Restoration Church

In this week's message, we meet Joseph, the great grandson of Abraham and a product of generations of disfunction and sin in his family. But Joseph's story doesn't continue the cycle, instead moving to hope in God's sovereign work for our good. (Genesis 37:3-34, 50:15-21)

Kaleb and Justin dive deeper into our passage this week from the Narrative Lectionary: Genesis 15:1-6. We meet Abram 10 years after God's first promise to him, struggling to believe and move forward. How do we have faith between the promise and the fulfillment? 

In Genesis 15, we meet Abram, a man living in the space between the promise and the fulfillment, where faith grows through embodied acts of trust. (Genesis 15:1-6)

Each week, Justin Rhorer, Kaleb Heitzman, and other voices from Restoration will go deeper into the passages from our Sunday gatherings, asking questions and having conversations we don't have time for in a gathering. This week, we unpack the important implications of Genesis 2-3 and what it means for how we understand who we are. 

Our origin story begins with a declaration about who God is, and who we - his image-bearers - are in light of Him. And the implications of this for our story could not be more important. (Genesis 2:1-3:8)

The Word of God is alive and active... because the God who speaks the Word is alive and active. Because of this, we're not just reading about Jesus, we're reading with Him! (Hebrews 4:12-13)

We all are the product of the stories we immerse ourselves in. In this contentious season, we need to immerse ourselves in the story of God. (Psalm 1)

The New Testament is constantly calling us out of ourselves in into life with - and for - one another. (Colossians 3:12-15)

We are temples of the Holy Spirit, empowered as priests of the living God - right where we are. (1 Corinthians 12:1-11)

The history of the Church shows that small, extended families of believers turned the world upside down - simply by their lives of common devotion and love. (Acts 2:42-27)
