Relationships in Full Light
Well if you love it or hate it Twilight new movie is coming out on the 20th of this month!
And at the REVOLT we are looking at how these books and movies are an interpretation of what we view as relationships!
We have looked at how we all have feelings and those are those things that you cannot change, they come naturally. If you like someone then you have butterflies and sweaty hands, if you get embarrassed your face turns red, if you get angry your blood starts to boil. But what happens after those feelings. That is When we experience emotions. Do you let your emotions take over! or do you look at your feelings with a rational eye and understand what is going on!
In the same light we look at God the same way. For some we rely on feelings to dictate our emotions, Which dictate our actions to God. For some we say we have not felt God in a long time or that the feeling of his presence is gone!
there was a prophet in the Old Testament that was experiencing the same thing, He had "felt" God for some time then he felt abandoned by God.
and some times we look for the big events to tell us that God is there, but God is bigger than those big moments and if we rely on only those we will miss the true presence of God
1 Kings 19:11-12 (New International Version)
11 The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by."
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.
so in this we have to Guard our hearts, and not to be take over by our feelings that take over our emotions, which take over our actions!

what is it as a Christ follower are we called to be?
Even if you are not a believer you have to agree that this group of people are suppose to be called to even more.
this last week we looked at a believer is called to care!
but to who?
it seems hard because there are those people that we know that we need to care about but why?
Jesus talked about this in the story of the good Samaritan.
Luke 10:25-37
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
26"What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"
27He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'a]">[a]; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'b]">[b]"
28"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."
29But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"
30In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him. 35The next day he took out two silver coinsc]">[c] and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'
36"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"
37The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."
Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."
It seems that we are always able to make excuses of why not to help
the religious people could have had a good excuse to walk the other way but the one man that did not fall into that excuse but there were consequences...
care it inconvenient!
the Samaritan did not plan on helping someone that day but it came up!
care it costs!
he had to pay for the man to get better
but care changes lives!
the reason that we care is on because we have to but because Jesus loved us first!
“To this you were called, because Chris suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in his steps.” 1 Peter 2:21

Join the REVOLT
Join the REVOLT!
Hello friends,
Well we are in for some fun and some adventure. We are starting this school year off with changing our name from the Highway, to the REVOLT!
some may be asking why?
well stop!!!
The real reason that we are changing our name to the REVOLT is we want a name that conveys our vision, and here at the Vineyard Church of the Rockies, we don't want just a youth group, but a movement!
our vision is to stand up to this generations status quo by becoming revolutionary believers for Christ!
We want to revolt against all the lies that this generation is hearing. and we want to Join in the Revolution that Jesus started.
Jesus started this revolt, we see it when he read from Isaiah in Luke Chapter 4
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released,
that the blind will see,that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come."
So I want to call all of you to this REVOLT, when we Join together we can change the world around us!
