Restoration Church

This week we wrapped up looking at Hebrews 11 with a strong call to endure, to keep going. Endurance is what's needed, but how do we do that? By walking together, casting off things that weigh us down, and by focusing on Jesus. *Note: We had many testimonies during our gathering so the message was cut short.

In this message we look at the life of Rahab, and her step into salvation.

Stories of God transforming lives are powerful. Recently a number of people took a step of obedience and were baptized. Before they were baptized they shared their story. Be encouraged as you listen.

In this message we look at the life of Moses, and him turning and obeying the voice of God to go back and free the people of Israel from slavery.

In this message we look at the life of Jospeh, and him stepping into a life of suffering but in the end we realize his suffering had a greater purpose.

In this message we look at the life of Noah, and him stepping into the unknown to build a boat when God told him to.

Throughout Scripture the Christian life is compared to a walk... walk in the newness of life, walk in step with the Spirit, walk by faith... Faith is taking the next step, or the next shuffle even when you can’t see the whole picture. It’s not always easy, but that's the life of faith. Faith is a daily walk. a consistent, courageous dependence on God, regardless of circumstances. This summer join us as we look at the walk of faith many took throughout Scripture. And as we do, look at your walk of faith. Focus on the single step forward the Lord might be leading & trust His leadership. Know that our faith is rooted in Him, because HE is faithful.

We are not to keep the power of the Lord or the knowledge of the Lord to ourselves. We are to pass it on to the next generation. But who do we do this? In this message we talk about that, and it's easier that you think is.

We continue to look at the concept of family. God bringing together people, who would not normally come together, in Jesus and creating a family. In the family there are mothers. In Genesis 2 we see God created a helper for Adam. The word "helper" is used 19 times in the Old Testament, often defining God who comes to the rescue. Women, a helper isn’t someone defined by household duties, sitting in the background, or thinking of themselves as lesser than. A helper was made uniquely by God to be tenacious in prayer, and with faith that God actually hears. A helper was made to rescue, to be a warrior, to be a believer when things seem overwhelmingly dark, to be an encourager when others confuse their identity in Christ. As you listen to this message, may you be encouraged.

In a culture that’s never been more connected; we are more isolated than ever. But Jesus didn’t die and rise again so that we’d be isolated. He wants to reunite family, and Jesus created a forgiven family through the cross. In the family of the forgiven there are fathers. In this message we look at the role and responsibilities of fathers/men. And remember that the best fathers point beyond themselves to an even greater Father. As you listen to this, may you be reminded of the your Father in heaven, who never abandons His children, never forgets their names, and keeps pursuing them even when they stray.
