Restoration Church

Epiphany | Transfiguration Sunday

It's one of the strangest yet most significant stories in the Gospels: a supernatural moment that brings together the past, the present, and the future of Jesus' identity and vocation in the world. And for us, it's a reminder that because He is who He says He is, He is worthy of our trust. 

Epiphany | The Ministry Of Listening

How do we share our faith? Perhaps it doesn’t start with what we say to people, but with how we listen to them. 1 Corinthians 9 challenges us to a Jesus-shaped mission that enters into the stories and struggles of others.

Epiphany | Can We Disagree In Church?

How do we find and fight for unity when we differ on secondary issues? In a world that disciples us to divide and dismiss, our pursuit of unity *in our differences* is one of our most powerful witnesses we offer the world.

7th Anniversary | God, Who Makes Things Grow.

We’re 7 years old! That’s right, this weekend marks the seventh anniversary of Restoration Church. In this special message, Jusin looks back on our story, looks forward to what lies ahead, and shares how God is growing us together.

Special Message | Why Can’t We Be Friends

Let’s face it: in this hyper-connected-yet-isolating world, having friends – and keeping friends – is hard. It’s one thing to make time to be in the same room with others, but growing in friendship? That feels harder than ever before. In this special message, Justin is exploring what community hopes to accomplish: deep, Jesus-shaped friendships to grow and sustain us in the ups and downs of our stories. Join us Sunday!

Epiphany | Apprenticeship With Jesus

Some words make their way through different times and cultures, and along the way, they accumulate baggage. Before long, they lose their original meaning altogether. One such word? Discipleship. In this message, we dive into what it originally meant be a disciple and what this invitation means for us today.

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)
