Faithful, not impressive — living for God’s approval over people’s opinions.

In this message from March 22, we step out of our Matthew series to look at a powerful moment from the life and teaching of the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 4. In a world obsessed with performance, image, and results, Paul reorients us around something far more important: faithfulness.

So often, we live under pressure—replaying conversations, worrying about how we’re perceived, and measuring ourselves against standards God never gave us. But Scripture reminds us that we are not performers—we are stewards. We’ve each been entrusted with something by God, and the question isn’t how impressive we look, but how faithful we are with what we’ve been given.

This message challenges us to examine what we’re really living for. Are we driven by the opinions of others, or by obedience to God? Are we managing our image, or stewarding our lives?

Through Paul’s words, we’re reminded that human judgment is limited and temporary—but God sees fully, including the motives of our hearts. And in the end, it is His evaluation that matters most.

Whether you’re following Jesus, exploring faith, or somewhere in between, this message invites you to shift your focus—from performance to faithfulness, from fear to trust, and from living for approval to living for God.

Desperation gets God’s attention—because Jesus is deeply compassionate and powerful to heal.

This week, Tom continues our King & His Kingdom series in Matthew 20:29–34, where Jesus encounters two blind men sitting along the road as He leaves Jericho on His way to Jerusalem. These men—beggars and social outcasts—cry out repeatedly, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!” Even when the crowd tries to silence them, their desperation only grows louder. Their story reveals a powerful truth: even imperfect faith, when placed in Jesus, can bring us into contact with His grace.

Tom contrasts the desperate faith of the blind men with the crowd following Jesus. While the blind men cry out for mercy in their affliction, the crowd attempts to quiet them. It’s a reminder that followers of Jesus aren’t perfect—sometimes we get in the way of what God wants to do. Instead of silencing desperation, Tom challenges the church to support it, recognizing that many people among us are carrying deep afflictions and need the freedom to cry out to God.

The sermon presses into an uncomfortable reality: when we face pain or unmet needs, we often try to hide our afflictions or medicate them—through distraction, entertainment, substances, or busyness—instead of bringing them honestly to Jesus. The blind men model a better response. They refuse to stay silent and cry out for mercy until Jesus stops. And when He does, the text says He is moved with compassion, a deep gut-level response that leads Him to act.

Jesus touches their eyes, heals them, and immediately they follow Him. Tom closes with a defining statement about what it means to be a Christian: followers of Jesus are people who have been touched by Jesus. They’re not just people who believe certain ideas about Him—they’re people whose lives have been changed by His mercy and who now follow Him because they’ve experienced His grace.

The invitation of this message is simple and powerful: bring your afflictions to Jesus. Cry out for mercy. He is compassionate, He is King, and one touch from Him can change everything.

Colton Moore - March 8th 2026

How you spend your money reveals what your heart values—and who you’re really friends with.

In this special gathering, as Restored says goodbye to this space and prays over Colton and Mallerie Moore and the Restored West Valley church plant team, Colton brings a timely message from Luke 16:1–18. Through Jesus’ surprising parable of the dishonest manager, he shows that this is not a lesson in shady business ethics, but a warning against making terrible investments with the resources God has entrusted to us.

Colton unpacks Luke’s unique emphasis on the socioeconomic impact of Jesus’ lordship—how the kingdom of God is especially good news for the poor, the overlooked, the stigmatized, and the outsider. Jesus teaches that worldly people often show more urgency and shrewdness in securing their temporary future than disciples do in investing for eternity. The call is not to buy salvation with money, but to use worldly wealth in ways that echo into eternal dwellings: caring for the vulnerable, practicing hospitality, supporting gospel work, and investing in people whose spiritual debts only Jesus can pay.

This message also exposes why this is so hard for us: we cannot serve both God and money. Jesus confronts our disordered hearts not to shame us, but to free us from a heavier burden and invite us into a lighter one under His lordship. Colton reminds us that we are the real debtors in the story—and that Jesus, the only perfectly faithful manager, didn’t merely reduce our debt, but paid it in full with His righteous blood. When that hospitality and generosity of Christ truly reaches the heart, it reshapes how we see our money, our neighbors, and the kingdom of God.

The invitation of this sermon is not “do better, try harder,” but come as you are to Jesus, receive His hospitable love, and let His generosity transform you into the kind of person who welcomes others the same way. In a new space and a new season, this is a call for the church to be marked by the hospitality, generosity, and evangelistic love of Jesus.

Tom Logue - March 1st 2026

True greatness isn’t found in status or success—it’s found in serving others, just as Jesus served us.

In this message from Matthew 20:20–28, Tom continues our King & His Kingdom series and explores Jesus’ radical definition of greatness. As Jesus and His disciples journey toward Jerusalem, the mother of James and John asks Jesus for positions of honor for her sons in His kingdom—one at His right and one at His left. But Jesus reveals they don’t understand what they are asking. The path to His throne is not one of power or prestige, but suffering and sacrificial love.

Jesus uses this moment to redefine greatness for His followers. In a world that measures greatness through status, influence, achievements, or wealth, Jesus says true greatness is found through service. The greatest in God’s kingdom are not those who elevate themselves above others, but those who willingly serve them.

