Hebrews 11:1-3 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

This past week has been a whirlwind for sure. We went from having a building option that would work but was far less than ideal, to meeting an amazing group of saints who were kingdom minded, and happily asked the question, “what is the best thing we can do for the Lord?” This is an amazing opportunity that God put together right when we needed it the most.

Looking at the history of Restore, this is the fourth time we have been asked to find a new place to worship. And each time God has come through. We have been provided a place that is a little bigger and a little better. While these past few months we have been wracked with anxiety and sleepless nights looking back we can see how God has been putting things in motion that outshine any of our expectations

Our hope and prayer is that with this move we are going to the place where we will plant our flag, that this will be the place our kids can point to as the church they grew up in. Through all the moves one thing has remained true, Restore is a community of people that care about one another. A barn, a school, a building that sits on partially condemned land it didn’t matter because the community of Restore is what’s important. As we move forward, let’s take this small pearl we’ve found and bring more people in to see it. We know the love we have so let’s share it with everyone we know.

We all were lost, and we are found, no one can stop us or slow us down. We are the named and we are known, we know that we'll never walk alone. Ten days ago, our future looked very different from what it looks like today. Our future was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

Remember this as a time you saw God working.
