Root Problems

•

The world is kind of screwy and we’re gonna head there a bit today. The bulk of Jay’s talk today explores some passages in 1 John. Because, besides all of the confusion and anxiety of life these days with politics and hate and fear and war—Jay is adding moving to a new apartment on top of all of that! And in the end, it seems despite our effort and drive to power through, life still seems pointless more often than not. And because of that apathy sneaks its way in more than we’d ever care for it. Today Jay’s real question is “What are we doing to get through this everyday?” That’s why a focus on 1 John today is really helpful. Because it talks a lot of how true love casts out fear and it casts out hate. We learn that to truly love God, we can’t hate our neighbor. It just doesn’t work. So when we’re all in a bit of darkness and we’re all struggling…and our leaders have become so petty and pathetic with each other, things just do not feel safe. It all feels so dark and overwhelming. But if we all help each other, lean on each other, love each other. Then that lets a lot of light into our really dark world.


This talk was given on May 21, 2023 from Seattle, WA.

  • God or ?

    01:00:43|
    Ever found yourself at the mercy of a car repair bill? I was too... until I learned something powerful. Tag someone who needs to hear this! Last week, my car's engine light turned on, and I was quoted $5,000 for repairs. 😳 But instead of panic, I reached out for help in my community. With the right resources and some guidance, I managed to fix it for just $300! It's incredible how necessity pushes us to learn new skills. I never thought I’d be doing mechanic work, but here I am! The best part? We’re all in this together. Community isn’t just local; it’s global. When we share knowledge, we empower each other. What skills have you learned from necessity? Let's keep this conversation going! revolutionchurch.cominstagram.com/revolutionchurch94x.com/Revolution_199www.youtube.com/@RevolutionBroadcastinghttps://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7FXFBB8PSWEEC&source=url#CommunitySupport #DIYMechanics #LearningTogether #Gratitude #CarRepair

Here's what I learned:🚗 Tag someone who needs to hear this!Life threw me a curveball when my car went into limp mode right after my kids returned from a great trip to the Grand Canyon. With a check engine light flashing and a hefty repair estimate looming, panic set in. But here's the twist: I reached out for help and got connected with a mechanic who guided me to fix it for just $300 instead! This experience taught me the importance of community support and resourcefulness. Instead of spiraling into debt, I took control and learned something new—how to fix my car. Life isn't always easy, but it’s all about finding solutions and leaning on each other. Have you ever faced a financial scare? What did you do?
