Restore Church
WE EXIST TO ELEVATE JESUS AND HIS POWER TO RESTORE.
We see in the Bible that a restored life begins with a restored relationship with God. That’s why Jesus came and that is our mission as church. We’re passionate about seeing lives restored, one relationship at a time, where individuals who are living far from God come home to Him and discover the amazing plans He has for their lives.
A Life-Giving Church | We believe Restore Church is a place of empowerment, where individuals and families are enabled to grow strong and flourish in life. We value authentic worship, relevant and practical Bible-based teaching, and the positive change that takes place beyond Sunday morning as we develop honest friendships and share life through community.
A Missions-Driven Church | We believe that our church is a movement and that we are a part of something much bigger than ourselves. We are passionate about sharing the message of Jesus that has powerfully impacted our own lives and we are uniting together on a mission to serve our generation and to bring the life-changing message of Jesus to our city, our nation and the world.
A Generous Church | We believe that our church is here to be a blessing and we want to add value to our community by reaching out with compassion to those who are in need. We love our City and the people in it and we’re committed to using the resources God has given us to serve and bless our community and the organizations that are making a difference in our area.
Following Jesus isn’t just a one-time yes; it’s a daily yes. Jesus said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me” (Luke 9:23–24 NKJV). Every day brings new opportunities to surrender our will, trust His Word, follow His leading, and choose His way over our own.
Wherever God has planted you in this season, let your answer to Him be yes. Yes to His Word. Yes to His Spirit. Yes to His will. Yes to growing, changing, and becoming more like Jesus. When we say yes to Him, we are also saying no to anything that would pull us away from Him. A fruitful life is built on a daily surrender: “Yes, Lord. Wherever You lead, whatever You ask, my answer will be yes.”

Hard seasons don’t have to produce hard hearts. Every season of difficulty presents us with a choice: to become bitter or to become better, to resist God or draw closer to Him. Our Heavenly Father calls us to keep our hearts tender, our ears open to His voice, and our lives responsive to His Word, even when He corrects us.
Hosea 10:12 reminds us to “break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD.” As we seek Him, He softens the hardened places in our hearts so His Word can take root and produce lasting fruit.
Don’t allow difficult seasons to harden your heart. Instead, keep seeking Him, stay teachable, and trust that He is preparing you for everything He has ahead. As you stay tenderhearted, you will find His mercy and grace to bloom right where you’re planted!

We are all stewards of what God has entrusted to us: our time, gifts, calling, relationships, opportunities, finances, health, words, thoughts, and spiritual lives. A wise and faithful steward values where they are and what they have in their hands. Rather than trying to escape our present season, we should ask, “What am I doing with what God has given me?” Faithfulness begins by recognizing that nothing God entrusts to us is insignificant.
“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.” - Zechariah 4:10 NLT
God rejoiced when He saw the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand because it represented obedience, progress, and faithful stewardship. The work was not finished, but Zerubbabel had begun using what was in his hand. Do
not look down on your current season, assignment, or opportunity because it seems small. Value where God has planted you, faithfully steward what He has given you, and trust Him to bring the work to completion!

No matter what season you’re in, God is still at work!
“I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].” - Philippians 1:6 AMPC
Time is one of God’s greatest gifts. Every season has a purpose, and every season is an opportunity to grow. Rather than wishing for a different season, God calls us to make the most of the one we’re in, trusting that He is faithfully accomplishing His work in us as we bloom where we’re planted.
Three keys to being fruitful in your current season:
- Stir Up the Gift That’s in You
Don’t allow the gifts God has placed within you to remain dormant. Stir up your gifts and choose to be on fire!
- Remember Your Calling
Your circumstances may change, but God’s calling on your life remains. Stay faithful where you are, trusting that He is preparing you for what’s ahead.
- Choose to Magnify God
In Psalm 34, David declared, “Oh, magnify the Lord with me,” while he was running for his life. He chose to make God bigger than his circumstances. As we magnify the Lord, our perspective changes, our faith grows, and we become fruitful, even in hard seasons.
Wherever God has planted you, make the most of this season. Trust that He is at work in you, growing your faith, shaping your character, and preparing you for what’s ahead!

