Hello, My Name Is Restoration

Restoration

Hello, My Name Is Restoration

September 13, 2026 by jeffstapleton

Have you ever looked back at a season of your life and wondered, “How do I get back what I lost?” Whether through broken relationships, poor decisions, suffering, or years spent running in the wrong direction, we all know what it feels like to face wasted time and painful regret. In the book of Joel, God meets a people devastated by total loss and speaks a promise that seems impossible: “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten.” True restoration isn’t found in self-effort, quick fixes, or empty religious performance, but in returning with all our heart to a God who is gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in love. No matter how broken your past or present may feel, your story isn’t over—God specializes in taking our rubble, redeeming our wasted years, and writing a new story of hope and healing.

Come to the Table

August 10, 2026 by jeffstapleton

This week, we explore the ancient prayer known as the Shema from Deuteronomy 6. Discover how God continually invites us to His table—not just to hear His word, but to be formed and transformed in the ordinary, everyday moments of life. Whether you are navigating broken relationships, seeking deeper faith, or trying to understand your […]

Get Up & Walk

April 23, 2026 by jeffstapleton

Have you become so familiar with brokenness that it feels normal? This week, we explore the powerful story of the lame man at the Beautiful Gate and the radical restoration offered through the name of Jesus. We often sit at the gate of our lives expecting just enough to get by, but God invites us […]

In Between The Table & Betrayer

March 22, 2026 by jeffstapleton

At the Last Supper, two men sat at the same table, heard the same warnings, and received the same grace—yet they responded to their failures in completely different ways. In this message, we explore the tension between fellowship and treachery, and the vital difference between remorse and repentance. Whether you feel like you’ve drifted away […]

That Unexpected Life

March 8, 2026 by jeffstapleton

Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect. In this message from the Redeemed Life series, we explore how the gospel speaks into broken relationships, divorce, and unexpected seasons of life. Scripture reminds us that our identity is not defined by our past but by the redemption we have in Christ.

That Young & Free Life

February 15, 2026 by jeffstapleton

The way we show up in relationships is shaped by how we are raised and the relationships that formed us. When sin entered the world, brokenness affected families, and ever since, that has changed how we engage with others in relationships. God’s redemption provides a way out of the brokenness life brings.
