Psalm 5: The Overflow of the Heart

Pastor Chris Ansell of Restoration Community Church will take the next few weeks to engage the first five Psalms. This week we look at Psalm 3.

Psalm 2: God's Sense of Humor

The Fully Orbed Christian Life

Dave Bindewald delivers the message at Restoration Community Church this week. He reminded us that regardless of what we might see in the night sky, the moon is always fully orbed. So too, regardless of what our daily experience might feel like, we have the fully orbed love of God in our lives.
