When we behold something glorious or magnificent it should change us. When you hear on the news that something wild has happened, you tell someone about it. How much more important is our response to the glories of Christ, once we behold them? Join us as we begin the new year with our series Making Much of Christ!

John the Baptist was questioned often who he was, and he replied that he was the forerunner. He was the one to prepare the way for the coming King, but when would he arrive? The Apostle John records for us in John 1:29-34 Jesus entering the scene, and the forerunner is there to announce him. The Lamb of God had arrived, which changes everything!

Not only is Jesus the Light of the World, but He came to us! John makes clear in John 1:14-16 that the Word who was in the beginning is the Christ who came in flesh. Join us on Christmas Eve as we celebrate the birth of Christ!

In John 1:6-8, there is a break from speaking about the Light to speaking of the one who came before him. John the Baptist was a witness to the Light of the World, which is the same responsibility that followers of Christ have today.

From the first words of his gospel account, you know exactly where John stands theologically. John uses similar language to that of Genesis 1 to identify Jesus as God and Creator. This means that the Light of the World has been shining from the beginning!

All is vanity. It has been the theme of Ecclesiastes throughout 11 chapters, so how do we finish. The writer gives us the final response to all that he has experienced in life. The application seems simple, but is it? Join us on Sunday as we finish Don’t Waste Your Life by looking at Ecclesiastes 12:1-14.

At Restoration Church, we value intentionality. It’s key to who we are, but to be intentional is to live in the way that God desires. If we are to live in eternity with Christ, then we should live now as if eternity exist! To live with intentionality is to live backwards. Join us on Sunday as we look at Ecclesiastes 11:5-10 to discover the way to do this.

Success is thought of in different ways in different context. The key is thinking about success in the way that God does. Ecclesiastes 10:5-11:4 speaks of success as being related to investment. To think and operate in this manner is difficult, but to do so gives God all the glory!

We live in a very noisy culture; this is something new to us. However, many of us seek answers amid the noise. In normal fashion, the Bible says the opposite. As we’ll see in Ecclesiastes 9:11-10:4, wisdom is often found in the quiet away from all the noise. Join us Sunday to dig into this text and discover the still, small voice of God in the quiet.

As Ecclesiastes continues, the writer becomes more and more practical in his writings. In this week’s text, Ecclesiastes 8:14-9:10, there is a reminder of what has been said from the beginning. However, he takes an interesting approach by utilizing certain life examples. Join us this week as we continue to lean into the Scriptures.
