Sermon Podcast
Life is messy, but God’s grace transforms us. In the book of Titus we discover how God wants us to make some incredible transformations in our church, our families and our community.

We are the result of our decisions. While we agonize over little things like what to wear and what to eat, are we glossing over the big choices? There might be more on the line than you thought when you say “I Choose.”

We face complicated decisions every day. Whether it’s how to handle our money, how much time should I be spending with this person, or even questions about how to raise my kids, we wonder what is the “right” thing to do? It’s confusing because these decisions have many options that are morally permissible.
The book of Proverbs in the Bible teaches us it’s not so much about making the “right” decision as it is to make the “wise” decision. Join us at Restoration as we seek wisdom that will benefit every area of our lives. |

I WANT TO BELIVE, BUT...
It can be difficult to believe in a God we cannot see. We wonder why God didn’t answer our prayers, why God allows suffering, or why we can’t feel His presence. God may not meet all your expectations—but that’s good news! Find out why in a new series: I Want to Believe, But.... |

Many significant moments take place over a meal. Meals are where we celebrate and grieve together. It’s around the table that we tell stories and build deeper friendships.
During the weeks leading up to Easter, we are going to take a closer look at those times Jesus shared a meal with people. Our goal is to discover the life changing lessons Jesus taught when He ate with people. So come hungry, ready to pull up a chair next to Jesus, and enjoy sharing a meal with Him. Series runs March 12 - April 16, 2017. |

Sex is everywhere: in magazines, on TV, on social media. Our culture loves talking about it. With the latest 50 Shades of Grey movie preparing to be released this month, it seems like everyone is talking about Sex. But long before TMZ talked about Sex, God’s Word had a lot to say on the subject. In fact, God created sex as a gift. Sex is a blessing to be enjoyed! But how can we understand sex as a blessing when there is so much hurt and brokenness attached to it?
Join us for an open and honest look at what God’s Word says about Sex. (It doesn’t have to be grey!) |
3 - BROKENNESS OF SEX
Due to technical difficulties the sermon podcast audio is not available. We have linked to the Facebook Live video of the sermon below. |
Many of us don’t realize the importance of the people we choose to surround ourselves with. Our friends determine the quality and direction of our lives. In "Friending," learn how good friends (and bad friends) can impact your feelings, your relationship with God, and your future.

Life doesn’t always go the way we expect it should go. So we pray to God for help and guidance… but sometimes, even though we sincerely pray, God doesn’t do what we’ve asked. We go through pain, but our cry for relief seems to go unanswered. Sometimes, our lives just don’t make sense. Sometimes, God doesn’t make sense.
We’re going to spend the next few weeks at Restoration talking about what we can do when God doesn't make sense. |

#CONFESSIONS
They say confession is good for the soul… and the Bible even backs that statement up. In this new sermon series at Restoration, we’re going to confess a few things, things you may be surprised to hear confessed in a sermon at church, but things we think are common confessions many people would make if they felt like they could. |

Summer often means driving with the windows down and the music cranked up. Many of us even create playlists of music for our summer events. Why do we do this? Because songs speak to us.
The book of Psalms is a playlist in the Bible. It is a collection of songs that convey the emotions we feel from the experiences we go through in life. Some are written in anger, doubt and sadness; while still others are written full of hope and joy! Join us in June and July as we listen to the summer playlist from Psalms. We will discover a great deal about God and ourselves from this collection of songs! |

Afraid? Stressed? Depressed? Overwhelmed? You’re not alone! Life is crazy. You spend all your energy trying to keep up the balancing act, hoping everything doesn’t come crashing down. There’s got to be a better way, right? Good news…there is! Jesus promises an abundant life, a life filled with peace, hope, joy, and freedom. Join us as we find help from God's Word to overcome being overwhelmed. |

CAN I FIND MY WAY BACK?
Most of us would say we believe in God. Maybe at one time you even felt close to Him. Then life just got in the way, and you drifted. BUT NOW SOMETHING IS MISSING Wherever you’re from, whatever your past hurts, shame, or regrets might be, whether you call yourself Christian or not, you have something deep inside you that longs for a connection with God. It is part of being human. Join us for our series, FINDING YOUR WAY BACK TO GOD, and discover that God has not forgotten you. In fact, He’s running to you. February 21 - "There's Got to be More" February 28 - "I Wish I Could Start Over" March 6 - "I Can't Do This On My Own" March 13 - "God Loves Me After All" March 20 - "Now This Is Living!" |
