SCRIPTURE: James 1:18-27; 5:14-16 08-16-2026 - Paul McGrew.m4a Revolution Church
SCRIPTURE: James 3:1-18 8.9.26 - The Meekness of Wisdom (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS SERMON HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: James 3:9-10 says, 'With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse people, made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth comes a blessing and a curse. My brothers and sisters, this ought not to be so!' Why do you think it's so easy for the same person to speak words of love and words of harm so close together? Think of a time your words hurt someone, even if that wasn't your intention. What did that
SCRIPTURE: James 2:1-13 & 5:1-6, Hebrews 13:2 8.2.26 - The Partiality Proble (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS MESSAGE HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Kenny used a story about baseball cards to explain how we often determine value: that something is only worth what someone will pay for it. How does that idea change the way you think about your own worth… knowing that Jesus paid for you with his life? Is there an area of your life where you still tend to measure your worth by comparing yourself to others (social media, work, relationships)? W
SCRIPTURE: James 1:1-15 & 2:14-18 7.26.26 - An Introduction to James (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO FIND KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS SERMON HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: The story of Gustave Whitehead illustrates that beliefs need to be tested—visibly!—in the real world. What do you think it means to 'test' your faith in everyday life, and why do you think so many people keep their faith private? Think about an area of your own life where your faith has stayed mostly 'private.' What would it look like to bring it into the open? What holds you back from doing that? Jame
SCRIPTURE: Exodus 32-33 & Deuteronomy 34 7.5.26 - The Mercy That Defines Us (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS MESSAGE HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: In this series, we have defined spiritual formation as a journey from being 'self-centered' to being 'other-centered.' What does that shift actually look like in everyday life, and what tends to get in the way of making that move? Where would you honestly place yourself on that spectrum right now—more self-centered or more other-centered—and what is one specific thing that keeps pulling you bac
SCRIPTURE: Exodus 15-18 6.28.26 - The Trust That Frees Us (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church DON’T LIKE LISTENING? YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS SERMON HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Providence is “the beneficent care of God”... not just rescuing us from bad situations, but leading us into good ones. Is this different from the way you typically think about God's “providence” in your life? In Exodus 16:4, God tells Moses He will rain bread from heaven… but the people are only supposed to gather enough for each day. What do you think God was trying to teach them through th
SCRIPTURE: Exodus 5-14 6.21.26 - The Struggles That Deliver Us (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS SERMON HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: The sermon describes three places people can feel 'stuck' in their faith journey: doubtful like Moses, exhausted like the Israelites, or disinterested like Pharaoh. Which of these three do you most relate to right now? Why do you think that is? What would it look like in your daily life to take one small step toward getting 'unstuck' from whichever of these three places you identified with? In Exodus 14:13-1
SCRIPTURE: Exodus 3-4 6.14.26 - The Purpose That Finds Us (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Moses didn't go looking for God at the burning bush: God showed up while Moses was just doing his job! What does this tell us about how God pursues us? Think about times in your life when you felt God's presence unexpectedly. How might staying open to God in your everyday routine - work, school, chores - change how you experience Him? When God tells Moses 'I AM who I AM' in Exodus 3:14, He reveals that His character never change
SCRIPTURE: Exodus 1-2 6.7.26 - The Soils That Shape Us (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS MESSAGE HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: The sermon begins by looking at Moses’s traumatic origins: he is raised among his people, but moves overnight into the house (and privilege!) of Egyptian royalty. How might this have shaped Moses’s sense of identity? How did this divided identity affect Moses's early attempts at heroism? When Moses kills the Egyptian overseer and “chooses his people,” those people don’t choose him back! What might this teach us abo
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 11 5.24.26 - Bearing the Burden You're Made For (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS MESSAGE HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Have you ever felt like your “job” in the world was to be “sufficiently angry about all the right things”? What led you to feel this way? How does this sort of outrage compare to the way Jesus lived and responded to injustices in his world? In Matthew 11:3-6, John the Baptist asks if Jesus is really the Messiah because Jesus wasn't acting like the warrior king everyone expected. What was Jesus's answer?
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 4:18-22 & 23:13, 1 Peter 5:6-7, Luke 22:42 5.10.26 - Holding On By Letting Go (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS SERMON HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Can you think of a time when your need to be right or in control prevented you from receiving help or wisdom from others? How did that affect your ability to handle the situation? 1 Peter 5:6-7 says, “Leave all your worries with Him, because He cares for you.” What's the difference between abandoning our worries and leaving them with God? What specific worry are you currentl
SCRIPTURE: Luke 4 5.3.26 - The Bread and Water of the Word (Paul McGrew) Revolution Church REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: What is your current relationship with the Bible? How has this relationship changed over the course of your spiritual journey? Paul focuses on the story of Jesus’s time in the wilderness and the comfort his knowledge of Scripture provides. What can you learn from this story? What might it reveal about how Scripture can help you in your own life? What do you think it takes to have the kind of relationship with Scripture that Jesus has? What are some of your fears or anxiet
SCRIPTURE: Psalm 42:1 & 51:10-12; Matthew 6:9-10 & 26:36-39; 1 Timothy 2:1-4 4.26.26 - The Humble Pursuit of Holy Company (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS MESSAGE HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Are you struggling right now to “hang in there”? In what area(s) of your life is this question most urgent? Is there someone in your life you can talk with about this struggle this week? The sermon describes two different models of prayer: charismatic (seeking an experience in God's presence) and prophetic (asking God to bring His Kingdom to earth).
