Hue wraps up the second part of our two-part Christmas series, “The Promised Savior.”
Read MoreToby encouraged us to study the Scriptures and see how they inform our everyday lives, help us to live faithfully, and share our faith with others.
Read MoreWe are thankful and blessed for this word brought by Chanelle Rossouw for our church. Chanelle is gifted in the prophetic and gives a very clear explanation on what the prophetic is and how we can partner with God’s words to us.
Read MoreIn this section of the Farewell Discourse the disciples are warned that the world will hate them. This is true for us as well as we are also disciples of Jesus. When we encounter hate from the world we can be reassured that Jesus is with us, because He gave us the Holy Spirit, and we are therefore capable of continuing to obey Jesus’ commands even in difficult circumstances.
Just as Jesus asked those grieving the death of Lazarus, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” So the same question can be asked of us. If we believe we will follow Jesus, do the things He asks of us, and then we will see the glory of God!
Read MoreWe are surrounded by darkness in the world we live in and as a result, we experience suffering. In John 9 we see this in the account of a man born blind who was healed by Jesus. We see as Jesus explains to His disciples, that this man’s suffering had a purpose to ultimately glorify God. We also carry this purpose. Jesus is the light in this dark world and He is in us. We must believe in Him, go out sharing His light, and resist and persist through the darkness.
Read MoreJesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” John 7:37b-38
In John 7 Jesus compared His Spirit to a river of living water. If we believe in Him, His Spirit is in us, and this river will flow in us and from us. It refreshes and brings life everywhere it flows. As you go about your life, remember that you carry this river of living water with you and let the Spirit work in and through you!
Thank you so much for bringing a word of encouragement to Restoration! We put our trust in Our mighty God because He is able AND He is Sovereign!
Read MoreAll followers of Jesus Christ, we have been commissioned to share the gospel and bring glory to Jesus. The best and easiest way to achieve that purpose is to obey His command to love one another as He has loved us (John 13:34-35). We will be supernaturally lifted onto a platform to share the gospel to everyone when we radically love one another (1 Cor 13) as Jesus has loved us.
Read MoreHaving assurance of our salvation is not something we can only hope in. We can know for certain the inheritance that awaits us as God’s children.
Read MoreGod has a plan and purpose for each of us because “all the days ordained for us were written in His book before one of them came to to be.” (Ps. 139). Restoration was birthed to be a place where people are rescued, restored, redeemed and eventually released to walk fully into what was ordained in His book.
Read MoreEveryone who puts their trust in Jesus has restored relationship with the Father, a purpose, a destiny, and a bright future in God. We are free from the past, hopelessness, guilt and shame. What is our response? Pray! And share with others about Jesus.
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.”
