We desire to truly live as people who have been set free and rescued into the Kingdom of God! Living as the church who has been transformed and finds her significance in Jesus will bring restoration to people around her. As each of us is living out this mission at Restoration, we will join with all other Christians around the world to eventually bring glory to Jesus everywhere.
Read MoreThank you Tyrone Daniel for reminding us to find our significance in Christ! “ Our revelation of Jesus determines our mission and our mission determines our local church.” We desire to be people living for the King and His Kingdom!
Read MorePaul uses the example of Abraham to debunk the belief that people can be declared righteous by God based on their own actions and reinforces the fact that true righteousness comes only through faith in what Jesus did for us on the cross. This righteousness is available to all nations!
Read MoreWe have been justified by the faithfulness of Jesus, His finished work on the cross and are FREE from guilt and condemnation. We are free from sin and outward conformity and can come before God because of Jesus alone.
Read MoreThe truth of the gospel is powerful, unchanging, and must be preserved. Galatians 2 encourages us to always maintain the truth of the gospel in order to fully live in the freedom Christ has purchased for us. Just as Paul has done for us, so we must do the same for others.
Read MoreWe are uniquely created and called. Like Paul, we can all grow in intimacy and revelation as we journey with Jesus.
Read MoreGod has a spacious place for us and we enter in by faith, receiving all that Jesus has won for us. Because of Jesus we are co-heirs with Christ and can live finding our joy and hope in Him, despite our circumstance. We can dream big in Him, not living in fear of the unknown or wishing for what’s familiar but trusting in our big God and His good plans for our lives, moving into the more He has for us.
Read MoreUnderstanding the love our our Heavenly Father will strengthen, refresh, envision, and encourage us through the tough times. Jesus went to the cross, per our Heavenly Father’s will, because He understood “This is my son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased” (Matt 3:17). Let’s follow Jesus’ example and draw upon our Father’s love for everything that we do.
Read MoreJesus brought a kingdom that was upside down, and inside out. The first will be last and the greatest will be the servant of all. When we are faithful in the small things, God leads us into and entrusts us with more.
Read MoreThe world defines inheritance as material goods. Our future inheritance is so much more than that. It is to stand before our God and receive “the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day” (2 Tim 4:7). Be encouraged and lean into Him as we move beyond worldly inheritance in order to appear before God (Ps 84:7) to receive our everlasting inheritance.
Read MoreGod always fulfills His promise! We see His faithfulness through the humanly impossible birth of Isaac, which brought joy to Sarah and Abraham. This is a foreshadow to another miraculous birth of Jesus two thousands years later, which brought joy to all mankind! Let’s tune our ears and hearts to hear God’s specific promise for each of us!
Read MoreThank you Ken for reminding us that God desires to speak to us. God wants us to know that we are dearly loved and treasured by Him. The way for us to know that is through recognizing His voice, from all the other voices, and listen to His voice.
