Restore Austin

What so many religious leaders then and even now don’t realize is that the table doesn’t belong to them. It doesn’t belong to any of us. The table belongs to Jesus and he has made it abundantly clear who gets to sit with him - absolutely anyone who wants to. Join us as Zach W. Lambert teaches about how we practice radical inclusion!

We are here and live-streaming every Sunday at 9:30am CT. If you’d like to connect with Restore, go to www.restoreaustin.org/connect.

Calling yourself a Christian is not the same thing as following Jesus. Almost every day we see clips of pastors and politicians using the name of Jesus to justify opposing ideologies. How do we decipher who is right? How do we know we are following Jesus? Join us today as Zach W. Lambert concludes our Sermon on the Mount series talking about the narrow Way of Jesus!