This weekend, our longtime friend, Pastor Chris Romine, traveled all the way from Kentucky to deliver a powerful message on the Holy Spirit.
“If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” – John 14:15-18
May we continue to fellowship with and partner with the Holy Spirit, allowing Him to guide not only our daily decisions but also our new lives in Christ!

Freedom Foundations | A Legacy of Faith and Freedom
“We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the LORD, about his power and his mighty wonders… So each generation should set its hope anew on God.”
— Psalm 78:4, 7 (NLT)
This Independence Day weekend, we celebrated the freedoms we enjoy as Americans while remembering that true and lasting freedom is found only in Jesus Christ. He sets us free from sin, shame, fear, and the bondage of our past, giving us new life and a living hope.
Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as our Deliverer, breaking chains, opening doors, and leading His people into freedom. As followers of Christ, we are called to stand firm in the liberty He has given us, never take His blessings for granted, and faithfully pass our faith and hope on to the next generation.
May we continue to build our lives on the foundation of God’s truth, treasure the freedom we have in Christ, and leave a legacy that points others to Him!

This week we continued our Blessed Roots series by looking at the life changing power of God's Word. Just as a tree depends on a constant source of water to grow strong and healthy, we are called to sink our roots deep into the living water of God's Word. As we trust Him, receive His truth, and walk in obedience, His Word refreshes our souls, strengthens our faith, and produces lasting fruit in every season of life.
Psalm 1:1-3 NKJV - Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.
The invitation is simple: stay planted by the rivers of God's Word. Continue receiving it with humility, delighting in it daily, and putting it into practice. Those whose roots remain in His living water will continue to grow in trust, love, contentment, and fruitfulness through every season of life.

This week, we looked at the foundational truth of living rooted and grounded in the love of our Heavenly Father. Just as healthy roots provide strength, stability, and nourishment for a tree, God’s love is the foundation that sustains and strengthens our lives. His love is wider, longer, deeper, and higher than we have yet experienced, and He is continually inviting us to discover more. The more deeply we are rooted in His love, the stronger we become, the more resilient we are in difficult seasons, and the more fruit we are able to produce for His glory.
Ephesians 3:17-19 NKJV - that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what [is] the width and length and depth and height– to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
God never intended for us to simply know about His love. He wants us to live in it, draw from it, and be transformed by it. When we allow our roots to go deep into His love, fear loses its grip, insecurity gives way to confidence, and weariness is replaced with strength. No matter what season you are facing, His love remains constant, sufficient, and available. This week, take time to receive the Father’s love afresh. Spend time in His presence, meditate on His promises, and allow Him to reveal new dimensions of His heart toward you.

LIVING IN GOD’S SHADOW - BLESSED ROOTS | PART 3
“My people will again live under my shade. They will flourish like grain and blossom like grapevines. They will be as fragrant as the wines of Lebanon.”
— Hosea 14:7
Living in God’s shadow means choosing to stay close to Him and allowing His presence to shape every area of our lives, our character, health, family, work, and finances. It is a daily decision to remain near Him, especially during difficult seasons.
When we live under God’s shadow, we experience the peace, joy, provision, protection, and security that only He can provide. But how do we live under God’s shadow?
In this message, Pastor Jordan Gash shares five biblical ways we can remain close to God every day and flourish under the influence of His presence.

When we place our trust in God, we connect ourselves to the endless supply He provides for our lives. As we draw from Him, we find peace, contentment, strength, and stability, not in ourselves or in the things of this world, but in His presence and provision.
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river.” – Jeremiah 17:7–8
This happens as we return to the Lord with all our heart and place our trust and hope in Him, the Fountain of Living Waters. As we stay rooted in Him, His life flows into every area of our lives, producing growth, fruitfulness, and flourishing.
Keep trusting. Keep drawing near. Keep flourishing in this season.

