Meta Church NYC

What do yo want most in life? Is it a career, a relationship status, a platform, or something else? And why? What's the motive behind it, or the beneficiary of it? Chances are what you want, and why, have more to do with you than anyone else. But legendary faith is achieved when we shift our focus from "us" to God.

What if the faith you wish you had was on the other side of the relationship you could have ? The greatest barriers to faith we experience can be overcome when we learn to engage in a relationship with the God who calls us into faith.

What would your story, and your life, look like if you gave God the pen and let Him write your story? The greatest faith we can have requires that we let go of our control and our fear, and choose instead to give God our best by letting Him write the story of our lives. In part 2 of our Live Like Legends series, Pastor Krista looks at the story of Cain and Abel to learn what separated ones offerin...

Do you ever feel like you're lacking in the area of faith? When compared to others or the legends of the faith, does it feel like your faith is inadequate or insufficient? But what if it is possible for you to grow in faith, and see God use you in unthinkable ways? What if the truth is that God desires for you to have Legend Status when it comes to faith?

In 2018, we saw God work in unbelievable ways in and through Meta Church. He transformed lives, expanded our reach, and provided beyond our wildest imagination! Yet all that we saw and experienced in 2018 is nothing compared to what's to come!

This week's message is our invitation to give to our annual Christmas Offering. We believe God has greater things in store for you, our church, and our city in 2019 and we'd love to invite you to give and support the ministry of Meta Church in New York and beyond. To give, visit meta.church/give or text META to 77977.

Have you ever felt the excitement about a gift you would receive or a moment you would experience? The anticipation is so high, that you can hardly stand it! When we look to the story of the shepherds in Luke 2, we see that they were overjoyed at the coming of the Messiah and their opportunity to share in the miracle.

What would it take for you to stand in awe of God? What would God have to do to blow your mind, or exceed your expectations? What miracle would have to happen? What fear or anxiety would have to be removed? What problems would we have to overcome?

When you look back on the events and circumstances of your life, you'll find that God was working intentionally to root out certain things, drive in better things, and build up new things all needed in order for you to reach your destiny.

When you feel forgotten or abandoned, it's easy to shut down and give up. Though you may feel like you've been stripped of your hope and you've become a prisoner of your circumstance, you still have a choice to make that can determine your future.

On the road to "reaching" your destiny and calling, you're going to encounter some setbacks and detours. It's inevitable that things won't go as originally planned or as you desired. So what happens then? How do you navigate those moments so that you can continue to reach what you were made for?

Have you ever thought about how hard God is trying to reach you? God is doing everything He can to reach you first, so you can reach what He has planned for you.

Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you worked, or what steps you took, the closer you got to Jesus the more you struggled or felt challenged? Or maybe you've felt like you're stuck in a perpetual state of defeat. Either way, God has promised you more victory in your life and it's yours for the taking.

There are so many more opportunities for influence and impact that God wants to send your way. The trouble is we get ourselves caught up in things that become strongholds in our lives and keep us from making the most of the opportunities God gives us.

You were made for more - that's been the theme of this series, but God didn't just make you for more, He gifted you with and for more! Every follower of Jesus has received significant gifs in order to accomplish far more than we thought possible.

God makes HUGE proclamations and promises about what His love could do in us, but why is that so many of don't feel loved? In his letter to the Christians at Ephesus, Paul was urging believers to not settle for anything less than the fullness of God's love, for if they (and we) could grab hold of God's love, we could experience infinitely more than we could ask or imagine.

Have you ever felt out of place or wondered if there was more to life than just showing up to work and doing your job? We believe God has designated a specific purpose over your life that is greater than anything you could envision (or fulfill) on your own! The good news is God doesn't leave you on your own to figure it out; through Jesus Christ you have the ability to live in the fullness of your...

Have you ever felt weak or powerless? Not a great feeling, huh? Rarely do we feel as helpless as when we feel weak. But this isn't the way it has to be, nor is it the way God designed. God designed us to experience the fullness of His power. The same power that conquered the grave is the power that God bestows upon us for every situation in life.

The life of Nehemiah is one in which we see the enemy constantly attacking, thwarting plans, and sowing seeds of discouragement amongst the people of Judah. Satan wants nothing more than to keep you from fulfilling your purpose and mission. But when the enemy attacks our efforts, we can respond like Nehemiah did and fight back the discouragement in order to proceed forward. God has given us victor...

Are you tired of getting to the end of your week and feeling spent or exhausted? Could it be that God designed a better plan for us that would actually revitalize us and help us be more engaged in the world around us? In part 4 of "To Be Or Not To Be," Pastor Ricky teaches through God's design for rest, refreshment, and re-engagement. A plan from God that sets us up to live fully-engaged...

In a world full of distractions, how do you demonstrate that you're present? What are your 'Proofs of Presence'? There are everyday actions and commitments that reveal whether we are truly present and fully engaged, or whether we're checked out. Listen to the full message to hear 'Proofs of Presence' from Pastor Krista Ortiz.

What we see affects how we engage...but if we can't see the need, we won't respond to it. But God has greater vision for your life and He's inviting you to make the most of your opportunities by being fully-engaged in the moment. Do you see it?

It's easier than ever to feel rushed, hurried, and distracted. We move from one thing to the next, leaving us feeling exhausted and empty. But what if a decision to stop running to the next thing, and engaging fully in the moment, could lead to massive transformation in your life and the lives of those around you?
