The Restoration Of Hope

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 3, 2011

To wish is about what we want from God; hope is waiting for that which God wants for us.

Eugene Peterson (Living the Message: Daily Help for Living the God-Centered Life) points out that what a lot of people call hope is in reality something different. It’s wishing, not hoping: and wishing and hoping are not the same thing. "Wishing," Peterson says, "is something all of us do. It ...read more

Restoring Resources Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Nov 10, 2007

God created material things for us to use to glorify Him. The problem is, we have placed His stuff in the wrong account. We have taken God’s stuff out of His glory account and transferred it to our materialism account. And when it’s in our account, it’

Restoring A Remnant Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Nov 17, 2007

God is all powerful but He chooses to accomplish His work through people. While God’s desire is for all to respond to Him, the fact is that only a remnant will. But in that remnant, God provides the kinds of people it takes to accomplish His work.

Contributed by Jim Drake on Dec 1, 2007

Many people think all that’s involved in being a Christian is walking an aisle or praying a prayer. That might be how God called you to salvation, but that’s not the end of it. Responsibilities come with being a Christian.

Paul’s explanation of our hope in Jesus Christ

Intro: why is Easter,(Resurrection Sunday) the most important day of the year.

A Restored Vision

Contributed by Blake Inscore on Sep 26, 2008

I believe it is God’s desire for His church to begin seeking Him today so that we can catch HIS vision for what He wants to do through HIS Church.

Introduction: It is sad to say; but many churches have turned away from the original vision God gave to them. I have never been part of a church that hasn’t struggled with that in some manner. But just because we may lose sight for a time of “who” we are, and “what” God has called us to do ...read more

Restoring The Broken Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 30, 2007

When you let the natural nature of the human heart take over you don’t go from bad to good you go from bad to worse. Yet in the midst of a tragic story we find tremendous hope.

The events of Judges 19-21 probably represent the worst of the worst of the history of Israel. They happened, surprisingly, not long after Joshua passed away signaling, I think, the fact that shortly after conquering the Promised Land, the people fell away quickly into idolatry which then infected ...read more

Restore The Overtaken

Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 27, 2013

Spiritually mature Christians have the responsibility to aid Christians overtaken by sin.

There is no doubt that the greatest joy of being a Christian is seeing those who had wonder far from God come back home.
