Restoration Life Church

Sermon Teaser:
The church is a masterpiece! It is a family, made up of believers from all walks of life, woven into a marvelous tapestry of unity that puts God's glory on display! What could possibly ruin such a great work of God? Several things. These things start off looking good, but end up tearing the tapestry apart. Divisive people who are driven by their own desires; being too close to evil and weakening our unity through abrasion, and low expectations of our God! These are the things we must watch out for! How do we spot them, and how does the church stay strong and healthy? Join us this Sunday and find out!

SERMON TEASER:
What does it take to be considered worthy of being noticed? What kind of person do you think of from your life - who are your heroes? We often think of these folks as more amazing than ourselves, and we want to be like them; often times we fear we will never live up to their examples to us. It would be easy to assume that if someone was good enough to be recommended by Paul, that person must be amazing! He or she must be the very best of the teachers, or the disciple-makers, or the chief of servants.....but that isn't what Paul describes! He describes the people he wants to see honored, and they are a lot more like you and I than we would ever think! And that should motivate us! We should remember that we are just as capable of serving Christ well as those who came before us. So what did the people do who earned Paul's good favor? Come and see this Sunday!
