Discover the profound pattern—the shadow and the reality—of the Passover lamb. The parallels between the Passover sacrifice and Yeshua are undeniable. The sacrificial system was never meant to be replaced; it pointed to Him. As both High Priest and sacrifice, Yeshua offered Himself and received His own blood as covering for His people. Watch The Passover Lamb, Part 1 as we begin the celebration of...

As we conclude the Scroll of Exodus, Pastor Trent Siverson explores mountaintop encounters with God. In Scripture, mountains symbolize where heaven and earth meet, revealing God’s plan to restore His presence in the world. Jesus’ mountain experiences remind us that we are called to bring His blessings to the valleys of life. Watch Mountain Experiences to learn how to be a conduit of God’s Eden ble...

The God of Israel revealed Himself to Moses as compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, overflowing with loyal love, and full of truth. Of these five attributes, two—grace and truth—are used to describe Yeshua, summarizing the fullness of God’s character revealed to Moses. Yeshua is the glory of God made known to Israel for the salvation of the whole world. Watch the “Glory of God” to learn more...

Impersonating God seeks control; imitating Him reflects His character. Like the Golden Calf, our self-made identities replace Him. Instead, we must trust Yeshua, the true image of God, and be transformed into His likeness. Learn to imitate God by wathcing “Imitators of God” right now!

God is always with us, even when we can't see or feel His presence. And sometimes, the difficult and painful experiences we go through can lead us to greater joy and growth in the end. It's like God is throwing a party for us, inviting us to embrace all of life's ups and downs and celebrate the journey. This Purim, amidst the chaos of the world, we must strive to "See God Anyway." Let us show you...

Yeshua is both King and High Priest, like Melchizedek—fulfilling both roles in one person. He didn’t replace the Levitical system but revealed its heavenly pattern. By His blood, He opened the way for us to approach God’s throne with confidence. Watch High Priest of Heaven to understand Yeshua as Priest and King!

God has always desired to dwell with His people—not from a distance, but as a neighbor. From the tabernacle to His indwelling Spirit today, His invitation remains the same: to live in His presence as He dwells in yours. Watch Won’t You Be My Neighbor? and discover how God wants to be at the center of your life. Will you welcome Him in? Link: https://restoration. subspla.sh/58mnr6c #thehappyrabbi #...

Chris Manginelli, Pastor of Mill Creek Foursquare Church and friend of Restoration, shares an encouraging word from the New Testament book of Philippians and how to apply Paul's words to our lives today! Link: https://restoration. subspla.sh/ctfjwwy #RestorationSeattle

The Ten Commandments begin with “I am the Lord your God” and conclude with “Your neighbor.” They summarize the rest of the Torah for Israel, highlighting our unique identity as a holy nation and God’s special treasure. Since the Exodus, being God’s treasured possession has involved being holy and distinct. How can we live as part of a chosen people in a world that often overlooks God? Watch this w...

In wilderness situations, it’s common to feel stuck and to complain. However, God encourages us to move forward. Complaining can trap us in resentment, while lamenting allows for growth. If you're going through a difficult season, remember that God isn't judging you; instead, He wants to draw you closer to Him. The Lord will accompany you in the wilderness, helping you build trust for every season...

Passover marks the beginning of the year, both liturgically and agriculturally, symbolizing new creation and the start of God's people. Through the Exodus, God saved and redeemed us, fulfilling His promises to the patriarchs and matriarchs. Passover serves as a memorial and reenactment of the Exodus, inviting us to actively participate, not just as readers, but as part of the story. Each celebrati...

God revealed Himslef to Israel and to Egypt in the Exodus. This event marks a significant moment in world history, as God promises to make Israel His people and to be their God. Our desire is to know God and to make Him known as the God who keeps His promises. At Restoration, we encourage people to embrace four key promises from Exodus: Know God, Find Community, Discover Identity, and Make a Diffe...

