This week, Pastor Zak shared Part 5 of the “My Church” series to help us re-center our hearts on the mission and values of Revolution Church. This message focused on the defining distinctive that we are a church of authentic, honest, life-changing relationships. God never intended for us to walk through life alone, and He’s given all of us the desire and need for meaningful relationships. At Revolution Church, we foster these relationships in Small Groups. Small Groups give us the opportunity to go deeper in our relationships, to be honest, to identify our blind spots, and to realize our God-given potential. It is in this kind of godly, relational environment that we can experience real life change and real healing.

Start Sharing
Choose a question to create openness.
• How have previous relationships impacted the way you approach new relationships? What steps can you take to pursue healthy relationships, regardless of what you’ve experienced in the past?
• Hebrews 3:12-13 says, “See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘Today,’ so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.” What are some examples of ways you have been encouraged through godly relationships? How can we intentionally encourage one another “today?”
• What steps do you need to take to grow in your potential?

Start Praying
Be bold and pray with power.
• Father, thank You for creating us to be in relationship with You and with each other. Give us courage to pursue authentic, honest relationships. Lead us to Small Groups where we will find lifelong friendships that push us towards You. And help us see ourselves the way You see us and walk fully in the potential You’ve given us. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen!
