"Restore | Rebuild" by Action Worship: God Is Still Working and Moving Today


Have you ever felt like your church community needs a serious reboot? Another way to say it: "flogging a dead horse!" That's exactly the feeling that triggered Action Worship to write "Restore | Rebuild". This energetic song is the latest addition to their album "Songs For The House, Vol. 2". It emphasizes that "The Church is a living example // Of what God can do."

Action Worship - Restore | Rebuild"Restore | Rebuild" was written to ignite hope and unify the Church in the truth that the story of God's power is still being written. The lyrics start strong: "He's doing a new thing // Restoring, rebuilding // From ashes to glory // There's more to His story." God is changing us, taking the brokenness, turning it into something beautiful, and giving it purpose. The two choruses are a call to the Church: "The time has come // He's just begun // The Church agrees // Arise in faith // Let hearts awake // That we might see." The call continues with the second chorus: "He is not finished // He is not done // Thank God the best is yet to come // … // God is still moving in this place."

The Church, "It's not just a building // The Church is a living example // Of what God can do." Action Worship encourages us to look around at our own Church communities, "If proof's what you need // Look around you, and see // All the testimonies in this room." Every person's story matters: "Every story's one that He can use // There's no limit to what God can do." 

Now, don't mistake this as a call to the Church, where you can lay back and wait! You are part of the Church! This is also calling you to do your part. Your story matters just as much as your drive to be part of the community.

This song is a plea for the community to unite and look with anticipation as God's glory is still unfolding! So, go ahead, press play, and give "Restore | Rebuild" a listen. May this song reignite your spirit and encourage you to connect to His bigger plan.

(Related scripture: Isaiah 43:19; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Matthew 16:18)

"Not Far From Us" by Divine Vibes: Stop Searching. Start Reaching.

The search can end right now. The Apostle Paul stood in Athens surrounded by altars and idols — a city full of people reaching toward something they couldn’t name. Among all their shrines, Paul spotted one inscription: “To an unknown God.” That moment became the opening of one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture. The people were already searching. They just didn’t know who they were searching for. “Not Far From Us” is a collaboration between Divine Vibes and House of Purpose. The track takes that same scene and sets it to Afro House and cinematic electronic music. Created directly from Acts 17, the lyrics move like Paul’s speech itself — from observation to revelation. “I found an altar to an unknown God // This God whom you worship without knowing // This is the one I’m telling you about.” Divine Vibes doesn’t just retell the story… he pulls you right into it. What Paul told the Athenians next also applies to each of us today: “Yet he is actually not far from each one of ...

"Chasing Nothing" by Louis Loock: When Grace Starts Chasing You

Success fades. Approval fades. What actually lasts? Picture yourself walking home. A normal walk home, nothing dramatic. Just sidewalks, tomorrow’s to-do list, and thinking about what you own and the career/life you have. That’s where “Chasing Nothing” by Louis Loock starts. He continues to reflect: “Emptiness surrounds me, for no reason that I see, // People walkin’ past, time goes by so fast.”   It’s fascinating to experience how everyday moments like these trigger deeper reflections. For Louis, these reflections led to a change, not because he found more stuff or more approval, but because he found less of himself and more of God. “Then You came into my life, You opened up my eyes,” he writes. “I was chasing nothing, I was running mad.” That choice of words matters. He wasn’t chasing something that turned out disappointing — he was chasing something that turned out to be empty. An illusion. A finish line that keeps moving further away. Does this sound familiar?  Scripture...

"Psalm 112 (I'm Confident)" by Young Presley: No Fear in Bad News

What is your house built on?  We all face bad news at some point or other in life. It could be a diagnosis, a layoff, a broken relationship — the question isn’t whether hard news will come, but how you’ll respond when it happens. Young Presley wrestled with that question while he was writing his song “Psalm 112 (I’m Confident)”. The song is part of a Psalms series, coming from a simple vision: turn scripture into music that people will actually listen to. These songs are not intended as a substitute for reading the Bible, but an invitation to further read and explore the Bible. The chorus captures the key message of Psalm 112: “I do not fear bad news, I’m confident, trust in the Lord who cares to be my confidence.” That’s not the denial of bad news. It’s a decision to place your confidence and trust in God.  Look at what David wrote centuries ago in Psalm 112:7–8: “He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord. His heart is steady; he will not be afrai...
