Lent | Insiders/Outsiders Part 2: The Woman At The Well

The woman at the well was a powerless religious outsider who, in her questions and longings, met God where she least expected Him to show up. Like Nicodemus in the chapter before, she must unlearn and relearn everything she thought she knew in light of Jesus. (John 4:5-42)

Lent | Insiders/Outsiders Part 1: Nicodemus

One was a powerful, Jewish insider meeting Jesus in the middle of the night. The other a powerless, Samaritan outsider meeting Jesus in the heat of the day. Both encounter Jesus, and in the process, help us answer a foundational question for both insiders and outsiders: what does it mean to be saved? (John 3:1-17)

Lent | Recovering Our Hunger

Lent is about naming and releasing that which makes us too full to be hungry for God. Like Jesus, the Spirit is leading us into a place of vulnerability and need - because that's where we learn to trust. 

Epiphany | Jesus After Disillusionment

Six days after a moment of profound failure and disillusion, Peter sees Jesus in radiant glory. In the same way, grace meets us in our disillusionment and disappointment, helping us to see the same Jesus with new eyes. (Matthew 17:1-9)

Epiphany | Building People, Not Platforms

What does it mean for a Church to grow? (1 Cor. 3:1-9)

Ephiphany | Salt, Light, And Not Being ”THAT Christian.”

Our faith may draw attention, but it should never demand it. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus reminds us of our calling in the world around us - we preserve, enhance, reveal, and light the way forwards in the darkness. (Matthew 5:13-17)

6 Years Together | Finding Community

Today, we heard about our vision for community at Restoration - and heard from two of our own about opportunities for connection and growth. (Colossians 2:12-14)

6 Years Together | A Church For The Sake Of Others

As we celebrate our 6th anniversary together, we look at what it means to leverage our faith for the sake of others. (Luke 5:27-26)

6 Years Together | Welcoming Like Jesus

Over the next three weeks, we're casting vision for the future we'll share together as a Church family. This week, we talk about what it means to be welcoming like Jesus. (Luke 15:1-7)

Epiphany | Nothing To Earn And Nothing To Prove

At Jesus' baptism, we see the nature of the love of the Father for us - offered to us freely - where we have nothing to earn and nothing to prove.
