✨ 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.

In this kickoff episode of our six-week Restoration series, Pastor John Arnold invites you to rediscover the transforming power of God's Spirit. Through the words of Zechariah and James, we’re called to return to God, trust in divine renewal, and stop trying to fix everything on our own. If you’re exhausted, discouraged, or just ready for something new, this message is your invitation to start fresh—with daily devotionals, guided meditations, and a community of grace walking beside you.

🎙️ Scripture: Zechariah 1:1–6, James 4:7–10

In this week's sermon, we explore Luke 15 through a modern lens — what do a lost sheep, a missing coin, and your misplaced cell phone have in common? Join us as we unpack the deep, relentless love of God who seeks after the one who is lost. Whether you're feeling distant or disconnected, this message is a reminder that you are never too far gone to be found. There's joy in the finding. 🙌📱🐑

In today’s sermon, Pastor [Your Name] walks us through Jeremiah 2, exploring the tension between doing what’s “right” out of obligation versus doing it out of love and relationship. Along the way, he shares a powerful (and funny!) pop culture moment from The Break-Up, reflecting on how it mirrors our sometimes superficial connection with God.

He also offers deeply personal insights from caring for his aging parents and discovering how gratitude, relationship, and presence change everything.

📌 Themes:

• Moving beyond religious obligation

• Seeing God’s daily blessings

• Why devotion matters

• Living out of gratitude

• Reclaiming spiritual vitality

Listen and be encouraged to lean not into performance, but into presence.

📖 Scripture: Jeremiah 2:4-13; Hebrews 13:1-16
🎧 Runtime: ~28 minutes

In this powerful message, we explore how God's touch brings transformation, restoration, and purpose. Drawing from Jeremiah 1 and Luke 13, we reflect on two very different people—Jeremiah, a reluctant young prophet, and a woman bound by infirmity for 18 years—both of whom are radically changed by the touch of God.

This sermon dives deep into the truth that healing isn’t always something we seek—sometimes God seeks us. Whether it's breaking spiritual bondage or reigniting a calling long buried, God's healing is never random; it always leads to something more.

Plus, Pastor John Arnold shares a deeply personal story of leaving ministry, rediscovering his purpose, and how the “touch of the Master's hand” brought him back. A message of hope, restoration, and purpose for anyone who feels worn down or overlooked.

Listen now and be reminded: when God touches your life, it’s never just about healing—it’s about calling you into something greater.
