November 10, 2024 • David K. Crawford • Luke 14:15–24
It has always been at the center. Ministry happens at the table-breaking bread and breaking down walls. A mundane but miraculous backdrop of meal, conversations, and memories. There is a table set and a feast is being prepared. The question is do you have a seat at the table?
Breaking the Cycle
David K. Crawford • Galatians 5:1
Have you ever wanted to break a negative cycle? In Sunday’s message, Pastor David will teach us how we can stop making excuses for our cycles, be aggressive in living free from bad cycles, and ultimately let cycles go through the power of Christ Jesus.
Surviving the 2024 Election
November 3, 2024 • David K. Crawford • Romans 12:2
How do you have the mind of Christ during an election? How do you survive an election without losing your sanity, or losing your sleep, or losing your soul? All of the news channels that we see on TV and radio and on the internet, they've all become de facto political channels because that's all they seem to talk about anymore.
And as a result, politics has come to dominate our conversations. It's led to an exaggerated importance of politics.
The Residue of Rejection
David K. Crawford
God not only wants to be my helper but has also created me to help others. If I were to summarize everybody's purpose in life, it would be to help someone else. If we are going to carry out this sacred duty, we must embrace a reality communicated in the Gospel of Matthew.
Exhausted Yet Pursuing
David K. Crawford
Our message from Pastor David this week is about how we can keep fighting for what we want, even when it feels like too much. He reminds us that even though it can be hard to stay motivated, God's Word will give us the strength and courage to press on.
When Do We Get to Do the Stuff?
David K. Crawford
Restoration Church is a hospital, not a waiting room for those who have arrived. It’s a hospital for those who are broke, busted, and disgusted. We are not a cruise ship where you get it your way; we are battleships. In this message, Pastor David challenges us to align our lives to Biblical mandates.
A Fresh Start
December 31, 2023 • David K. Crawford
The Old and New Testaments are filled with examples of God giving people a fresh start because God is the God of second chances. He's the God of new beginnings. He's the God of starting over. He's the God of beginning again. He's the God who specializes in giving people fresh starts. Learn how you can make a fresh start in this message.
Small Tweaks Lead to Giant Peaks
July 7, 2024 • David K. Crawford • 2 Kings 4:1–7
You may be just a little tweak away. Small tweaks can lead to giant peaks, little things make a big difference, a tweak in the right direction can land you in the right destination.
Zero to Hero
June 30, 2024 • David K. Crawford • Judges 6:11–18
Today, the gap between where we are and where we want to be can seem like an ocean. In this message, Pastor David gives some powerful principles from the story of Gideon to bridge the gap.
Nobody Saw That Coming!
June 23, 2024 • David K. Crawford • 1 Samuel 17:48–51
God does His deepest work in your life when He deals with your identity. You have been called, created, and commissioned to be the exception. In this message, Pastor David gives some powerful battle strategies.
Thank God for the Fleas
July 28, 2024 • David K. Crawford • John 15:11
Now, if you’re saved and you don’t have joy, there’s something very wrong. A joyless Christian is a contradiction in terms. God’s plan for you is that you have joy. But, not ordinary joy, He wants you to have full joy, constant joy, conspicuous (visible, obvious, clear) joy, and contagious joy.
Daylight Comes After Midnight
August 4, 2024 • David K. Crawford • Acts 16:16–25
There are places where we are losing where we could be winning not because we don't have the talent, the skill, the intelligence, or the capability. There are places where we are losing where we could be winning because we don't have the focus. Many times, if not most times the difference between a breakdown and a breakthrough is focus.
The Love of a Father
June 16, 2024 • David K. Crawford • Ephesians 5:1–2
We are not talking about luxuries here; we're talking about necessities. We need a generation of godly men who understand the importance of being an influential godly father.
Where are the Nine?
June 9, 2024 • David K. Crawford • Luke 17:11–19
Ten people encounter Jesus powerfully, but only one leaves with all that God had intended for them.
This story powerfully reveals that many people can have the same encounter with Jesus but not walk away with the same change.
I'm Looking for a Breakthrough
May 26, 2024 • David K. Crawford • Matthew 17:14–21
Why is it that you haven't seen a breakthrough? It's because, in most cases, you're trying to meet a need or relieve a hurt with something besides God's grace and power.
