We are concluding our series titled 'Different' where, in the context of our five-year anniversary as Restoration, we've been exploring our core values, and what makes us a little different. As believers, we are called to live in community with others, and at Restoration we say that a believer without a congregational home is a contradiction. God has given each one of us a specific set of gifts and talents, and our purpose is to use those to bless and serve others, and further the Kingdom of God here on earth. And when we come together and use our gifts toward one common purpose, we can have greater impact than any one of us individually, because we are better together.

The commandments in the Torah and the New Testament are for everyone but maybe not in the way you've been taught. In part 3 of the series Different we examine why the commandments are for everyone who follow Yeshua.
You're Invited To The Best Party Ever
March 9, 2019 • Matt Rosenberg
In Yeshua's most famous story, commonly known as the Prodigal Son, we look at the three characters, the father, the younger brother and the elder brother. A better name for the story would be The Two Lost Brothers. Younger brothers, the one's who spend all they have, and Elder Brothers, the ones who do everything right, are actually equally lost. They are both trying to be there own http://saviors...but the father invites them both to the best party ever so he can give them both what they don't deserve. Which brother are you? It may not be as clear as you hope!
Why Messianic Judaism Matters For Everyone
March 2, 2019 • Matt Rosenberg
Messianic Judaism is different. The modern Messianic Movement has been wrestling with our identity for over 100 years. Can there really be Jewish followers of Jesus who maintain Jewish identity? Does Jewish identity even matter in Messiah? Is there supposed to be a distinction between Jew and Gentile in Messiah?
At Restoration one of our core values is the reflect the Jewishness of Yeshua and we believe that everyone, especially followers of Jesus, need to understand why Messianic Judaism matters for everyone.
