When the women came back from the tomb they shared with the disciples that Jesus was alive, but the disciples did not believe the women but thought it was an idle tale. Has the resurrection of Jesus become an idle tale to us, or are we living every day in the reality that JESUS IS ALIVE!

Dave continues to talk about Jesus' prayer in John 17 and also looks at the church being the body of Christ and what that means for us.

Jesus prayed for us, and what was His prayer... that we would be ONE. Sadly, there is much division in the church, people arguing and taking sides over biblical things. What has this done to our relationships within the church? What has this done to our witness to the world?

In this message Dave talks about the division that exists and asks us to think about "Where have YOU contributed to a culture of division?"

Hebrews 10:19-22 communicates a powerful truth, and it is this... that because of the blood of Jesus we can boldly enter heaven's most holiest place. That is simply amazing. In this message, Zach from Overland Missions, talks about this important truth.

NOTE: There is a short teaching about prayer from Steve & Rebecca Grant at the beginning of this message. We encourage you to listen to that too.

The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear Him. This is a powerful promise, but what does fear of the Lord mean? In this message Dave talks about the fear of the Lord and why it's so important as a follower of Jesus.

God refuses to be God without us.

Throughout Scripture we see God's heart, His desire to be with His people. The original intent of the garden was to be a place where God dwelled with His people. Over and over God pursues His people, and one day we will be with Him forever.

This message is an overview of God's desire to be with His people. At Restoration, we want to be a people that hunger for His presence, and are marked by His presence.
