Vanessa encouraged us to find our identity in Christ and in our sonship or daughtership to the Father.
Read MoreThis Sunday we were encouraged to pursue a greater revelation of Jesus to bring His glory everywhere!
Read MoreWhen Jesus calls a follower, He calls them to total transformation through discipleship. By living a lifestyle of discipleship we discover the faith that moves mountains and weathers the storms of life in perfect peace. In this sermon Ryan highlights the Apostle Peter in Acts 12:5-6 and surveys the book of Mark to uncover the process of development that a disciple goes through in relationship to Jesus.
Read MoreIn the first half of John 10 we heard that Jesus is the Good Shepherd and He is also the gate to the fold. As the gate, He is the only way to eternal life. As the Good Shepherd, He cares for us, His sheep, even to the point of laying down His own life so that we might have life and have it to the full. His sheep know His voice and they follow Him. Will you follow Him?
Read MoreThe actual act of praying requires humility and vulnerability. Praying also allows the Spirit of God to speak to us, and through us, in ushering God’s will and His Kingdom into our everyday lives.
Read MoreWe yearn to be the church full of prayers as Biblical prayer is a conversation, richly saturated with love, between man and God.
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 MoreOur revelation of Jesus and our relationship with Him will transform us into true followers of Jesus. Let’s continue to lean into our revelation, and relationship, of Jesus so we can be “transformed into his image from one degree of glory to another.” (2 Cor 3:18). This is one of the values God has called Restoration to be: People who are continuously being transformed in order to shine as a light in the darkness for His glory!
Read MoreRestoration has been given a Banner by God to display His glory over our neighborhoods and the nations, as no local church should exist just for the sake of existence. In order to fulfill His great purpose, one of Restoration’s mandates is to help bring light to the darkness and set people free by sharing the Good News.
Read MoreWe all impact the nations when we work together by partaking in the different roles within the local church. Hence, we will all get to enjoy the inheritance that have been set aside for us from our King.
Read MoreRejoice in the Lord and we will be found in His righteousness! (Phil 3)
Read MoreGod’s grace is absolutely necessary for us to faithfully walk into the calling He has intended for each of us. Jesus dying on the cross is an example of God’s grace in action. Once we have that understanding, “giving” is no longer about us giving what is ours to God, but it becomes our response of gratitude - the same as our response of gratitude in our worship/lifestyle for His grace over our lives.
