Revolution Church

Jay Baker gives a talk on the story of Jesus and Levi the tax collector, whom he reclaimed as Matthew the disciple. Jay focuses on Jesus' interest in making disciples out of the least likely people--often, folks who would consider each other to be enemies, like Jews who collected taxes for the Romans who occupied their streets, and the zealots who saw them as traitors to their people and culture.Jesus did not focus his time and efforts on those who thought that they were well already; he focused on the sick who were not so self-assured.Recorded on July 18, 2021, in Seattle, Washington.www.facebook.com/revolutionchurchmnwww.revolutionchurch.com/donatewww.youtube.com/revolutionbroadcasting@jaybakker@revolution1994@revolution94 Hosted on Acast.

The apple doesn't fall far as Jay Bakker interviews Reverend Steve Pieters, much as his mother did on PTL / Tammy's House Party 1985, thirty and a half decades ago. Reverend Pieters was the first openly-gay pastor who was also open about his affliction with the AIDS virus. Tammy Faye's supportive interview of Steve on that day molded history and bolstered support for queer folx in the modern Church.www.revolutionchurch,com/donatewww.facebook.com/revolutionchurchmn@revolutionchurch1994@revolutionchurch94@jaybakker@aspieters Hosted on Acast.

Jay delivers a message that is encouraging, challenging, comforting, and urgent--very much living up to the name "Revolution." By using the biblical account of "The Samaritan Woman at the Well," Jay highlights the beautiful truth that Jesus uses people. Period. Not good people. Not bad people. We are all human. We all fall short, AND are loved by God. Recorded in Seattle, Washington on Sunday, Juth 4th, 2021. Revolution is a group of grace and provocation, founded in 1994.www.youtube.com/revolutionbroadcastingwww.revolutionchurch.com/donatewww.facebook.com/revolutionchurchmn@jaybakker@revolution1994@revolutionchurch94@revolutioncaleb#disagreewell#arguewell#disorganizedreligion#unorganizedreligion Hosted on Acast.

Jay puts a spin on the familiar, often hurtful phrase, "love the sinner, but hate the sin," calling to court those who use and popularize this type of thinking.Recorded on Sunday, June 27th in Seattle, Washington.www.revolutionchurch.com/donationswww.facebook.com/revolutionchurchmnwww.youtube.com/revolutionbroadcasting@jaybakker@revolutionchurch94@revolutioncaleb Hosted on Acast.

Caleb gives a talk on the often-overlooked message of radically-unwavering grace, inclusion, and acceptance found in scripture. When we look beyond the church's supplementary expectations and requirements needed for receiving divine grace, we find a much more affirming and welcoming message of inclusion.Recorded on Sunday 20th, 2021 in Seattle, Washington.www.revolutionchurch.com/donatewww.facebook.com/revolutionchurchmn @revolutionchurch94@revolutioncaleb@jaybakkerRevolution is a community of grace and provocation founded in 1994, led by Jay Bakker.Caleb is the assistant pastor, producer, and engineer for Revolution.

Jay gives a talk on how we often mirror the negative characteristics that we despise in others, causing us to become that which we hate. It is easy to give power to those who we resent and reflect the traits which we have projected onto them. Instead, if we do wish to practice Christianity, it is essential that we love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.Jay and Caleb then respond to and interact with the online congregation watching the livestream, which can be seen Sundays at 11:00am PST at www.facebook.com/revolutionchurchmn!Recorded on Sunday, June 13th 2021 in Seattle, Washington.Revolution is a community of grace and provocation led by Jay Bakker, founded in 1994.Please help support Revolution by donating at www.revolutionchurch.com/donate@revolutionchurch94@jaybakker@revolutioncalebMusic by Andrew Bryant.@magnoliastateThis podcast is produced and edited by Assistant Pastor Caleb Rowe.
