Restoration Church

At the heart of the Gospel, you’ll find forgiveness. But in everyday life, forgiveness isn’t always easy. As we continue our series Together, we’re exploring forgiveness – what it is, what it’s not, and why it’s central not only to our faith, but to building healthy, meaningful relationships. 

If we’re going to find healthy relationships in the Church, sooner in later, we’re going to have to learn how to handle conflict. In this message, we explore the centrality of reconciliation to the Gospel – and give a pathway foward in pursuing healthy vision of conflict that bears witness to the reconciliation we’ve found in Christ.

In the month of August, we're giving our attention to what it means to develop healthy, genuine relationships in the Church. This week, we're laying the foundation by exploring what it means to be a community known by love. (Colossians 3:12-13)

This past week, we finished out our series #TheWholeChurch by focusing on the gifts we might consider more supernatural. One of those gifts, however, is far more controversial than others: the gift of tongues. In this short video, Justin unpacks what speaking tongues is all about, the guardrails for healthy expression of this gift, and why is matters today.

This Sunday is our last week in our series The Whole Church - a series that has focused on the Holy Spirit's worki in both our lives as individuals and as a Church. For the last couple of weeks, we've given our attention to the gifts of the Spirit, and this week? Well, we're talking about some of the gifts we might call... supernatural. Miracles. Tongues. Healing. Are these gifts still an active part of the Church? And if so, how might we pursue them in healthy ways? (1 Corinthians 12:4-11)

In the final three week’s of our series The Whole Church, we’re exploring the Spirit’s work in community through the outpouring of spiritual gifts. These gifts are given with a purpose: to unite us and empower us as a people known by love. This week, we’re exploring how the gifts equip every believer for a life of love in community – as well as the barriers that often stand in the way. 

In the month of July, we’re unpacking one of the most radical teachings in the New Testament: that every believer is empowered by the Spirit for the sake of building a community known by love. In this message, we look at the list of gifts found in Romans 12:6-8.

In this message Guest Speaker Luke Embree shares how the Holy Spirit calls us out of independence and into and interdependent life in community.  

These are some of the most important questions we can ask as Christians. This week, we’re focusing on how God speaks, why His voice matters, and how we can know whether we’re we’re actually following His lead. 

How do we know that the Holy Spirit is at work in us? Some point to the power and prominence of our gifts. But Jesus points us somewhere different – to the fruit of His character growing in us.
