The Everyday Identity Crisis

The Everyday Identity Crisis

On Saturday mornings, often the first thing I see when I open my eyes is my son, shaking me awake at an hour when he (and the rest of the world) should be asleep. I love the sight of it, as tired as I may be. There's sunlight pouring through the blinds on the window...

What Are City Groups All About?

What is a City Group? City Groups are our expression of community at Restoration. We believe Church is far more than an hour on Sundays, and we desire to see every person in our Church get connected in life-giving community and mission. That’s what City Groups are for...

When I Stopped Worshiping Worship

When I Stopped Worshiping Worship

It was November of 2009, and I found myself in a town called Ranchi in northeastern India. We were visiting a church in a small village outside a large city where we were visitors for their service. The church building was made of clay and had no electricity - nothing...
