Arise and Build-Part 1

As we enter 2026, I want to share what I sense the Holy Spirit is saying to Restoration Life Church. After taking intentional time between Christmas and New Year to seek the Lord, I believe He is calling us into a significant season marked by three clear themes: a reset, a return to the foundation of Christ and the kingdom assignment He has given us, and the beginning of a seminal season that will shape our future for years to come. This is not about a new vision or a new mission, but about being stirred afresh by way of reminder—realigning our hearts, priorities, and practices with what God has already established. At the center of this season is a renewed focus on Jesus Christ as the true and only foundation of the church. Christ must remain the center of our message, our identity, our unity, our ministry methods, and our discipleship. Flowing from that, I believe we are entering a seminal season—a formative, seed-planting window of time in which God is working beneath the surface to establish truths, convictions, and direction that will govern the years ahead. Much of what God does in this season will be internal before it becomes visible, but if stewarded well, it will produce lasting fruit. In this message, I want to walk us through what that means, why it matters, and how we can faithfully respond together.