At the center of this teaching is the gospel itself: “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Jesus didn’t just teach service—He modeled it. Through His death on the cross, He paid the price to free people from slavery to sin and bring them back to God.

Tom illustrates this truth with a powerful analogy using 360-degree camera footage from a ski trip. Just like a camera can frame everything around the person wearing it, our lives often revolve around ourselves. But the gospel reframes our lives. When we receive the grace of Jesus and allow Him to serve us, our focus shifts away from ourselves and toward God and others.

The question at the heart of the message is simple but searching: Has the gospel actually changed your life? A life transformed by Jesus is marked by humility, freedom from condemnation, and a growing desire to serve others just as Christ served us.

Jesus wants to heal your spiritual eyesight—so you can see His love clearly in the place He suffered most.

This week, Tom continues our King & His Kingdom series in Matthew 20:17–19, where Jesus pulls His disciples aside on the road to Jerusalem and tells them plainly what is coming: betrayal, condemnation, mocking, flogging, death—and resurrection on the third day.

Tom opens with a personal story about LASIK surgery, using it as a picture of what God may want to do in us: a kind of “spiritual eye surgery” that helps us see Jesus clearly—especially in the painful places where He was wounded physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

From this short but weighty passage, Tom highlights three big realities:

Jesus’ suffering was comprehensive. He didn’t just “get through” the cross—He felt the full weight of it, so there is no kind of suffering you can face that He cannot identify with.

Jesus signed up for the suffering—because He loves you. Tom connects this to the way a mother willingly embraces the cost of childbirth out of love, pointing us to the deeply personal nature of Christ’s love: not just “for the world,” but for you.

God will warn you. Just as loving parents warn their kids to protect them, Jesus prepares His disciples ahead of time—not to scare them, but to help them endure what’s ahead with faith, perseverance, and trust.

The message ends with a clear, personal invitation: Have you been born again? Jesus didn’t suffer for no reason—He suffered so you could be made new, brought into real life with God, and learn to follow Him with eyes that see clearly.

Mike Harrelson - February 15th 2026

Drift is quiet — but repentance restores joy and sends us back on mission.

This week, Mike walks us through the life of King David (2 Samuel 11–12; Psalm 51; Revelation 2), exposing the subtle danger of spiritual drift. Like a surfer slowly carried away from the lifeguard tower, drift rarely feels dramatic — it’s gradual, quiet, and often disguised as comfort, busyness, or even religious activity.

Mike shows how David’s greatest failure didn’t begin with adultery or murder — it began with absence. He stayed home when kings went to war. From there, one quiet compromise led to devastating consequences that affected everyone around him. Drift is never private.

But the story doesn’t end there.

Through Psalm 51, we hear what real repentance sounds like — confession, humility, a broken spirit, and a desperate plea: “Restore the joy of your salvation to me.” David models that restoration begins not with activity, but with a humble heart. When joy is restored, mission follows.

The message closes with a powerful reminder from Revelation 2: Jesus calls His people to remember, repent, and return to their first love. Our hope is not in drifting less — it is in fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Son of David, who never drifted and now intercedes for us.

As a church stepping intentionally into mission (including Alpha), this sermon asks two honest questions:
How’s your joy?
And,
Who in your life is God pursuing — and how can you join Him?

Tom Logue - February 8th 2026

The kingdom of heaven belongs to the needy, the unwanted, and the desperate who keep showing up.

This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 20:1–16, where Jesus tells the parable of the workers in the vineyard. Through this story, Tom reveals both a window into the kingdom and a mirror for our hearts. The landowner represents a God who relentlessly goes out Himself, again and again, seeking people in need—not just the skilled or impressive, but the overlooked, unwanted, and desperate.

Tom shows how this parable confronts our instinct to hide need, perform strength, and compare ourselves to others. The workers who waited all day did so because they were desperate—and the landowner pays them a full day’s wage because God knows what we need and He is a generous provider. Grace, Tom reminds us, is never fair. God is never unfair except to Himself. The cross stands as the ultimate proof that heaven operates on a different scoreboard than earth—one that values hearts over resumes and humility over entitlement.

This message invites us to stop pretending everything is fine, to bring our needs honestly before God, and to trust the King whose generosity far exceeds what we could ever earn. The question Jesus leaves us with is simple and searching: Are we jealous or joyful when God is gracious?

Money reveals who’s really on the throne of your life—and Jesus invites us to trade control for something far better.

In this message from The King & His Kingdom series, we continue through Matthew 19:23–30, where Jesus confronts the deep spiritual power of money. Using vivid illustrations—from MRI scans to investment returns—Tom shows how wealth can quietly replace God as king, and why Jesus says it’s hard for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.

This sermon explores why money is not evil, but dangerous; how it exposes our true allegiances; and why shifting our trust from wealth to Jesus is humanly impossible—but fully possible with God. Most importantly, we’re invited to see the kingdom of heaven as the greatest investment imaginable: one that yields eternal life, true freedom, and a hundredfold return.
