Restoration Church

Restoried: Cruciformed | The Sword Or The Cross?

Kings and warriors had ridden into Jerusalem before to the sounds of celebration. But the King who arrived on Palm Sunday didn't come to kill his enemies. He came to die for them. (Luke 19:28-40)

Restoried: Cruciformed | Jesus And The Mob Boss

It's one thing for Jesus to welcome the least of these. But what happens when he welcomes a rich, powerful, and corrupt man who brings economic oppression on his own people? How far can grace go? (Luke 19:1-10)

Restoried: Cruciformed | The Hell Of Indifference

In Luke 16, Jesus tells a parable about hell. But more than a statement on the afterlife, Jesus is confronting the sin of cold indifference to the suffering of our neighbors right at our front door. (Luke 16:19-31)

Restoried: Cruciformed | The Joy Of Being Found

In one of His most famous parables, Jesus responds to the frustrations of the religious elite by redefining what it truly means to be lost - and found. (Luke 15:1-7)

Restoried: Cruciformed | Fertilizer Or Fruit?

In light of questions about suffering and sin, Jesus tells a parable about the patience persistent grace of God to bear the fruit of His life in us. (Luke 13:1-9)

Restoried: Cruciformed | Scandalous Mercy

Jesus uses a lawyer's question to tell a story that centers on a Samaritan - a cultural outcast with all the wrong theology who nonetheless embodies Jesus' vision for neighborly love. (Luke 10:25-37)

Joining God: Discovering The Heart Of Restoration

In January of 2017 we planted Restoration with a simple mission statement: "We believe Jesus is restoring people who restore the world. Our mission is to join Him." This week, Justin unpacked what this means for who we are and where we are headed as a Church family!

Restoried: Awaken | From Fascination To Faith

Jesus is amazed by the faith of a centurion - someone thought to be godless and faithless. But what was different about his faith than the crowds who followed him everywhere? (Luke 7:1-10)

Restoried: Awaken | The Anatomy Of A Legalist

Were the Pharisees all bad? No. But the ones that Jesus encounters in the Gospels display a legalistic heart that valued their traditions more than they valued people. So how do we know when we are doing the same thing? (Luke 6:1-11)

Restoried: Awaken | Spiritual Entitlement (1.17.21)

In Luke 4, Jesus returns to his hometown of Nazareth... and almost get's himself thrown off a cliff. Why? He challenged and upended their expectations and called them - and us - to a bigger Gospel. (Luke 4:14-30)
