Every week, an eclectic group of people gather at the Lyric – a room full of stories and struggles that are finding their way together in Jesus. Everything we do in these moments matters – serving not just to inform our faith, but to form us as the people us God. 

From the very beginning of our faith, baptism has been a public declaration of both our belief and belonging in Jesus. In this message (on a Sunday with 5 baptisms!), Justin shares why this symbol is so central to the journey of our faith, and why it marks our trajectory for our future in Christ. 

Being "on mission" is anxious and exhausting in a Church when the underlying belief is that it all hangs on you. At Restoration, we're seeking to make Jesus the model for Jesus' mission - learning to join God instead of trying to frantically do His work for him.

Every person - and every organization - has a center. It is the orientation of the whole, the measurement of both what it means to believe AND what it means to belong. In this message, we explore what it means for our Church family to make Jesus our center - and how that impacts the kind of community we seek to build.

As God restores us, the first place we see the fruit is in our relationships. Sunday we’re unpacking barriers to building healthy relationships - and the kind of community where we can slow down, find healing, and learn to bear with one another in love. (Colossians 3:12-13)

We can’t offer the world around us what we’re not receiving ourselves. To become a community of restorers, we must ourselves receive God’s restoring work in our whole selves. Sunday we’re beginning to unpack what it means for *us* to be restored to wholeness in Christ. 

7.5 years ago, Restoration Church was born. So what makes us who we are? In this message, Justin shares how the Gospel we believe is bigger than we think – and why it inspires the community we build together. 

What are you building your life on? Peter calls Jesus our cornerstone – a stone rejected by the world. So for a people being built on a Savior who doesn’t fit, we shouldn’t be surprised if we don’t fit either. But that’s good news. (1 Peter 2:4-7)

We inhabit a world where we are often defined by who we are against. And yet we have an adversary that knows that when we sow division, belittle our enemies, and weaponize our words against one another, we’re fighting his battle for him. In this message, we’re unpacking why we often miss the real enemy – and how we can combat the work of his lies among us. (1 Peter 5:8-9)

It can often feel like the world is ending - like *our world* is ending. 1 Peter is written to communities that knew that anxiety well, and yet their response wasn't to build bigger walls. It was to build bigger tables. In this message, we explore the centrality of hospitable love to the mission of the Church. (1 Peter 4:7-9)
