Where is God right now?  Right up until the end of the Old Testament there was a clear answer to the question: He was in the Temple. But as the Old Testament came to a close the answer became more and more vague. The people of God began to wonder whether God was with them at all.  The New Testament, then, is largely an exploration of the true temple. Where God really is. So join us as Gabriel and...

God walks with Adam in the Garden. God dwells in the tabernacle. God fills Solomon’s temple with glory so thick the priests can’t stand. Then… God leaves. And the Old Testament ends with the haunting question: Will He ever come back?

“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1 packs more theology into 18 verses than most books do in 18 chapters.

A lone messenger appears on the horizon. The watchmen on Jerusalem’s walls see him first—running, breathless, with news. Not just news of military victory, but something far greater: “Your God reigns!” The watchmen erupt in joyful song. The whole city, holding its breath in captivity, suddenly explodes with hope.

“Repent and believe in the gospel.” We’ve heard it a thousand times. But what gospel was Jesus preaching in Mark 1? He hadn’t died yet. There was no cross, no empty tomb, no resurrection to proclaim.

Gabriel and Sonny unpack Jesus’ first sermon and reveal that the gospel has always been about God’s kingdom...

Welcome to Season 4 of RestorationCast! We’re shifting gears from weird Bible stories to exploring the Kingdom of God—and we’re starting at the foundation: How do we actually read Scripture well?
