God's Restoration

Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Jul 31, 2014

The Bible tells us in Exodus 23: 26 that “There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

The question now is why do Christians miscarry their blessings, why are there so much barrenness in the Christendom? If your life is not in agreement with Exodus 23:26, it means that the devil has stolen the original purpose and has replaced it with his counterfeit which he has the right to take ...read more

Freedom's Restoration Series

Restore The Joy

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 21, 2017

An analysis of Psalm 51 and what it truly means to ask God for forgiveness of sin.

There’s a modern-day proverb that says: “To err is human. And so is denying responsibility and avoiding an admission of guilt.” Why is it so tough to own up to our mistakes? There’s nothing new or modern about sin and the need for repentance. Tonight, we will look at perhaps the most classic ...read more

Gentle Restoration

Contributed by Ron Hietsch on Jul 1, 2016

The object of all admonition is the restoration of a person at odds with God because of persistent, intentional, defiant, high handed sin. We would warn someone about a physical danger. We also need to warn about spiritual danger.l

Pentecost 7 Year C July 3, 2016 Text Galatians 6:1 Brothers, ( And Sisters ) if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the spirit should restore that person gently.

Restoring Relationships

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 4, 2016

Paul's letter to Philemon gives us solid timeless principles in restoring broken relationships. As Paul paid for Onesimus' sin, so Christ pays for ours, thus restoring us to God. Because we have been forgiven much, we need to forgive others.

Philemon Restoring Relationships I’d like to take a little survey this morning: Who here has never had a relationship challenge? Ah ha, I thought so. Today’s subject “Restoring Relationships,” is for all of us. As we seek to live a Christian life, does our faith have any ...read more

Joy Is Restored Series

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 17, 2017

Sorrow is but for a time. The power of prayer, memories of God’s past healing and His loving-kindness sustain Israel. God heals the pain of the present in the same manner as He has healed the pain of the past.

Joy is the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying: it is keen pleasure, or elation. Joy is more elusive, subtle, and nuanced than happiness. We can manipulate circumstances to our own advantage to obtain what we think will bring happiness, or ...read more

Peace Is Restored Series

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 17, 2017

Shalom is God’s peace made alive in the life of the believer. It guides, comforts, quiets, restores and sustains, regardless of life circumstances. Shalom is found nowhere apart from God.

It is possible not to see it, to miss it, to turn just as it brushes past you. And you begin to grasp what it was you missed, like Moses in the cleft of the rock, watching God's [back] fade in the distance. So stay. Sit. Linger. Tarry. Ponder. Wait. Behold. Wonder. There will be time enough for ...read more

Hope Is Restored Series

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 17, 2017

Hope is oriented toward what God is doing; wishing is oriented toward what we are doing. Choose hope—hope is living in anticipation of what God is going to do next.

Webster defines a patriot as one “who loves and loyally or zealously supports one's own country”. By that definition, Asaph (author of Ps. 80), was both patriot and man of God, burdened for his country. Among all nations of the world, Israel was/is God's crown jewel. For hundreds of years she ...read more

The Restorer Of Hope Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 6, 2018

God is a Giver of life and a restorer of hope. Crisis in life pushes us to look up to God and help us know Him in ways we cannot otherwise.
