BUILD: Restoration

About this message

In this BUILD series message, Christopher Alton explores God’s great plan of restoration; not simply returning things to their original state, but bringing them to the fullness He always intended. Drawing from Colossians 1:17, Ephesians 1:10, and Acts 3:19–21, Christopher shows how God’s eternal purpose is centred on Christ, who will one day restore all things. Restoration begins with the human heart (Ezekiel 36:26, Isaiah 61:1–3), freeing the broken, healing the hurting, and breaking the power of sin and death. From there, God calls His people to be “restorers of streets to dwell in” (Isaiah 58:12) - rebuilding lives, breaking generational devastation through discipleship, repairing brokenness, and carrying His presence into communities. Ultimately, this work points to the restoration of nations, as people from every tribe and tongue are united in Christ, displaying His glory before the world.
