Restoration Anglican Church Staunton

Hope for the Journey | Ezekiel 47, Revelation 21-22, John 7

What hope do we have when things seem bleak? The metaphor of a river of living water, at various places throughout scripture, gives us confidence in how God will redeem his creation, shows us what part we play in his plan of restoration, and gives us hope for where his one Church is headed and how it will get there.

The Better Wine Comes at the End | John 2:1-12

John invites multiple times to "behold" Jesus, to "come and see" Jesus. When we do, the first picture that emerges is one of Jesus attending at a wedding; a picture of feasting, of compassion, of friendship, and of grace. But the bigger picture that emerges is the true wedding of Christ and his church that awaits us.

Undershepherds | 1 Peter 5:1-11

Why does Peter include a section to the elders of the church? What does it mean to be an “elder” in the church? What is God telling us about himself in these verses? Also, an important announcement about the future of Restoration Anglican Staunton and its leadership.

The Dinner Table at the End of the Universe | 1 Peter 4:1-11

When Peter says “the end of all things is close at hand,” what does that mean? And how are we supposed to feel about that? What does God say our response to that news should be? The Scripture Readings (00:00) Proverbs 10:6-14 (01:19) Psalm 46 (02:53) New Testament – 1 Peter 4:1-11 (04:43) Gospel – Luke 7:24-35 (07:00) The Sermon – Fr. Jay Traylor

Wives and Husbands | 1 Peter 3:1-10

Why does God call wives to submit to husbands? Are there times where they do not need to submit? What is the “knowledge” that God calls husbands to have as to how they treat their wives? Is all this just a bunch of outdated rules, or do they serve a greater purpose in God’s missional economy?
