Restoration Church - Chicago, IL

We have not only been given eternal life through our faith in Jesus, which in itself is more than what we deserve, but our Heavenly Father has also declared us as righteous and justified before all of creation.  Let’s encourage each other to share this amazing Good News and live as people who have been justified from guilt, shame, lies, or condemnation of this world.  Live truly as followers of Je...

Take comfort in knowing that God is always with us, through our salvation, because it is in His nature and His character! We have been reconciled with our Living God the moment we repent and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. We have become one with the God of the universe just as Jesus is one with the Father (Jn 17:21-23).

Let us all have complete assurance of our Salvation through Jesus! It is because our lives as Christians are dependent upon our understanding of the Salvation we have received through Jesus. The more assurance we have of our position as God’s people, the more we will be able live with conviction and boldness in following God’s word. Therefore, as we live each day with the Assurance of our Salvatio...

Thank you Steve for reminding us that we are saved from death, slavery, and condemnation STRICTLY because of God’s great love for us. It is by grace, through faith, that we have salvation so no one can boast in their own good works.

Thank you to Cindy Booth for her encouragement through the story of Jacob to set up memorial pillars in order to remind us of the promises that God has made.

Thank you Jesus for this incredible journey as we reach our 2nd birthday! Our desire is to praise God and keep on preaching the Good news! Restoration is celebrated when Jesus is glorified and lifted up. Therefore, we will always celebrate Him until Jesus is glorified everywhere!

Vanessa preached on the Holy Spirit and reminded us that the Holy Spirit is God. The Bible teaches He is a seal, guaranteeing our inheritance, our advocate and helper and we are to live continuously filled by the Spirit! John 7:38 says, “Whoever believes in me, as scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” Its through a deep trust in Jesus that living waters will flow...

Man was made for worship, and our lives will be formed and molded by what we consciously or unconsciously choose to worship. When we worship God, it transforms us and causes us to greater reflect His character and His ways.

The Kingdom of God, which we can only have through Jesus Christ, is worth far more than anything we have possessed or ever will. Let’s not lose sight of our eternal inheritance through keeping our focus on the King and His Kingdom.

Our respective local church family is where God has specifically and intentionally put us for this season. Jesus is building His Church through us serving Him within our local church family. It is where we grow and mature together. We are committing to being part of His plan and serving Jesus when we commit to the local church family and serve Him by bringing forth our time, gifting, and finance.

Healing through aligning your life with the word.

God instructed ALL followers of Jesus Christ, through Paul, to commit ourselves to prayer, to pray that God may open doors for the message of the mystery of Christ, and to pray for us to share it clearly. These instructions are from our Heavenly Father’s desire to communicate with us and for others to know His love for the world.

We are called to live differently as followers of Jesus! This passage provides instructions on the roles and functions for different members within the family. The one over-arching objective is to live for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ regardless of our different roles.

We are now royalty, through Jesus, living in the Kingdom of God. Let's clothe ourselves with outfits deserving of people who are holy, chosen, and dearly loved. These are the outfits of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, love, peace, and thankfulness.

When we focus on the love and goodness of our magnificent God, it will be easier for us to rid ourselves of the “earthly nature”. Having an understanding/revelation of Who Jesus is and His sacrifice for us will give us the strength and courage to put on our “new self”. Thank you Jesus!

As we set our hearts and minds to be with Jesus, let our hearts be the compass that points toward Jesus and our minds be the path that takes us to be with our King Jesus. Let’s encourage each other to be steadfast and stay on course in the knowledge that we are always protected by the mighty King of the universe.

Recognizing, revealing, and responding to the God of the impossible in our lives.

Sometimes our understanding and expectations of God's plan for our life contradicts our life experience. When our hope is deferred and disappointment sets in, we can be tempted to turn away from Jesus, But, His love will not allow us to become derailed from His call on our lives. He will pursue us and restore us.

Luke 15 speaks to the heart of God for the lost and the great lengths He would go to for them to be saved. We are also called to share the love of Jesus with those around us and make room in our hearts for those who do not know Him!

We are called to be followers of Jesus Christ.  As we reflect the true image and love of Jesus to those around us, others will come to truly know the church of Jesus Christ.
