Reunion Church NYC

Happy Easter from Reunion! In today's sermon, Russel shares how the good news of Jesus and his resurrection is not just a metaphor, but something to be taken in - in our minds (with evidence) and in our hearts (with hope). Because of Jesus's resurrection, we can believe that nothing is irredeemable.

In today's sermon, we celebrate Palm Sunday and unpack the spiritual discipline of humility, learning how Jesus modeled humility even in his triumphant entry into Jerusalem, knowing the ultimate sacrifice he would make for us all.

In today's sermon, we focus on an "outward" spiritual disciple - witnessing. Everyone is already a witness to something - good news, food, stories, etc. How can we as followers of Christ find ways to naturally share our genuine experiences with Jesus and the impact He has made in our lives?

In today's sermon, we unpack the spiritual discipline of simplicity. Modern life is designed to crowd God out, but Jesus offers a life free from anxiety and stress through trust and receiving life as a grace. Russel shares what it could look like to live a simple life externally, and more importantly, internally.

In today's sermon, we are joined by friend Brandon Dunkley, as we learn about another spiritual discipline to practice in this Lenten season - contemplation, one that involves a bit of “hide and seek”. We will explore a framework for how to seek God by focusing our awareness on the presence of His Holy Spirit and the redeeming love of Jesus Christ.

In today's sermon, we are joined by Katie Rader, our Volunteer Director, as she speaks about service. Everyone agrees that service is good, but sometimes we do it for the wrong reasons. Katie speaks about how we form our service, what it looks like to be a true servant, and how we can be a servant in all aspects of our lives.

We continue The Good and Beautiful Life series, exploring spiritual practices we can partake in during the Lenten season. In today's sermon, Russel talks about fasting - what is it, why do we fast, and what can we hope to have revealed to us when we fast.

This Sunday we are kicking off a new teaching series, called The Good and Beautiful Life. But before diving in, we will spend this Sunday specifically, casting some vision around our Good and Beautiful Church. Our theme this year is discipleship - and we are very excited about how we together as a community will continue to mold ourselves around the life Jesus envisioned and embodied for us in thi...

In today's sermon, we are joined by a dear member of Reunion, Christine Thomas Yoon, who shares the last story in our "Encounters with Jesus" series. We get a closer look into the life of Peter, and how the love of Jesus never abandons him, even throughout the lowest part of his story.

In today's sermon, we are joined by beloved staff member Brianna Rapp, who shares about a Samaritan woman's encounter with Jesus. Bri shares about how Jesus's love fully welcomes and embraces anything we give Him and challenges us to give our all to Him.

In today's sermon, we are joined by honored friend Emily Gordon, who shares about the encounter that Jairus and his daughter had with Jesus. Emily speaks about falling at the feet of Jesus, Jesus's invitation to not fear but just believe, and to trade in our "superior" knowledge for miracle-believing faith.

In today's sermon, we reflect on the passage where the Samaritan woman encounters Jesus in John 4. Russel shares how Jesus crosses all boundaries and barriers to connect with us, simultaneously inviting us in with tenderness and compassion and challenging us to find deeper meaning in Him.

This Sunday, we begin our new teaching series: Encounters with Jesus with guest speaker Alicia Lee, an elder at Lower Manhattan Community Church. Alicia shares the story of King Nebuchadnezzar and his encounter with Jesus in the book of Daniel, and what the story could mean for us as we try to follow Jesus in New York City.

This Sunday, we continue to set the stage around the theme of discipleship, asking ourselves where exactly are we right now in our journey of discipleship, while at the same time naming where it is we want to be.

For our Christmas service, Russel shares how the Christmas story of Jesus is about the idea of an unconditional love that goes to the margins becomes real. Jesus comes to Earth to love all people, and through that, that we may also embody the love of Jesus to our neighbors.

In today's sermon, we are joined by special guest Josiah Haken, CEO of City Relief, which is a faith-based nonprofit organization to aid the unhoused in NYC. Josiah speaks on why Christians are called to serve the poor intentionally, and how we can go about it in our lives.

This weekend marks the first Sunday of the Advent season! We will be spending the next four Sundays setting the stage and revealing the magnificence of our God removing Himself from the glory of the world's standards to be with those on the margins.

In today's sermon, we are joined by Charlie Welke, a pastor at City Coast Church in Connecticut, who wraps up the Theological Renewal series and preaches on how nothing can separate us from the love of Christ.

In today's sermon, we continue in our Theological Renewal series as Russel shares about how God's love for us cannot lessen because He is love, and how we often struggle to perceive our inherent worth and to accept the truths about who we are in Christ, and yet we have Jesus who is actively interceding for us at the right hand of God.

In today's sermon, we continue our Theological Renewal journey in Romans 8. Paul's words in verses 28-30 might be hard for us to understand at a surface level reading, but let's dive in deep and see what God is ultimately trying to orient us toward.

Today, we are joined by guest speaker and friend, Guy Wasko. Guy speaks on the acknowledgement that the world is broken, groaning in frustration that things are not the way things should be. However, the Holy Spirit is helping us and interceding for us to make us whole with God.

In today's sermon, Russel continues the series in Romans 8 - nothing can separate us from the love of God, not even suffering. We learn more about how suffering is real, overwhelming, often unfair, but most importantly that suffering can be meaningful.

In today's sermon, we continue to unpack Romans 8 - specifically looking at the wonderful gift the Holy Spirit is to us. It's through the Spirit that we come to experience the weightiness of Jesus and understand that we have been made co-heirs alongside Him in this partnership to help put the world back together again.

This weekend, we are joined by friend and guest speaker, Peter Ong. Peter continues to walk us through Romans 8 and speaks about three things - disordered desires, things in our life that cause spiritual death, and how Jesus is our ultimate deliverer.

In today's sermon, we kick off a new series - Theological Renewal - where we dive into the book of Romans and begin a journey from the head to the heart, where we will learn that true transformation takes place through the renewing of our minds.
