Christmas | The Tyranny Of The Familiar

In a crowded temple with thousands of people passing them by, the baby Jesus and his parents go almost entirely unnoticed. Only Simeon and Anna - two faithful, ordinary people, found what they were looking for. In the bustle and busyness of life, Jesus often moves through our lives without being seen. Will we find what we're looking for? 

Christmas Eve

We have a Gospel that neither denies the darkness we face… or lets it overcome us. 

Advent | Mary’s Protest Song

When the Holy Spirit stirs in her as she meets her cousin Elizabeth, Mary does something we might not expect: she sings a protest song. It turns out the child in her womb is a throne-toppling, proud-scattering Savior coming to make all things new.

Advent | Confronting A Crowded Heart

"Let every heart prepare Him room." Isaiah 40 challenges us to clear the paths of our hearts that are cluttered with spiritual and emotional debris - because our God is soon to arrive. Advent is an opportunity to examine the ways our lives have crowded out our best intentions of being present to God. (Isaiah 40:1-11)

Advent | When I Feel Far From God

Advent begins with a cry of brutal honesty. Isaiah 64 speaks to the ache of a people who've known God more as a rumor than a reality. They know the truth about Him, but they've failed to live it themselves. As a result, God feels a million miles away. What do we do when we feel far from God? Isaiah 64 reminds us that it's the character of God - not the condition of our faith - that is our foundation. (Isaiah 64:1-7)

Restoration Stories | Ask, Seek, Knock

In this special service, we give our attention to testimonies of answered prayer and the faithfulness of God right here at Restoration. 

Special Interview | Friends Of The Good Samaritan

In this special interview, Our worship pastor Hannah interviews Dr. Ananthi Jebasingh, founder of the Friends of the Good Samaritan Schools in New Delhi, India. In this wide ranging conversation, you'll hear about God's faithfulness in her own story, in the lives of children in New Delhi, and how you can partner to see their kingdom work continue to grow. 

Images Of God | All Things

As we close out of series Images Of God, our Student Pastor Casey speaks of an often overlooked but vitally important part of God's redemption story: creation itself. Not only does creation reflect the glory and goodness of God, it reminds us of our future hope of a restored life with God. 

Images Of God | Sin And The Image Of God

Sin is an unavoidable reality in the story of our faith. But it’s not the whole story. As we continue our study of what it means to be image-bearers of God, we’ll explore what sin really is, how we’ve misused and misunderstood it, and how it points us to the good news of a broken world being made whole.

Images Of God | Image Bearers

The Bible makes an astounding claim: every human being is made in the image of God. But what does that mean? This truth has profound implications on how we see God, our neighbors, ourselves... even our enemies.