Healthy things grow. The same is true in our spiritual lives. When we focus on developing healthy roots in Christ, growth and fruitfulness will follow. God desires for us to mature, become strong, and bear fruit that makes a difference.
“Even so, every healthy (sound) tree bears good fruit [worthy of admiration].” — Matthew 7:17 AMPC
As we become rooted in who we are in Christ and grounded in His love, He brings growth, transformation, and fruitfulness that impacts every area of our lives. Healthy roots produce healthy fruit!

If there’s going to be a change in our world, land, nation, church, and homes, it must first begin in our hearts.
This is our call to rededicate ourselves to personal righteousness, prayer, and humility before God’s Word.

A message to both men and women. It is time for a generation of Christ followers to arise and shine with courageous faith! In a world filled with compromise and darkness, God is calling His people to stand strong in righteousness, bold in conviction, and full of the Spirit.
This Mother’s Day, we reflected on women of faith like Lois and Eunice, whose sincere faith impacted the next generation for Jesus. Like them, women today are called to be victory bringers, women of courage, prayer, strength, and spiritual influence. Whether you are a mom, wife, daughter, or spiritual mother, God can use your life to help shape generations for His glory.
Men, this is your calling as well. Rise up and lead with courage. Love, bless, and build your families. Stand strong spiritually and help cultivate homes where faith can flourish and the next generation can encounter Jesus.
Together, let us arise in courageous faith, shine brightly for Christ, and impact this generation with the hope, truth, and victory found in Him!

Let’s make a difference together.
In an immoral world, moral courage is essential for spiritual growth. In 2 Chronicles 34, we see how King Josiah made a lasting impact through moral courage. He did not follow the patterns of his family history. He chose to follow the Word of God.
Because of that choice, generational patterns were broken, and a new legacy began.
Our Heavenly Father is calling us to rise, grow strong, and walk in courage, not only for our own lives, but so we can help restore others and influence the next generation.

From prophecy to destiny.
From dream to reality.
From promise to fulfillment.
What happens in the middle?
Along the way, we will face the pressure of discouragement, but we must choose courage.
Discouragement can come through failure, setbacks, and circumstances. But it can also come in the process of doing what is right and good.
So keep reaching. Keep growing. Develop your character. Overcome temptation. Keep pressing forward!
Like 1 Samuel 30, when David faced overwhelming pressure, he encouraged himself in the Lord his God. You can do the same.
Find courage in the promises of God’s Word and be strengthened in His presence. Overcome the discouragement and you will reach the finish!

Getting up does not happen when everything around you changes. It happens when you do.

God never intended His people to live in shame.
Since the garden, shame has caused humanity to hide, withdraw, and lose confidence. Through Jesus, we find freedom from shame, righteousness, and a restored identity.
Through our faith in Christ, we have been empowered to stand before God without shame, to walk confidently in our calling, and to stand firm against the enemy.
This is who we are: a bold generation called to valor.

Who is your first love? First love is not merely the love we had at the beginning – it is the love that always belongs in the first place. Jesus is not asking to be one of the many things we love. He is asking to be the One we love first.
As believers, this is the least we can do. He is the One who loved us first. He is the One who loved us from the beginning. He is the One who loves us most.
“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.”– Romans 5:5–10 NKJV

A message of encouragement and instruction: Jesus is coming. One day we will stand before Him, and those who have faithfully followed the Lord will receive an eternal reward.
On that day, His acknowledgment of your life and works will be the only judgment that truly matters. Not the opinions of friends and not the approval of family, but His.
“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to everyone according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.” - Revelation 22:12–14 NKJV
What should we do until that day? Keep running the race with focus and purpose as we prepare for the Lord’s return.
-
Keep your eyes on Him.
-
Keep your affections on things above.
-
Keep your heart with all diligence.
-
Keep yourself in the love of God.
-
Keep on keeping on.

