This Sunday, we’re asking a question most of us never stop to consider: Who’s really leading your life? Whether it’s culture, comfort, a relationship, or even your own voice, something is shaping your direction. But what happens when life gets hard, we make some bad choices or maybe have to start over again? Jesus makes a stunning claim in John 10. Not just that He’s a guide—but that He’s the Shep...

Hey family, I hope you are enjoying this Memorial Day weekend. Every Sunday I tell you that you are not attending a service, but that God is constructing a soul. And the reason we say this is to be reminded that this is a slow work of Jesus and we need each other along the way. So I look forward to seeing you this Sunday as we worship Jesus and take communion together--while God is constructing ou...

family, I hope you'll invite a friend this Sunday when we continue our brand-new series, The Jesus I Never Knew. All of us have seen those game shows where the contestant has to pick either door #1, door #2, or door #3. Usually there's a wonderful prize behind one door and something not so wonderful behind the other two. Since we're all familiar with doors being a way to either great treasure or t...

Hey family, we look forward to seeing you this Sunday when we celebrate Mother's Day. We'll continue our new series called "The Jesus I Never Knew," looking at seven "I am" statements that Jesus made about himself. Some of the biggest heartaches we'll ever have come from not understanding who God is, and nobody tells us who

Hey family, we're starting a brand-new series called "The Jesus I Never Knew." We're going to look at seven "I am" statements that Jesus made in the book of John that will allow us to see Jesus in a new and profound light. Some of the biggest heartaches we'll ever have in life come from not understanding who God is, and nobody tells us who God is better than Jesus. Invite a friend who wants to fig...

Listen in on our guest speaker Pastor Hau Liu. We are Easter people living in a Good Friday world

Listen in to Pastor Edwins Easter message

Hey family, the next few days are an amazing opportunity to invite your friends to church. First, this Sunday, April 13, is Palm Sunday, which commemorates Jesus riding into Jerusalem to be greeted by crowds cheering and waving palms. Next will be Good Friday, April 18, when you will experience a truly special service like none we have ever done before, followed by a delicious catered meal. (Pleas...

The humility of God Hey family, this Sunday our visiting speaker, Brad Franklin, will continue our series called The Humility of God. We'll look especially at Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and learn how we can actually live out the same humility that characterized Jesus' own life. Does that seem impossible to you? If you want to get a jump on the conversation, read Matthew 5:1-12. We meet at 10 a.m....

Listen up as special guest speaker Pastor Brad Franklin teaches about the humil of God

Hey family, this Sunday, we have a wonderful service planned as we learn how to grow in the Christian faith. This is an important topic because many of us can be in Christ and yet find ourselves stagnant in our Christian growth. This gives us an opportunity to figure out not only how to grow but also to recognize that growth is something that God does in us and through us. See you at 10 a.m., 360...

family, Pastor Edwin here—first of all, you need to know that on Sunday the roads will be crowded with people running the NYC Half Marathon, so take public transportation to get to church. And now for the real important part of this message! In our latest series we’ve been talking about our identities—who we are now that we believe in Christ. As we’ve said before, the most important thing about yo...

Hey family, before we start, I just want you to know that there are a lot of different ways that we’re growing together in our church this year. We have Bible studies, service opportunities, and even a salsa class coming up! So get plugged in on Sundays and start growing. The most important thing in the world is what you think about God. The second most important is what you think about yourself....

Hey family, last week was so important, as we talked about finding our identity in Christ through Ephesians chapter 1. We will pick up with that message, but this Sunday I'm happy to tell you that Pastor John Fils-Aime will be speaking the word of God. We meet at 10 a.m. Sundays, 360 Schermerhorn St., and kids' church meets for children ages 5-12 will meet at 10 also. --Edwin Announcements: Join u...

Hey family, it's important to be a church that does life together, from learning to fun! Two opportunities are starting soon that will be a great opportunity to meet new people and to grow in being a Christian. First, we're starting a Zoom Bible study that EVERYONE is invited to join. It's called Growing in Christ, and it's a great way to develop habits of Bible study and learning scripture. You c...

Listen in as Pastor Edwin discusses how we are new in Christ

family, join us this Sunday as we hear what Jesus has to say about what matters most. Pastor Gus Rodriguez will speak this week on how often we give our best to things that can be overwhelming. However, Jesus has a clear command about what matters most. Join us at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn. IgNite Kidz church starts at 10 a.m. as well for children ages 5-12. --Edwin

Hey family, our scripture this Sunday will be from Luke chapter 18, verses 18-30. Jesus is speaking to a young man who loves God deeply and has kept all the commandments--but refuses to give up one thing. Please join us this Sunday as Pastor Hau Liu from Hope Church NYC speaks on this important topic. We meet at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St. in Brooklyn. Children's church starts at 10 a.m. as well...

Hey family, one of the things I want to do this January is lay out the year and where we're going. I want us to be focused on health. Healthy growth in Christ and healthy relating with others in our church, as well as a healthy connection with those outside of our church. We have an opportunity to grow in love with Jesus and with one another, and we want to take very intentional steps toward this....

Hey family, we are so pleased this Sunday to welcome Dr. Steven Smith as our guest speaker. He'll be speaking a message of deliverance for all of us. In the Book of Exodus, we learned that God used the struggles of the Israelites to bring them to himself. He freed them from slavery and guided them through the trackless desert on their way to the promised land. Just like the Israelites, we face str...

Our inside lives matter to God Hey family, we'll start this new year with a look at how important it is to examine our inside lives. We might work very hard to make sure others see a confident, capable person on the outside... but if we don't examine deep inside ourselves, we might get tripped up by unacknowledged anger, fear, or other emotions. Psalm 139 talks about how God knows us completely, a...

Hey family, is there a friend you can invite to our Christmas service this Sunday? The holidays can be lonely for those with no family nearby--or even no family at all. Jesus came to earth in order to seek and save the lost. This Sunday, let's introduce him to someone new when we come together as part of the family of God. We meet at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn St

Hey family, we have been celebrating the season of Advent with a series called LIGHT OF THE WORLD.

Kids' Church als...

Hey family, in our new series LIGHT OF THE WORLD, we're looking at what it means that light came into the world 2,000 years ago during Advent, when God entered into humanity in the flesh and made a way for us to have relationship with him. This week we're going to look at how the darkness in us squints at the light of Christ and maybe even wants to run away from it. It's a great time to examine ou...
