Attack in 2012!

January 10, 2012 in Goals, GOD, Life Change with Comments Off

goal1A friend of mine, The Fat Trail Runner, said some encouraging things about me a while back that got me to thinking. How do people have some serious drive in life to accomplish goals? Why do so many people say they’re going to do something, then they drop out after a week?

Here is what I came up with: goals are nothing more than words. And a LOT of people set goals. I mean, anyone can SET a goal.

Accomplished goals, however, are a process…a set of steps. When I decide to accomplish something this is how I attack it. Maybe it will help you:

SET A GOAL: Establish a big hairy audacious goal.

LEARN: Be humble. Find people who have accomplished the same or similar goals and be willing to learn from them. Know-it-alls don’t accomplish anything. You need to learn all that you can about your goal to succeed.

PLAN: Plan out all incremental steps that it will take for you to accomplish your BHAG.

UNDERSTAND: Know what you are getting in to. Research it. Heed the warnings from the experts, but don’t dwell on negative info.

VISUALIZE: Hammer your plan into your brain repeatedly. You should know it like the back of your hand.

SACRIFICE: There aren’t any goals in life that don’t require you to make a sacrifice. Decide if you are willing to sacrifice to accomplish your goal. If you’re not, then don’t even start.

RALLY: Get some troops around you that will encourage you. Keep away from negative people.

PARTY: When you reach your goal, celebrate!

The Gift

December 14, 2011 in Confessional, Goals, GOD, Revolution Church with Comments Off

I have been praying for 32 days now about The Gift, our special Christmas offering that we are BRANGIN’ this Sunday, December 18th.

If you have not heard about The Gift yet, you can click here to read full details and even download a PDF with additional information. Many people have already given to this initiative. I LOVE how God is BLOWING IT UP at REVOLUTION CHURCH!

Here on the blog, I wanted to share my heart with you.

The Gift isn’t about warm fuzzy feelings. Its not about our church having nicer things or extra cash. Its not about more worship space or even planting new churches.

The Gift is all about JESUS. Its about our mission to Love God, Love People and Start a Spiritual Revolution in one life at a time all over the world!

At Revolution Church we are passionate about the Gospel, and while there are lots of great causes (especially at Christmas time), we make no bones about our belief that the local church is of the utmost importance. The local church is where spiritual revolutions start and eternities are changed. Its the only place you can make an investment that will last forever.

So why would we have a special offering and call it The Gift? Why would we set a goal of $30,000 and end 2011 with a bang of generosity?

Because it revolutionizes our lives and the lives of people around us when we jump out in faith and go for it!

Our hearts and money are connected. Jesus said that whatever we choose to treasure will also be where our heart is. Read Matthew 6:21. Give big to The Gift this Sunday, Revolution Church.

In preparation, I challenge you to read through 2 Corinthians 9 this week.
Pray and Ask God, “What would you have me give this Sunday?”

And then GO FOR IT. And remember: When God speaks, He always challenges you because He knows who you really are and that you are better than you think you are.

When you do this, God will grow your faith. Your vision gets stretched and you grow spiritually!

If you won’t be around this Sunday don’t worry. You can give online now by clicking here or you can give to The Gift anytime before December 31st at midnight.

Don’t forget to bring your envelope for The Gift this Sunday, December 18th (we will have plenty extra if you do) and I’ll see ya then!

The Competition

October 25, 2011 in GOD, Life Change, Revolution Church with Comments Off

Last week a pastor friend of mine made a comment that really bothered me. He said something to the effect of “well I bet your church is better than theirs” as we talked about a great church that I admire in the area.

Listen: We absolutely, unapologetically ARE in a serious, nasty competition.

…but not with other churches.

Sometimes people make the assumption that the reason why Revolution Church is so aggressive with advertising, music, creativity, etc is because we are trying to compete against other churches to get church people to come to ours.

Let me set the record straight.  We are not competing against any other church. In fact, I wish people that attend another church would just stay committed at their own church and never walk into the doors of Revolution. Why would I want to offer food to those who are already being fed?

Revolution Church exists to reach people who are far from God. Statistics show us that within a ten mile radius of our new location, over 65,000 people do not attend a church.

Everything we do is to be more interesting than hollywood, more loving than the bar, more exciting than the strip club and more appealing than getting high on Saturday night.

Our competition is hell itself.  When people in our area find more value in the junk that the world has to offer than they do in Christ –HELL WINS.

If we can get people to attend the worship experience and show them the love, the weight, the value of Jesus and how his supernatural power can change their life –GOD WINS!

At Revolution, its not about our church vs. any other church. Its Revolution Church vs. HELL. That’s why we do anything we can to win the fight one weekend at a time.

Revolution, this Sunday we are kicking off a new series called Scarecrow. Bring a friend and I’ll see you at 8:30, 10:00 or 11:30am. BE A BRINGER!!!
