Pastor Cody - wk5Keeping Up With The Corinthians / / SEASON 1: Correcting The Chaos 12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. 13 “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. 14 And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. 15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined[a] to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” 17 But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. 18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin[b] a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." ~ 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 ESV FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Share rest on your social #therestisyettocome

Pastor AB - wk4Keeping Up With The Corinthians / / SEASON 1: Correcting The Chaos " 1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father's wife. 2 And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you. 3 For though absent in body, I am present in spirit; and as if present, I have already pronounced judgment on the one who did such a thing. 4 When you are assembled in the name of the Lord Jesus and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. 6 Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 8 Let us therefore celebrate the festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? 13 God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”." ~ 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 ESV FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Share rest on your social #therestisyettocome

Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (I did baptize also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." ~ 1 Corinthians 1:10-18 ESV FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Share rest on your social #therestisyettocome

All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4 they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” 6 This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”]] ~ John 7:53-8:11 ESV Jesus Said | Summer In The RED FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Use our hashtag on your social #therestisyettocome

Pastor John ~ wk.78"13 Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother. 14 I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean. 15 For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died. 16 So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil. 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. 20 Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats. 21 It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble. 22 The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves. 23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin." ~ Romans 14:13-23 ESV / / [5] THE WILL OF GOD / / HOMESTRETCH: PROMISES + PRACTICE { Romans C.12-15 ESV } FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Use our hashtag on your social #therestisyettocome

Pastor Cody ~ wk.77 "1 As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. 2 One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. 3 Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. 4 Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master[a] that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. 5 One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. 7 For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. 9 For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. 10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; 11 for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess[b] to God.” 12 So then each of us will give an account of himself to God." ~ Romans 14:1-12 ESV / / [5] THE WILL OF GOD / / HOMESTRETCH: PROMISES + PRACTICE { Romans C.12-15 ESV } FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Use our hashtag on your social #therestisyettocome

For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. 12 The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. ~ Romans 13:8-14 ESV / / [5] THE WILL OF GOD / / HOMESTRETCH: PROMISES + PRACTICE { Romans C.12-15 ESV } FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Use our hashtag on your social #therestisyettocome

Pastor Cody Doubt has this way of keeping us stuck. We’ve all probably had moments where we’ve questioned everything—Is God really there? Does He really see me? Is all of this even true? And if you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, you’re not alone. In fact, Thomas did too. After Jesus’ death, Thomas wasn’t just doubting—but he was grieving. He wasn’t in the room when Jesus first appeared, and he refused to believe until he could see the wounds for himself. He'd already mourned, already buried his hope, and he wasn’t about to set himself up for more disappointment. But here’s the thing—Jesus wasn’t in the grave anymore. And maybe that’s where you are, too. Maybe you’ve buried your faith. Maybe you really believe that things are too far gone for a comeback. Maybe you’re still standing at a funeral that has an empty casket. It’s time to #STOPTHEFUNERAL Because the grave wasn’t the end—it was the evidence. Jesus didn’t stay in the tomb, and you don’t have to stay in yours either. Easter Sunday celebrates the victory that silences doubt, resurrects hope, and proves once and for all—His story (and yours) isn’t over.

Pastor Carl Words matter...especially last words. Maybe you can remember the final words of a great leader, the last goodbyes from a loved one, or the closing lines to a scene that seem to define the whole story. A person’s last words reveal what truly matters most. On the cross at Galgotha, with His final breath, Jesus didn’t whisper words of regret, or defeat, or surrender. He didn’t say, “I tried.” He didn’t say, “Maybe next time.” Instead, He declared, “It is finished.” To the world, looked in on this moment of final words like it was the end. But what seemed like such a tragic conclusion was actually the greatest exchange of all time. When life feels broken beyond repair, or when hope seems buried....what will your final words be? Join us in this Good Friday SVC as we reflect on the weight of the cross, the power of Christ’s sacrifice, and the final words that changed everything for everyone who would come to Him.

Pastor AB Expectations are a funny thing. They have the power to fill us with hope or leave us drowning in disappointment. When life doesn’t go the way we thought it would, frustration can creep in, doubt takes root, and we start questioning everything—even God. If that’s where you are, you’re not alone. On Palm Sunday, the crowd welcomed Jesus with shouts of “Hosanna!”, expecting a King who would come to overthrow their oppressors. But Jesus didn’t meet their expectations— He exceeded them in a way they never saw coming. And instead of delivering them from Rome, He came to deliver them from sin. Yet, when reality didn’t match their expectations, their praise turned into betrayal. So what about you? When God’s plan looks different than yours, what will your first words be? Join us for Palm Sunday as we see how Jesus isn’t just the Savior we expect—He’s the Savior that we all need.