SCRIPTURE: Psalm 51 4.19.26 - Truth, Justice, "Schadenfreude," and Mercy (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS MESSAGE HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Kenny defines schadenfreude as “the joy we feel at someone else’s misfortune.” Have you ever felt this? Why do you think this feeling comes so naturally to us? How do you feel when you read that God “loves mercy”? In Psalm 51:6, David writes that God “desires truth in the inward being.” What do you think it means to look for this kind of truth? If you were to try this… what might you find in yours
SCRIPTURE: John 13:37-38 & 21:15-19, Matthew 26:69-75, Luke 24:1-12, 1 Peter 1:9 4.5.26 - Companions Beyond Time, Beyond Death (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS MESSAGE HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: The sermon describes how even Peter, who walked closely with Jesus for three years, still denied him three times when things got tough. What does this story teach us about the reality of human friendship and our need for something beyond just good intentions? Think about a relationship in your life where you've disappointed someone or been disa
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 25:34-40, Luke 10:38-42, & Mark 10:17-27 3.29.26 - The Hospitality and Curiosity of Sacred Companions (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS SERMON HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: In Matthew 25:34-40, Jesus describes how caring for 'the least of these' is actually caring for Him. How does this passage challenge our understanding of what true hospitality looks like? Think about a time when you showed hospitality to someone who was difficult to welcome. How did that experience change your perspective on what it means to see Chris
SCRIPTURE: 1 Thessalonians 4:9-10, Galatians 6:2, & Matthew 26:26-29 3.22.26 - Our Need for "Sacred Companions" (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS SERMON HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Do church relationships/friendships seem strangely “brittle” at times? Why might this be? What needs to change in how we approach friendships in the church in order to make them more resilient? Kenny shared two stories about church relationships: one lacking commitment but trying to force formation, and another with strong commitment but missing spiritual form
SCRIPTURE: Psalm 23 3.15.26 - Company in the Valley (Paul McGrew) Revolution Church REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Have you been reading through the Psalms with us so far? What have your experiences with these verses been like? Read Psalm 23 again: what stands out to you here? What claims is the psalmist making about God and/or God’s character? What questions does the psalmist seem to be wrestling with? Have you ever felt like you’re in “the valley of the shadow of death”? What happened in that experience? What helped you to move through it? Paul helpfully (and bluntly!) reminds us that beli
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:31-47 3.8.26 - The Purpose (and the Possibility!) Behind the Rule (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS SERMON HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: What rules or commandments have felt challenging to you, and how might understanding their deeper purpose change your perspective on following them? Where in your life might you be using 'extra guarantees' because your basic word hasn't been trustworthy? How does Jesus's teaching about loving enemies and going the second mile (Matthew 5:40-42, 44-47) reveal God's ultimate purpose for
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:17-28, John 3:1-3 3.1.26 - The Wild, Gracious Gift of Starting Over (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS SERMON HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: How do you feel when you read what Jesus says it will take to “enter the Kingdom of Heaven”? Kenny talks about how trying to be better or fixing our flaws is like trying to perfectly sand a wall: why isn't “trying harder” enough to meet God's standard of righteousness? In what areas of your life have you been trying to “sand down the rough edges” rather than allowing God to help you
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:13-16 2.22.26 - Truth, Salt, and Light (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS SERMON HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: In Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus calls his followers 'salt of the earth' and 'light of the world.' How might these metaphors relate to our purpose as Christians in today's world? The sermon suggests that formation is not about becoming someone different, but rather about revealing who we truly are. How does this perspective challenge your understanding of spiritual growth? What 'baskets' might be hiding your true iden

SCRIPTURE: Psalm 1 2.8.26 - Reading the Psalms, Searching for Hope (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS SERMON HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: Have you ever read through the book of Psalms before? What have your past experiences with these verses been like? Kenny described the psalms as “emotionally earnest.” How might this characteristic help you connect with them? What does it suggest about the Bible that poems like these are included? What emotions have you experienced in your own spiritual journey that you've been hesitant to express to God
SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 1-4 2.1.26 - A Marriage of the Mystical and Practical (Kenny Camacho) Revolution Church YOU CAN ALSO READ KENNY’S MANUSCRIPT FOR THIS SERMON HERE! REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: The sermon describes two key components of spiritual formation: the mystical experience of God and practical obedience. Which of these do you find more challenging? Why? In Ephesians 2:1-10, Paul describes Christians as being “created in Christ Jesus for good works.” How might this perspective change the way we think about doing good things for others? The sermon compares maintaining our relation
