Restoration

1. God’s Promise of Restoration 

– Anchor Scripture: Joel 2:25 
²⁵ “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming ^[a]locust has eaten,
The crawling locust,
The consuming locust,
And the chewing locust,
My great army which I sent among you.

– Key Idea: God has the capacity and willingness to restore beyond what was lost. Grace makes restoration available; faith brings it into reality. 
In this theme, we recognize and thank God for His promises and His proven power to not only restore but also to change our conditions beyond what they once were. The scriptures Joel 2:25 and Job 42:10 remind us of God’s commitment to restore, it grounds our faith and expectations in His divine restoration for our lives.

Supporting Scriptures:
– Joel 2:25
– Job 42:10 – God restored Job’s losses, giving him twice as much as he had before.