Pastor Cody ~ wk.75 "1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. 7 Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed." ~ Romans 13:1-7 ESV / / [5] THE WILL OF GOD / / HOMESTRETCH: PROMISES + PRACTICE { Romans C.12-15 ESV } FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Use our hashtag on your social #therestisyettocome

Pastor Cody ~ wk.71 "25 Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”; 27 “and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” 28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy. 32 For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all. 33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! 34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” 35 “Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” 36 For from him and through him and to him are all things.

Pastor AB ~ wk.70 "11 So I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather, through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Israel jealous. 12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion mean! 13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. 15 For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? 16 If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root[b] of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. 23 And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree. ~ Romans 11:11-24 ESV / / [4] THE PLAN OF GOD ~ THEM & US / / God's Election, Sovereignty & Human Responsibility, & Covenant Faithfulness { Romans 9-11 ESV } FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Use our hashtag on your social #therestisyettocome

Pastor AB ~ wk.69 "1 I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham,[a] a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? 3 “Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” 4 But what is God's reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. 6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace. 7 What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, 8 as it is written, “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that would not see and ears that would not hear, down to this very day.” 9 And David says, “Let their table become a snare and a trap, a stumbling block and a retribution for them; 10 let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see, and bend their backs forever.”” ~ Romans 11:1-10 ESV / / [4] THE PLAN OF GOD ~ THEM & US / / God's Election, Sovereignty & Human Responsibility, & Covenant Faithfulness { Romans 9-11 ESV } FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Use our hashtag on your social #therestisyettocome

Pastor Cody ~ wk.68 "14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?[a] And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. 18 But I ask, have they not heard? Indeed they have, for “Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.” 19 But I ask, did Israel not understand? First Moses says, “I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; with a foolish nation I will make you angry.” 20 Then Isaiah is so bold as to say, “I have been found by those who did not seek me; I have shown myself to those who did not ask for me.” 21 But of Israel he says, “All day long I have held out my hands to a disobedient and contrary people.”~ Romans 10:14-21 ESV / / [4] THE PLAN OF GOD ~ THEM & US / / God's Election, Sovereignty & Human Responsibility, & Covenant Faithfulness { Romans 9-11 ESV } FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Use our hashtag on your social #therestisyettocome

Pastor AB ~ wk.67 "1Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them. 6 But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”~ Romans 10:1-13 ESV / / [4] THE PLAN OF GOD ~ THEM & US / / God's Election, Sovereignty & Human Responsibility, & Covenant Faithfulness { Romans 9-11 ESV } FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Use our hashtag on your social #therestisyettocome

Pastor Cody ~ wk.66 "24 even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles? 25 As indeed he says in Hosea, “Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’” 26 “And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’” 27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel[a] be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved, 28 for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay.” 29 And as Isaiah predicted, “If the Lord of hosts had not left us offspring, we would have been like Sodom and become like Gomorrah.” 30 What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; 31 but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness[b] did not succeed in reaching that law. 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 as it is written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” ~ Romans 9:24-33 ESV / / [4] THE PLAN OF GOD ~ THEM & US / / God's Election, Sovereignty & Human Responsibility, & Covenant Faithfulness { Romans 9-11 ESV } FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Use our hashtag on your social #therestisyettocome

Pastor AB ~ wk.65 "14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! 15 For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” 16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion,[a] but on God, who has mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” 18 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills. 19 You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?” 20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? 22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory— 24 even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?" ~ Romans 9:14-24 ESV / / [4] THE PLAN OF GOD ~ THEM & US / / God's Election, Sovereignty & Human Responsibility, & Covenant Faithfulness { Romans 9-11 ESV } FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Use our hashtag on your social #therestisyettocome

Pastor Cody ~ wk.64 "1I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit— 2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers,[a] my kinsmen according to the flesh. 4 They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises. 5 To them belong the patriarchs, and from their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen. 6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, 7 and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring. 9 For this is what the promise said: “About this time next year I will return, and Sarah shall have a son.” 10 And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, 11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls— 12 she was told, “The older will serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”." ~ Romans 9:1-13 ESV / / [4] THE PLAN OF GOD ~ THEM & US / / God's Election, Sovereignty & Human Responsibility, & Covenant Faithfulness { Romans 9-11 ESV } FOLLOW US, AS WE FOLLOW JESUS: https://linktr.ee/restchurch.net HASHTAG IT Use our hashtag on your social #therestisyettocome

Pastor Carl - wk7 Jesus Messy Life Life and ministry can be messy... just like a stable full of oxen. Proverbs 14:4 (NLT) says, "Without oxen a stable stays clean, but you need a strong ox for a large harvest." If we avoid the mess of life—those tough conversations, challenging projects, or stepping out in faith—our 'stable' might stay clean, but we’ll surely miss out on the strength of the oxen and the growth and productivity that comes with working toward a harvest for God. In this short 7-week series, we’ll learn how to manage the 'poop'—the messiness of life—with grace, truth, and love. Using Matthew 18 and the guidance of God the Holy Spirit, we'll grab our shovels together and embrace the mess.
