RLA Sunday Service - 7/19/2026 - Jose Rivera

Restoration L.A. - Live StreamJul 2026

Jose Rivera preaches from Mark 1–2 on removing religious lenses that distort how we see God, urging the church to embrace Jesus’ grace, preach the Word boldly, and practice faith that brings healing and forgiveness. Using the paralytic and other Gospel stories, he contrasts Jesus’ authority and mercy with the obstructive spirit of religious tradition and calls the congregation to authentic faith, community support, and mission-minded action.

Resurrection Sunday with Phil Dooley †=♥ | Hillsong Church Online

Hillsong ChurchApr 2023

Phil Dooley's Resurrection Sunday message teaches that believers are 'resurrection people'—called to allow Jesus to roll away the stones covering the dark, dead places in our lives so his light can bring standing up and recovery. Using the story of Lazarus, he draws four practical insights: see God's bigger purpose, expect both hope and controversy, pursue deep relationships, and keep moving forward. The sermon concludes with an invitation to respond, a reading of Psalm 23, and an offer of a New Testament.
