological impact of the oil industry, and that half the world's major conflicts involve oil. Some people even believe that Big Oil has a stranglehold on the governments of the world including our own.

But what are these facts really telling us about Big Oil about our government and economy and about ourselves? Please join us as we discuss this topic from a Christ-like perspective.
