    Colton Moore - Jesus’ High Return Investment Strategy

    Colton Moore - March 8th 2026 How you spend your money reveals what your heart values—and who you’re really friends with. In this special gathering, as Restored says goodbye to this space and prays over Colton and Mallerie Moore and the Restored West Valley church plant team, Colton brings a timely message from Luke 16:1–18. Through Jesus’ surprising parable of the dishonest manager, he shows that this is not a lesson in shady business ethics, but a warning against making terrible investments with the resources God has entrusted to us. Colton unpacks Luke’s unique emphasis on the socioeconomic impact of Jesus’ lordship—how the kingdom of God is especially good news for the poor, the overlooked, the stigmatized, and the outsider. Jesus teaches that worldly people often show more urgency and shrewdness in securing their temporary future than disciples do in investing for eternity. The call is not to buy salvation with money, but to use worldly wealth in ways that echo into eternal dwellings: caring for the vulnerable, practicing hospitality, supporting gospel work, and investing in people whose spiritual debts only Jesus can pay. This message also exposes why this is so hard for us: we cannot serve both God and money. Jesus confronts our disordered hearts not to shame us, but to free us from a heavier burden and invite us into a lighter one under His lordship. Colton reminds us that we are the real debtors in the story—and that Jesus, the only perfectly faithful manager, didn’t merely reduce our debt, but paid it in full with His righteous blood. When that hospitality and generosity of Christ truly reaches the heart, it reshapes how we see our money, our neighbors, and the kingdom of God. The invitation of this sermon is not “do better, try harder,” but come as you are to Jesus, receive His hospitable love, and let His generosity transform you into the kind of person who welcomes others the same way. In a new space and a new season, this is a call for the church to be marked by the hospitality, generosity, and evangelistic love of Jesus.

    The King & His Kingdom: #96 - Greatness | Matthew 20:20-28

    Tom Logue - March 1st 2026 True greatness isn’t found in status or success—it’s found in serving others, just as Jesus served us. In this message from Matthew 20:20–28, Tom continues our King & His Kingdom series and explores Jesus’ radical definition of greatness. As Jesus and His disciples journey toward Jerusalem, the mother of James and John asks Jesus for positions of honor for her sons in His kingdom—one at His right and one at His left. But Jesus reveals they don’t understand what they are asking. The path to His throne is not one of power or prestige, but suffering and sacrificial love. Jesus uses this moment to redefine greatness for His followers. In a world that measures greatness through status, influence, achievements, or wealth, Jesus says true greatness is found through service. The greatest in God’s kingdom are not those who elevate themselves above others, but those who willingly serve them. At the center of this teaching is the gospel itself: “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Jesus didn’t just teach service—He modeled it. Through His death on the cross, He paid the price to free people from slavery to sin and bring them back to God. Tom illustrates this truth with a powerful analogy using 360-degree camera footage from a ski trip. Just like a camera can frame everything around the person wearing it, our lives often revolve around ourselves. But the gospel reframes our lives. When we receive the grace of Jesus and allow Him to serve us, our focus shifts away from ourselves and toward God and others. The question at the heart of the message is simple but searching: Has the gospel actually changed your life? A life transformed by Jesus is marked by humility, freedom from condemnation, and a growing desire to serve others just as Christ served us.

    The King & His Kingdom: #95 - Warning For What's Ahead | Matthew 20:17-19

    Tom Logue - February 22nd 2026 Jesus wants to heal your spiritual eyesight—so you can see His love clearly in the place He suffered most. This week, Tom continues our King & His Kingdom series in Matthew 20:17–19, where Jesus pulls His disciples aside on the road to Jerusalem and tells them plainly what is coming: betrayal, condemnation, mocking, flogging, death—and resurrection on the third day. Tom opens with a personal story about LASIK surgery, using it as a picture of what God may want to do in us: a kind of “spiritual eye surgery” that helps us see Jesus clearly—especially in the painful places where He was wounded physically, emotionally, and spiritually. From this short but weighty passage, Tom highlights three big realities: Jesus’ suffering was comprehensive. He didn’t just “get through” the cross—He felt the full weight of it, so there is no kind of suffering you can face that He cannot identify with. Jesus signed up for the suffering—because He loves you. Tom connects this to the way a mother willingly embraces the cost of childbirth out of love, pointing us to the deeply personal nature of Christ’s love: not just “for the world,” but for you. God will warn you. Just as loving parents warn their kids to protect them, Jesus prepares His disciples ahead of time—not to scare them, but to help them endure what’s ahead with faith, perseverance, and trust. The message ends with a clear, personal invitation: Have you been born again? Jesus didn’t suffer for no reason—He suffered so you could be made new, brought into real life with God, and learn to follow Him with eyes that see clearly.

