Sermons About Restoration
The Office and the Jobsite
As a result of Adam's rebellion, work in this world is cursed and frustrated. Everyone experiences work environments that are frustrating because the created order is corrupted and our relationships within the workplace are corrupted. We also work in corrupt ways. We are lazy and disrespectful to employers. Furthermore, rather than stewarding creation as God's representatives, we abuse and mistreat created order. In Christ, work is restored to God's original intent as we perform it uprightly, with aim to His glory, and stewarding His earth in righteousness.

Restoration of the Mind (Ephesians 4:17-24)
Restoring our minds is similar to restoring furniture. You strip the layers, you stain it and then you seal it. It took me two years to restore my husband’s great aunt’s sewing machine. In restoring furniture first, we have to strip away the years of wear and tear – the paint, the dirt and the grime. As we pass through life, we experience things that affect our minds, both right and wrong. We must strip away those wrong thinking patterns. There are thousands upon thousands of thoughts presented to us every day through words and images, from media and people. How do we respond to them?

We are Made in God's Likeness
We typically find our worth in man's approval, our pay grade, our athleticism, our beauty, etc. But our true value and intrinsic worth is because we reflect the Creator of the universe. We are made in God's likeness. This likeness to God is corrupted in Adam but restored through Christ.

motion
MOTION: noun - the action or process of moving or being moved. When it comes to our lives we all want to have momentum but there will be no momentum if don't courageously get into motion. Jesus did not say to the disciples, "come and stand by me". He said, "come and follow me". Nehemiah 2:11-20 chronicles a man whom God has stirred and has been set in in motion. We must embrace with Nehemiah that our faith is meant to be active.

The Lord Sustained Me
Have you ever really blown it? I mean really blown it big time and then the consequences set in. Usually at that point we resign ourselves to the idea that we are on our own. What would God want to do with someone like me? I am a wicked and sinful person. It is easy to develop that kind of attitude when we are justly suffering in the consequences of our own sin. Yet as we look at the third Psalm we see that as David was very much in this situation his response was to cry out to God and take real confidence in His grace and mercy. This is a lesson that we need to learn as well.

Love's Confrontation
When John's account of Jesus' life and his suffering for sin was completed by his relating the resurrection it still was not over. The last chapter of his Gospel is the perfect capstone. After all, the Gospel is so much more than just a great story of sacrifice, it is the real benefit of that sacrifice the is demonstrated as Jesus seeks out Peter and brings him to the place of realizing the magnitude of his sin and the magnitude of Jesus' forgiveness. This is the part of the story that we need not just to hear but experience!