You can fulfill the purpose God designed for you and embrace your true self! Even if you feel lost, you can be found in Him. Remember, you are not self-made; we all struggle with understanding who we are and who God is. The key point is this: God sees you, hears you, and knows you better than you know yourself. Allow Him to define your identity. You are created by God, shaped by both nature and nu...

Joseph died in Egypt and made his descendants promise to take his bones to the Promised Land. While he didn't see all of God's promises fulfilled in his lifetime, he trusted in God's faithfulness, right down to his very bones. If God doesn’t answer your prayers as you wish, remember that His goodness isn’t determined by your circumstances—He is good regardless. Have faith that He will fulfill His...

A "Vayigash" moment (Hebrew for "he approached") presents us with a choice: to draw near to God or to retreat. These moments cannot be created by us; only God can bring them into our lives. If you feel distant from God, ask Him for a Vayigash moment so you can feel His presence. He desires closeness with you. The same principle applies to our relationships. If you want to heal broken connections,...

The book of Ruth concludes with a genealogy that traces the lineage to King David. For a thousand years, the people of Israel awaited a figure who would sit on David's throne forever. The Gospel of Matthew emphasizes David's significance and reveals that Yeshua, his descendant, is the One for whom Israel had been waiting. The King has finally arrived! Be sure to watch "Filled Full," a message from...

Nothing can separate you from the love of God. Throughout the Scriptures, He is known as our Goel, or Redeemer. Blessings are not based on whether you deserve them; instead, they are available to everyone from any nation who surrenders to the God of Israel and recognizes that all blessings come from Him. Be sure to watch "God is the Source of Blessing," a message from the book of Ruth, during the...

We don’t wrestle with God; we wrestle with fear. You need to stop wrestling with fear because if you don’t, God may show up and punch you in the groin, just like He did with Jacob! Instead of fighting fear, trust that while you wait for God to change your circumstances, He is also working to change you. We often resist change and try to protect ourselves, which leads us to create plans based on ou...

The model we are meant to emulate—the original image of God—is Yeshua, our Messiah, who is also the King of Israel. He is a true Israelite, descended from Abraham and Sarah, Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob and Leah, Judah and Tamar, David and Bathsheba, and Joseph and Miriam. Yeshua represents the connection between heaven and earth in human form. He stands on a "Stairway to Heaven," calling out to you:...

Many people are familiar with only a sanitized, children's version of the Bible, which often omits themes like murder, deception, sex, and jealousy. When we compare ourselves to biblical heroes, we forget they are human too, reflecting our own sins and need for God. Watch "Expectant Patience" to learn the significance of waiting for the Lord to act and the dangers of using deception to try and spe...

Rivkah, a Gentile from a non-chosen people, was called to leave her familiar life to help perpetuate Abraham's family and share in the blessing. She recognized her source of help. In times of hopelessness, remember that the ultimate helper, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, is always there. Stay open to the unexpected ways in which help can come. Watch "Help Comes From The Lord" right now! Link: http...

God prepares us for success by guiding us through failure, as seen in His relationship with Abraham during the Binding of Isaac. Abraham's struggles strengthened his faithfulness as God's covenant partner. While God is committed to His plans for us, we often distract ourselves by trying to create our own versions of Eden. Instead of trying to control everything, we should surrender our plans to Ad...

God's first speach to Abraham includes a promise to make him a great nation while his wife is barren. God is the only one who can speak things into being! Life from non-life. He has already done it many times from Creation, to the flood, to the tower of Babylon, to the family of Abraham and he wants to do speak life over you with an invitation into His family! Watch "The Family of God" part 2 of o...

We are all human, created in God's image and infused with His breath. Humanity is unique, designed to bring goodness into a world filled with darkness and chaos. Understanding the image of God is crucial in our study of the Torah, as it influences how we treat everyone. Watch this week’s message to learn how to balance our beliefs with compassion, even toward those we disagree with, who are also m...