    Mike Harrelson - The Danger of Drift

    Mike Harrelson - February 15th 2026 Drift is quiet — but repentance restores joy and sends us back on mission. This week, Mike walks us through the life of King David (2 Samuel 11–12; Psalm 51; Revelation 2), exposing the subtle danger of spiritual drift. Like a surfer slowly carried away from the lifeguard tower, drift rarely feels dramatic — it’s gradual, quiet, and often disguised as comfort, busyness, or even religious activity. Mike shows how David’s greatest failure didn’t begin with adultery or murder — it began with absence. He stayed home when kings went to war. From there, one quiet compromise led to devastating consequences that affected everyone around him. Drift is never private. But the story doesn’t end there. Through Psalm 51, we hear what real repentance sounds like — confession, humility, a broken spirit, and a desperate plea: “Restore the joy of your salvation to me.” David models that restoration begins not with activity, but with a humble heart. When joy is restored, mission follows. The message closes with a powerful reminder from Revelation 2: Jesus calls His people to remember, repent, and return to their first love. Our hope is not in drifting less — it is in fixing our eyes on Jesus, the Son of David, who never drifted and now intercedes for us. As a church stepping intentionally into mission (including Alpha), this sermon asks two honest questions: How’s your joy? And, Who in your life is God pursuing — and how can you join Him?

    The King & His Kingdom: #94 - The Unfairness of God | Matthew 19:30-20:16

    Tom Logue - February 8th 2026 The kingdom of heaven belongs to the needy, the unwanted, and the desperate who keep showing up. This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 20:1–16, where Jesus tells the parable of the workers in the vineyard. Through this story, Tom reveals both a window into the kingdom and a mirror for our hearts. The landowner represents a God who relentlessly goes out Himself, again and again, seeking people in need—not just the skilled or impressive, but the overlooked, unwanted, and desperate. Tom shows how this parable confronts our instinct to hide need, perform strength, and compare ourselves to others. The workers who waited all day did so because they were desperate—and the landowner pays them a full day’s wage because God knows what we need and He is a generous provider. Grace, Tom reminds us, is never fair. God is never unfair except to Himself. The cross stands as the ultimate proof that heaven operates on a different scoreboard than earth—one that values hearts over resumes and humility over entitlement. This message invites us to stop pretending everything is fine, to bring our needs honestly before God, and to trust the King whose generosity far exceeds what we could ever earn. The question Jesus leaves us with is simple and searching: Are we jealous or joyful when God is gracious?

    The King & His Kingdom: #93 - Investments & Wealth | Matthew 19:23-30

    Tom Logue - February 1st 2026 Money reveals who’s really on the throne of your life—and Jesus invites us to trade control for something far better. In this message from The King & His Kingdom series, we continue through Matthew 19:23–30, where Jesus confronts the deep spiritual power of money. Using vivid illustrations—from MRI scans to investment returns—Tom shows how wealth can quietly replace God as king, and why Jesus says it’s hard for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. This sermon explores why money is not evil, but dangerous; how it exposes our true allegiances; and why shifting our trust from wealth to Jesus is humanly impossible—but fully possible with God. Most importantly, we’re invited to see the kingdom of heaven as the greatest investment imaginable: one that yields eternal life, true freedom, and a hundredfold return.

    Jarek Berga - Fear of Man

    Jarek Berga - January 25th 2025 When fear gives people more weight than God, idolatry quietly takes root. In this message, Jarek pauses our journey through Matthew to walk us through Exodus 32, the story of the golden calf. Rather than treating idolatry as an ancient or obvious sin, Jarek exposes how fear subtly reshapes our worship today—especially when the voices of people begin to carry more weight than the voice of God. When the vertical relationship with God fades, the horizontal pressures of approval, performance, and independence grow until people feel like giants and obedience feels impossible. Through the contrast between Aaron and Moses, we see two very different responses to pressure. Aaron edits God’s word to calm the crowd, preserving peace at the cost of obedience. Moses, however, goes to God for the people, interceding rather than compromising. This distinction becomes the heart of the message: fear elevates people above God, but love brings people before God. The sermon ultimately points us to Jesus, our greater High Priest, who succeeds where Aaron and Moses fail. While we often cave, stay silent, or resist authority, Jesus always lives to intercede for us. He pleads our case before the Father, restores proper perspective, and frees us from the exhausting burden of seeking approval or defending independence. As His voice becomes the loudest in our lives, people return to their proper size—and God returns to His rightful place.

    Vincent Latteri - Love Actually

    Vincent Latteri - January 18th 2026 Agape love is not a feeling to fall into—it’s a gift to receive and a life to live. This week, Vinnie teaches from 1 John 4:7–11, unpacking the most central theme in all of Scripture: love. Not the fragile, emotional version our culture often celebrates, but agape love—the selfless, sacrificial love that originates in God Himself. Vinnie carefully defines what love is (and what it isn’t), showing that true love is a choice of selfless, compassionate action, not merely an emotion that comes and goes. Through personal stories, humor, and Scripture, he walks us through three essential questions: What is love? How do we get it? And how do we give it? The answer is both simple and confronting—agape love is a gift from God, freely given through Jesus, but one we must choose to fully accept, not merely acknowledge. Vinnie draws a powerful distinction between receiving the gift and accepting it, warning how easily we can know about God’s love without allowing it to transform every area of our lives. The message crescendos with the gospel itself: while we were enemies, God chose us. The cross was not accidental—it was universe-altering love in action. And as we accept that love more deeply, it inevitably overflows into how we love one another. This sermon invites us to stop setting the gift on the shelf, to receive Jesus fully, and to become people marked by the same agape love the world is desperate to see.
