Question 1

What is the most important revelation?

Accepted Answer

While God may reveal himself in many ways during the twists and turns of our journey, we believe the most important revelation comes when God’s light first breaks upon us and we glimpse who he is for the first time. Just as the early earth was in chaos and underwater, and God said, “Let there be light,” we too were groping in the dark chaos, spiritually drowning in deep waters until the light of God’s life broke across our vision for the first time. Until then we were unaware of the darkness of sin that surrounds us.

While in this darkness, God calls out to us, revealing himself as the Holy One who makes the pathway out of the darkness.

Question 2

What does "revelationship" mean?

Accepted Answer

Revelationship is the combination of two words: revelation and relationship. It refers to the revelation necessary for relationship. While it's technically not a real word (you won't find it in Merriam-Webster's Dictionary), it can be found in the Urban Dictionary defined as "A relationship in which each involved party acquires increasing knowledge through every interaction with one another." We define it as:

(Noun) How God reveals himself to us as he pursues us for relationship.
(Noun) The pathway to an intimate relationship with the God who created you. (Verb) Receiving from God all he pours out, then turning it back to him in worship.

We believe that revelationship is the heart of God, the mission of the Son, and the work of the Holy Spirit.

Question 3

What has been the most impactful revelation to you, personally?

Accepted Answer

(From Cathy) The revelation of the omni-presence of God. Since God is present in the past and the present and the future, all at the same time, filling all of time for all time, I have nothing to fear. He is still laying the foundations of the earth, still present with me, and already present in the future where he has already won the victory.

Question 4

What is one of the revelations that you like to think about most?

Accepted Answer

(From Cathy) El Shaddai, the Promiser of Promises, fulfilled. Our Bible translates this name to mean “Almighty” but the meaning is more full than this. It means something like “Out of my mountain of abundance, I am your sufficiency.” Or all-sufficient one. And there is nothing “measly” or “just enough” about this incredible name God uses to introduce his covenant to Abraham.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Embrace the Journey

Lent isn’t about earning grace. It’s about making space to connect with God himself.
