The Restoration Movement
This morning What we have restored Tonight
What is yet to be restored
2
What do we lack?

• Is the Restoration Movement complete ?
• Are there parts of the New Testament church that
  we have not fully restored ?
• There are many things that we have yet to work
  on.
• Tonight I focus on the attitudes of the New
  Testament church.

1 Strong Faith

• With a strong faith we can do great things in
  this world.
• Mark 1614 Later He appeared to the eleven as
  they sat at the table and He rebuked their
  unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did
  not believe those who had seen Him after He had
  risen.
• Philippians 413 I can do all things through
  Christ who strengthens me.

1 Strong Faith

• With a strong faith we can do great things in
  this world.
• Are we reaching our world ? They did.
• Are we strong in our faith ? They were.
• Are we willing to die for our faith ? They did.
• Are we living our faith ? They did.

2 Power in Prayer

• James 516 Confess your trespasses to one
  another, and pray for one another, that you may
  be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a
  righteous man avails much
• How is your prayer life ?
• Do you pray believing ?
• Are we praying boldly ?
• Is our prayer life effective and fervent ?

3 Zeal for the work
Mark 1615 And He said to them, "Go into all the
world and preach the gospel to every
creature. Matthew 937-38 37 Then He said to His
disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but
the laborers are few. 38 Therefore pray the Lord
of the harvest to send out laborers into His
harvest."

3 Zeal for the work
Acts 2020 how I kept back nothing that was
helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you
publicly and from house to house,
8
3 Zeal for the work

• Are you taking the gospel to your world ?
• Are you excited about the work ?
• Why are there more here for a party than for
  door-knocking ?
• Why is there more excitement for a football game
  that for mission report ?

4 Spirit of Christ

• Romans 89 But you are not in the flesh but in
  the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in
  you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of
  Christ, he is not His.
• 2 Corinthians 36 who also made us sufficient as
  ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter
  but of the Spirit for the letter kills, but the
  Spirit gives life.

10
5 Enthusiasm for life

• Galatians 522-23 22 But the fruit of the Spirit
  is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness,
  goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness,
  self-control. Against such there is no law.
• Do you have the fruit of the Spirit in your
  life ?
• LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS,
  FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL

6 Excitement for worship

• Psalm 1221 I was glad when they said to me, "Let
  us go into the house of the Lord."
• Are you glad, excited to be here today ?
• Do you sing with spirit ? (1 Corinthians 1415)
• Do you give with cheer? (2 Corinthians 97)
• Do you just endure the sermon ?
• Are you wishing you were somewhere else ?

12
7 Commitment to the cause

• Matthew 1037 He who loves father or mother more
  than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son
  or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
• Matthew 1927 Then Peter answered and said to
  Him, "See, we have left all and followed You.
  Therefore what shall we have?"

13
7 Commitment to the cause

• How is your dedication to the cause of Christ ?
• What have you given up for Christ ?
• Matthew 1624-25 24 Then Jesus said to His
  disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me,
  let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and
  follow Me. 25 For whoever desires to save his
  life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for
  My sake will find it.
