Meta Church NYC

We’ve seen our church grow, lives transformed, and people step into community and purpose while finding healing and acceptance. Our church has become more than a church – it’s become a  home!

Wherever the message of the Kingdom of God was proclaimed, it was received and celebrated as Good News. That's because the message of the Kingdom is greater than the politics of our days.

In this week's message, Pastor Krista Ortiz shares how God's people are supposed to navigate uncertain or unstable political times.

In this week's message, Pastor Ricky Ortiz shares three qualities that separate Jesus and make Him far superior than any candidate we could think of.

In a highly contemptible political climate, Jesus stepped injected Himself into the political narrative by announcing and proclaiming a new Kingdom.

Sin breaks our relationship with God, and unconfessed sin creates a burden that we were never intended to carry. This burden puts a cap on our transformation and it prevents us from becoming like Christ. But confession is the bridge that connects us back to God.

If you've ever felt distant or disconnected in your relationship with God, then this week's message is for you!

Worshiping in Spirit and Truth is about engaging our emotion and our intellect. In other words, it's about giving God all we've got!

Jesus didn't just tell us we should connect with God, but He demonstrated to us what it means and looks like to connect with God through prayer. 

What does obedience have to do with following Jesus and becoming like Him? Well, as it turns out: A LOT! According to Jesus, obedience is both a key measure of becoming a disciple and a measuring factor for how much you actually love Jesus. In John 14, Jesus said those who obey Him are the ones that actually love Him.

We see the world with our natural eyes, but we see the spiritual with the eyes of the Spirit. And as we see things through the Spirit we can see things as God sees them.

Do you remember those WWJD bracelets? They asked the question, "What would Jesus do?" Though well-meaning and inspired, it's somewhat a mute question. We don't need to ask what Jesus "would" do because we already know exactly what Jesus *did* do!

Thankfully, Jesus didn't just instruct us to follow His way, but He modeled the way for us so we could live like Him and become like Him.

During this conversation, Inés shares how her faith has fueled her work as well as the way her work has invigorated her faith. Inés has a passion for helping people follow Jesus, while also living in a such a way to that takes care of God's creation and God's people.

Meta Member, Wanda Staggers, was born in Harlem, NY, but after graduating from college she made her way down to South Carolina. She world as a single mom, raising four daughters on her own, while also learning to trust God in the big things and in the small things.

In her message, Fer shares her story of following Jesus and the way He has revealed Himself to her. She shares about the importance of actually being with Jesus and not just doing "Jesus things." This is something God has used to transform her and now she shares this message with us all.

In this week's message, Maggie speaks on the significance of Jesus – who He is, what He does, and the difference He makes in our lives. The truth is that we not only need Jesus, but when we find Him, He changes EVERYTHING!

In just a short time of following Jesus, EVERYTHING can change! That's the power of following Jesus! And that's the testimony shared by both Dan and Kaki in this week's Summer Mixtape message. Over the past year, Jesus has radically transformed who they are and how they're navigating faith, marriage, and life.

We live in a hurried, fast-paced world where we can easily find ourselves running at full speed 24/7. The challenge and difficulty with this is that we can also find ourselves easily burning out because we've run for so long or run without direction.

The pressures of culture and society push us to embrace a life apart from Jesus, which means the decision and commitment to follow Jesus into your 30s requires a lot more discipline and resilience.

What do you do when you've been patiently waiting for God for healing, deliverance, provision (or anything else really) and it doesn't seem like He's coming through yet?

Just because you’ve taken a step towards freedom does not mean you will continue to be free. If you want to be free, then you have to determine that you will remain free.v

Let's be honest: there are times where God tells us, or invites us, to do something and we would rather look the other way, pretend like we didn't hear it, or just flat out ignore what God has so clearly spoken.

Nobody wants to be called GREEDY. BUT… what if this thing that we say we despise is actually something that’s a part of each of us? And what if this characteristic we say we hate is actually within each of us??

Is He worthy? This is a question every follower Jesus has wrestled with. Just like the rich, young ruler in Mark 10, we all have to ask ourselves, and answer, this question when it comes to following Jesus.
