This week’s message, “Living the Restored Life,” brings our Restoration Journey series to a close with a powerful reminder: God doesn’t just restore us for our own sake—He restores us so that we can be a blessing to others.Drawing from Zechariah 8:11–13 and Philippians 1:3–10, Pastor John Arnold reflects on how true restoration is never self-made—it’s God’s ongoing work within us. Just as the Reformation was God’s great restoration project, so too is every transformed heart the result of God’s Spirit continually reforming us through His Word.📖 Scripture: Zechariah 8:11–13; Philippians 1:3–10🎙️ Message: “Living the Restored Life”⛪ Series: Restoration Journey – Part 6🌀 This sermon concludes The Restoration Journey, a 6-week faith adventure of finding renewal by God’s Spirit. Along the way we’ve discovered that:👉 Restoration begins when we return to God, who has already come near.👉 Renewal deepens as we let God exceed our limits and cleanse our hearts.👉 Prayer is not passive—it is the holy work that invites God to fight for us.👉 And now, the restored life calls us to live with gratitude, obedience, and witness.📥 Want to walk the full Restoration Journey?Visit 👉 https://fpcrogers.com/therestorationjourney/to download the devotional guide, follow all six messages, and experience God’s renewal in your life.📌 Subscribe for weekly messages, devotionals, and more from FPCRogers.💬 Need prayer?

This week’s message, “A God Who Fights for You,” explores Zechariah 2:4–5 and Romans 8:31–39, revealing the powerful truth that God Himself is our defender, our strength, and our wall of fire. Pastor John Arnold challenges us to rethink prayer—not as something done around our work, but as the work—and to rediscover what it means to stand still and let God contend for us.

✨ Sacred Rest for Restoration | Session 2: Not by Might, Nor by Power, but by My Spirit (Zechariah 4:6) ✨

This session is part of Sacred Rest for Restoration, a Yoga Nidra series created to accompany The Restoration Journey—a 40-day devotional experience of spiritual renewal. Learn more or sign up at: www.fpcrogers.com/therestorationjourney.

📖 Theme of this Session:
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty.” (Zechariah 4:6

This practice invites you into a deep place of stillness where you can rest in God’s presence and allow His Spirit to do the work of renewal that your own strength cannot accomplish.

🧘‍♀️ What is Yoga Nidra?
Yoga Nidra, often called “yogic sleep,” is a guided practice of deep relaxation. It helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, improve sleep, and cultivate inner peace. In this restful state, your body relaxes completely while your mind remains gently aware.

✝️ Sacred Rest with God:
I’ve taken the framework of Yoga Nidra and woven it with biblical truth. These sessions are designed to help you rest deeply in God, internalize His Word, and allow it to shape who you are and how you live. That’s why I call them Sacred Rest—time set apart to be with God and experience His restoration in your life.

🙏 Whether you are new to Yoga Nidra or simply longing for spiritual renewal, this practice offers you space to pause, breathe, and return to God.
