Our 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 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.”
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 MoreAnd God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church.
Ephesians 1:22
Jesus is the center and focus of our worship and we worship Him simply because of who He is. When we center our lives around Jesus, we receive Heaven’s perspective and can be encouraged, strengthened, and refreshed from being in the presence of God.
God’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.
Read MoreLet us be the people who fulfill the law of Christ: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind - and love your neighbors as yourself. This is how others will know that we belong to another Kingdom, The Kingdom of God, through our submission to the Law of Christ.
Read MoreJesus set us free from condemnation, guilt and shame, fear of punishment and sin, and we no longer have to conform to the pressures of our culture or worry about what others think. We are free! But, Paul exhorts us to use our freedom for good - to love and serve one another and those around us. Oh how we need to be with the Father, to be filled by His love, in order to love those around us!