When pressure comes, we press in! No matter how tough it may feel, when we choose to press in, we experience God’s power, we are refined, and we are transformed, moving from glory to glory.
“I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.” - Philippians 3:14-15 NKJV
Three ways we keep going in times of pressure:
1.Press in through prayer
-
Prioritize being in God’s presence
-
Practice a life of praise
Scripture shows us that moments of opposition are often the moments when prayer becomes most necessary and most powerful. In Nehemiah’s day, the people rebuilt the wall while surrounded by resistance, working with
one hand and holding a weapon in the other, staying alert, prayerful, and dependent on God. The pressure did not stop the work. It drove them deeper into reliance on the Lord.
Jesus modeled this same response in Luke 22. In the greatest moment of pressure He had ever faced, He withdrew to pray. The intensity did not cause Him to retreat. It caused Him to press in. And in that place of
prayer, He committed Himself to the will of the Father and found new strength. Though the trial remained, He rose strengthened, resolved, and ready to walk forward in obedience.
Don’t stop halfway.
Don’t quit under pressure.
Press in, and keep going!

As we follow Jesus into higher ways and greater things, we must choose to keep our eyes forward and resist the pull of returning to anything that no longer belongs to our walk with Him.

New Ground. New Territory. New Growth.
God is calling His people to go higher into new spiritual ground they have never walked in before. Like pioneers, we are invited to leave what is familiar and press forward into the work God is still completing in us (Philippians 1:6). This journey requires faith, courage, and perseverance, but it leads to greater freedom, fruitfulness, and joy in Christ.
As we embrace the following seven higher ways to walk, we can move like pioneers into unfamiliar spiritual territory, and overcome the lower things that once defined us.
1.By faith (2 Corinthians 5:7; Hebrews 11:6)
-
In love (Ephesians 5:1–2; John 13:34–35)
-
In newness of life (Romans 6:4; 2 Corinthians 5:17)
-
In the Spirit (Galatians 5:16, 19–25)
-
As He walked (1 John 2:6; Colossians 2:6–7)
-
In the light (1 John 1:5–7; Ephesians 5:8–11)
7.In the truth (3 John 1:2–4; John 8:31-32)

"One day David asked, “Is anyone in Saul’s family still alive—anyone to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” 2 He summoned a man named Ziba, who had been one of Saul’s servants. “Are you Ziba?” the king asked. “Yes sir, I am,” Ziba replied. The king then asked him, “Is anyone still alive from Saul’s family? If so, I want to show God’s kindness to them.” Ziba replied, “Yes, one of Jonathan’s sons is still alive. He is crippled in both feet.” “Where is he?” the king asked. “In Lo-debar,” Ziba told him, “at the home of Makir son of Ammiel.” So David sent for him and brought him from Makir’s home. His name was Mephibosheth; he was Jonathan’s son and Saul’s grandson. When he came to David, he bowed low to the ground in deep respect. David said, “Greetings, Mephibosheth.” Mephibosheth replied, “I am your servant.” “Don’t be afraid!” David said. “I intend to show kindness to you because of my promise to your father, Jonathan. I will give you all the property that once belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will eat here with me at the king’s table!” Mephibosheth bowed respectfully and exclaimed, “Who is your servant, that you should show such kindness to a dead dog like me?” Then the king summoned Saul’s servant Ziba and said, “I have given your master’s grandson everything that belonged to Saul and his family. You and your sons and servants are to farm the land for him to produce food for your master’s household. But Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, will eat here at my table.” (Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.) Ziba replied, “Yes, my lord the king; I am your servant, and I will do all that you have commanded.” And from that time on, Mephibosheth ate regularly at David’s table, like one of the king’s own sons." - 2 Samuel 9:1-11 NLT

"This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness." - Ephesians 4:17-24 NKJV

But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever]." - *Romans 8:5-6 AMPC

Instead of trusting in our own strength or wits to get out of it, we were forced to trust God totally—not a bad idea since he’s the God who raises the dead! And he did it, rescued us from certain doom. And he’ll do it again, rescuing us as many times as we need rescuing…" - 2 Corinthians 1:10-11 MSG
