A Chronology of Change

•

Today’s talk is a bit different, but also very much in line with Revolution. We’ve often heard Jay talk about Martin Luther King Jr, and the influence he had in his life—in that same vein, today we are going to look at Malcom X, another hero of Jay’s. We know that idea might be strange to some, and alarming to others, especially because today Jay is talking specifically Malcom X’s pilgrimage to Mecca. The reason Jay is focusing on this aspect of his life is because some really beautiful things and revelations happened for Malcom X on this voyage. It had a profound effect on him, which later had a profound effect on Jay. This specific example from Malcom X’s life shows the true strength of grace, kindness, and generosity; the seeds they plant and the fruit they produce. Today Jay talks about love without agenda, and how judging, devouring, and dancing on each other’s graves only yields misery and bitterness. And a lot of the time bitterness and giving up are more contagious than love and compassion on. Bitterness spreads like wildfire! Today, through Malcom X’s words and teachings, Jay discusses the Narrow Path, and what it means. Have we had it backwards this whole time? We really think you’ll enjoy this talk. God can use absolutely anyone to teach us anything Malcom X is no exception. This talk says a lot about the capacity for change, and the incredible blessing that it can be.


This talk was given on December 1, 2024 from Seattle, Washington.

  • Human Dignity

    01:06:35|
    It's important to remind ourselves that dignity matters. Scapegoating and vilifying others doesn't lead to a conversation and continues to divide us. If we love our enemies, as the Bible talks about in Matthew 5:43, we're forced to reconcile the cruelty that others are being shown and decide to do better. We hope that you are able to see others as our community this week and love each other. Peace and Love. revolutionchurch.cominstagram.com/revolutionchurch94x.com/Revolution_1994www.youtube.com/@RevolutionBroadcastinghttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7FXFBB8PSWEEC&source=url

  • A Follower's Perspective

    52:15|
    What happens to the way we view society when we limit our perspective to being a follower of Jesus' teachings? Jay covers what is has meant to "put God first" and how that is radically different than the way that we might have learned. We hope that you are able to have good conversations with each other this week and find ways to love each other.revolutionchurch.cominstagram.com/revolutionchurch94x.com/Revolution_1994www.youtube.com/@RevolutionBroadcastinghttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7FXFBB8PSWEEC&source=url

  • It's Time For a Reformation.

    01:07:15|
    Seeing ugliness.Making a shift. The time for a reformation is now. "And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good" - John Steinbeck"And you don't have to expect others to be perfect either" - Jay BakkerIt's never too late. revolutionchurch.cominstagram.com/revolutionchurch94x.com/Revolution_1994www.youtube.com/@RevolutionBroadcastinghttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7FXFBB8PSWEEC&source=url

  • For the Least of These

    33:40|
    Straight from Matthew 25 today. It's too easy to push back on helping others and trying who decides who "deserves" it. The "Least of These" are all of us. It's everyone. Hope everyone has a great week. Love you all.revolutionchurch.cominstagram.com/revolutionchurch94x.com/Revolution_1994www.youtube.com/@RevolutionBroadcastinghttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7FXFBB8PSWEEC&source=url

  • Galatians 2025: Part 10 - The Finale

    01:06:20|
    Galatians 2025: Part 10 - THE FINÁLEHow do you inherit "the Kingdom of God"? What even IS "the Kingdom of God"? What are the things that keep us from grace or allow us to live a full life of showing grace to others? Paul clearly describes characteristics for us to follow in order for people to know that we're following the example and teachings of Jesus. He also encourages RESTORATION! Who would have thought that he'd encourage us to promote building relationships and openness to the fact that people can change! You are loved and please help each other this week. revolutionchurch.cominstagram.com/revolutionchurch94x.com/Revolution_1994www.youtube.com/@RevolutionBroadcastinghttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7FXFBB8PSWEEC&source=url

  • Galatians 2025: Part 9 - Instead of Loving One Another

    44:00|
    "I wish they would castrate themselves". Paul speaks about the contradictions that come together in grace in extreme terms! When we lack compassion, it's even more difficult to com to a place where we can show grace to others. "Justice has to have a bit of love in it, or it becomes cruelty". This is a great talk from Galatians 15 that includes one of the most important reminders "you shall love your neighbor as yourself". Hope you all have a great week. You are loved. revolutionchurch.cominstagram.com/revolutionchurch94x.com/Revolution_1994www.youtube.com/@RevolutionBroadcastinghttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7FXFBB8PSWEEC&source=url

  • Galatians 2025: Part 8 - Love or Circumcision

    56:29|
    Some people think that grace and faith and forgiveness isn't enough. Paul warns about rebuilding the old laws and putting limitations on receiving these gifts. These "sacred cows" are a waste when we're looking for freedom. Hope you enjoy the latest edition of the Galatians series.

  • Why Revolution? (Brian Yarbrough)

    35:57|
    Why Revolution? I'll tell you why! I was fortunate enough to sit in for Jay, tell a little bit of my story and explain why I choose to support Revolution. We'd love to hear your stories of why you choose to support Revolution and how it has impacted your life over the years. This is a beautiful community and we appreciate all of your support. revolutionchurch.cominstagram.com/revolutionchurch94x.com/Revolution_1994www.youtube.com/@RevolutionBroadcastinghttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7FXFBB8PSWEEC&source=url

  • Love and Grace Is a Broken Record.

    01:06:55|
    It might feel like a broken record but Love and Grace are at the core of where Revolution comes from. The risk is that we think that we hear the message and don't need any reminders. A lot of times it takes seeing the need ourselves in order to take action. It's the 3rd week reading Galatians 3:28 (hence the broken record) but there was more to explore. Even when we feel like we're divided, we don't have to let our identity (politics, "jew or gentile") allow us to forget that we are ALL ONE.
