Dec 3 Attributes of God | Sovereignty

In this sermon, Pastor Dan continues our series on the Attributes of God by talking about God's sovereign will and sovereign Power. As we know, there is a tendency in humans to elevate ourselves and diminish God. Thus, it is critical that we continually renew our focus on God as He has revealed Himself in His Word. Remembering who God is, reminds us how great He is and how much we need him. For believers, this leads us to fulfill the first and great commandment to recognize God and delight in Him with the whole of our being. For the lost, seeing the greatness of God is an opportunity to recognize that they have sinned against this great God and need Him to atone for their sins and restore them to God. In some cases, the lost rebel against God all the more. But, in every case, the glory of God is proclaimed.

Take some time to remember the Greatness of God as it relates to His sovereign will and sovereign power. Maybe follow-up by listening to the other sermons in this series as well!

The Five Solas

Pastor Dan took us through Hebrews 11 to remind us of the doctrine of salvation by faith alone. We took some time to cite “The Five Solas” of the Reformation and then proceeded to follow Hebrews 11 as the author of Hebrews traces the doctrine of salvation by faith from creation to present.

Restoration is a church in Amherst, OH that is designed for people who feel like they don't fit in at church. We exist to glorify God by making disciples together. We are different than a lot of churches. Instead of a large building and a lot of programming, we keep it simple. Our church meets in coffeehouses, bars, parks, and homes to keep cost low and maximize our ability to connect people with God and each other. For an understanding of simple church, we recommend reading Simple/House Church Revolution by Roger Thoman. Download it free here.

At Restoration, we believe that people matter more than programs. We don't offer a lot of activities to keep you busy; we offer relationships to make you whole. Have you ever gone to a church with good music and good teaching but where no one would notice if you were gone? We don't let that happen, because we have a lot of small groups rather than one large one (though we sometimes get everyone together for special times of worship, teaching, and prayer). It is hard to be forgotten when everybody knows your name.

You may be searching for meaning or for help in the midst of some crisis. You may be searching for answers or just for meaningful relationships. Either way, you might find what you are looking for here.
