Restoration Church

Epiphany | Beholding And Becoming.

There’s a type of faith that engages our heads… but never stirs our hearts. In 2 Corinthians 3, Paul reminds us that the Gospel we believe isn’t just good and true - it’s beautiful. And we are changed to the degree that we turn our lives towards this glory we see in Jesus. (2 Corinthians 3:4-18)

Epiphany | Love Your Enemies: Clarity Or Compromise?

In Luke 6, Jesus calls a people living under the hand of oppression to do something radical - to love those who disadvantage them and refuse to stand over others in moral superiority. In a world where the religious landscape is constantly shifting, we need the wisdom of these commands more than ever. (Luke 6:27-38)

Epiphany | Slow Down And Listen.

Jeremiah 17 reminds us of the deceptiveness of our hearts, but not from a place of condemnation, but invitation - to slow down, open ourselves up to the presence of God, and allow Him to change us in the stillness. (Jeremiah 17:5-10)

Epiphany | The Weight Of Glory

When Isaiah saw God, he saw himself clearly for the first time. And in the healing work of grace, he found a calling and passion that grew from the same restoring work God was doing in him. Guess what? The same can be true for us. (Isaiah 6:1-8)

Epiphany | Love Alone Will Last

1 Corinthians 13 often gets pigeon-holed as a flowery poem for weddings, but that's far for the context of Pauls' words. On the contrary, this famous passage calls a spiritually active but immature Church to remember what the true measure of growth will always be: learning to love. 

Epiphany | A Call To Restore (5th Anniversary)

As a part of our 5th anniversary service, Justin Rhorer shares a bit of our Church's story, as well as the passage that gave birth to the name Restoration - and how it's still our calling today. (Isaiah 61-1-4)

Epiphany | Kingdom of Joy

Alicia Sims shares this morning about Jesus' first miracle in the book of John - a miracle that on the surface seems... ordinary. But as we pay attention to the story, we see the foretaste of the kingdom breaking into our world - a kingdom marked by defiant joy. (John 2:1-11)

Epiphany | Something New Is Coming.

We live in a chaotic, unpredictable world. Yet when God promises to bring newness of life, He doesn't do it outside of the choas - He brings it right in the middle of it. (Isaiah 43:1-2, 16-19)

Christmas | Light Breaks Through

Light breaks through the darkness as new creation dawns. Together as a community, we bear witness to the light by radically centering Jesus - and inviting others to do the same. (John 1:1-5)

Christmas | The Solidarity Of God

At the end of Luke 2, we get a brief picture of the life of Jesus between his birth and ministry - an incredibly human story. Christmas celebrates incarnation of God in flesh. But why does it even matter than Jesus took on our humanity? (Luke 2:41-52)
