Restoration Church

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. 

For The Joy | Tears Are The Seeds

We were unable to gather as a whole Church family in person, but in this podcast, Justin shares some encouragement about cultivating joy as we move into the New Year together! (Psalm 126)

Christmas | Restore To Me The Joy

We remind ourselves at Christmas that we have a future that is powerful enough to sustain us in the present - and that even when the darkness seems too much to bear, joy comes in the morning. 

Advent | God In The Mess Of It All

We have learned to look for God in the sanitized and extraordinary when, all along, he’s arriving in the messy and the ordinary. (Matthew 1:18-28)

Advent | The Space Between Suffering And Hope

Advent is about the world we're waiting for... and the longings we feel. Today, we're called to patience in suffering, but not from a God who stands at a safe distance, but a God who suffers with us and for us. (James 5:7-10)

Advent | Judgment, Justice, And Hope

The promise of the coming Messiah speaks to one who judges. As modern, Westerners, the judgment of God typically makes us uncomfortable. But to the original audience of Isaiah's words, judgment meant the world was being made the way they'd always longed for it to be: whole. (Isaiah 11:1-10)

Advent | A Song For The Road Ahead

Psalm 122 teaches us to see our faith as a pilgrimage - a remembrance of what we leave behind, a hope for where we're going, and the promise of who we're becoming along the way.
