Reunion Church NYC

We wrap up the Relational Renewal series with Russel speaking about handling conflict - conflict is almost inevitable in our relationships, so how can we learn from the Bible how to handle conflict well?

This Sunday we celebrated a big event - Reunion Church's 3rd anniversary! In today's sermon, we are joined by guest speaker and friend, Brian Wright from Foundry Church, who is sharing a word with us on spiritual mentorship. What does spiritual mentorship mean and what does it look like? Do you have one? Are you one? Listen to learn more.

We all have unmet expectations. The question is - what do we do in light of them? In today's sermon, we lean into God's Word that gives us guidance on how to love those who don't always live up to our expectations. Loving others can be hard - but especially in the life and person of Jesus - we see that it's always worth it.

Continuing through our new series on renewing our relationships, we will be taking a look at a story found in 1 Samuel 25. This story is a story of grief and pain - and we will come to find that if we don't take the necessary time to transform our pain for something good, we might end up transmitting it to those around us.

This week, we kick off our fall series: Relational Renewal - Emotionally Healthy Principles For Those We Love. This teaching series comes from the heart of our vision as a community this year which is to Join God in God's Renewing Work. Russel shares how loving others begins by being loved and loving God.

In today's sermon, Russel shares how habits have the power to shape us, and so it is crucial to reflect on the habits we are cultivating in our lives. We must continuously ask ourselves, "Are the things I'm doing everyday ultimately leading me closer to or further from the heart of Jesus?"

Russel returns from Sabbatical and speaks to us about the command we have been given to keep Sabbath - both because it is holy and also because we are no longer slaves. By taking a day to rest, play, delight, we are standing against the pressures of the world to do more, to work harder, and to work faster. God's desire is for us to regularly stop and remind ourselves of His goodness and His love f...

We wrap up the Summer Mixtape series and are joined by Emmanuel Rodriguez, a pastor who is preparing to plant a church in Washington Heights. Emmanuel guides us through the beginning verses of Isaiah 6, a passage that presents a profound paradox: the holiness of God inspires both reverence and fear, while simultaneously inviting us to draw near to Him.

In today's sermon, we are joined by a dear friend in our Reunion community, Emily Gordon. Emily will be walking us through a variety of stories throughout the Bible that involve moments of waiting. No one - especially here in NYC - likes waiting, but the thread we will see in all of these stories is how God actually meets us in these holy moments of waiting, pointing us back to something true and...

In today's sermon, we are joined by Kristian Hernandez, lead pastor of Hope Astoria in Queens. Pastor Kris shares how a parable from the gospel of Luke connects with the book of Isaiah that portrays Israel as a vineyard. More importantly, we learn about how the sin to be our own God is often times the reason underneath our other sins. In what areas are we acting like owners when we are just tenant...

In today's sermon, we are joined by Brandon Dunkley, former staff and a close friend of Reunion, who speaks about the different ways to worship the Lord. More importantly, we learn about the why for worship - to outwardly express our love for God.

In today's sermon, we are joined by Peter Rhee, a pastor in the midst of planting a church and a worker for CarePortal. Peter speaks about the book of Zephaniah, that while a just God must judge all evil in the world, His judgments stem from an unfathomable love for His people, aimed at restoring us from the sins we fail to recognize.

In today's sermon, we are joined by Jennifer Chan, who currently serves as the Missional Catalyst for City to City New York, and speaks about hope. As hopeslessness rises in our culture, we tend to load hope onto work or self-made identity, but we learn what can be offered to us when we instead choose to place our hope in Jesus.

This weekend we are launching our new series: Summer Mixtape! We've invited guests near and far to be with us, sharing some of their most favorite teachings of all time. First up, we have Jared Hart who has a special message planned for us looking at one of the oldest metaphors of our relationship with God: pottery. Join us as we unpack this verse and discover how this journey is all about trust,...

What really brings purpose and meaning to the life we live each and every day? In this sermon, we look at the book of Ecclesiastes. Russel speaks about how the context of everything being meaningless in this life actually points to something else - God - who gives us true meaning.

Join us today as we wrap up the Holy Spirit series. We will be examining the passage in Galatians 5 that speaks on the fruits of the Holy Spirit, leaving us with a thought that perhaps the life we actually want is found when we are keeping in step with the Spirit.

Russel continues the series about the Holy Spirit, learning about the gifts given to us through the Holy Spirit and where those gifts might fit in God's bigger story. We learn about how the gifts of the Spirit are given so that we may prepared for works of service, build unity among the body, and ultimately be used for the love of our neighbors.

Russel continues the series about the Holy Spirit, diving deeper into what the Spirit makes us. We will explore this idea that maybe our identity isn't something gained, but rather something we are given.

Join us over the course of the next 4 weeks as we kick off the series about the Holy Spirit. In today's sermon, we learn what this dance with the Trinity is really all about, who/what the Holy Spirit is shown as in the Bible, and how we can commune with the Holy Spirit.

This Sunday is the final teaching in our Practicing Renewal series, with the goal to continue to Join God in God's Renewing Work. Russel talks about what it looks like to practically live a winsome life. How are we supposed to look at evangelism? Is evangelism a call for everyone? Join us as we look specifically at Paul's words in Colossians.

Russel continues in the Renewal Series, speaking about physical healing. Have you ever wondered if God still heals? Does He actually hear and answer our prayers for physical healing? If you have physical pain, we invite you (doubts & all!) to come and hear how healing might be possible for you in the person of Jesus.

We continue the Renewal series, with Russel speaking about what responsible stewardship looks like as children of God. Russel dives into the perspectives we have around money, and how when we are able to view everything we have as a gift from God, it allows us to give freely to those around us, ultimately allowing us to join God in His renewing work here on earth.

Russel continues the Renewal series by speaking about simplicity, both outwards and inwards. In a time and nation where materialism is king, we explore how living a simpler life helps us to have more contentment and peace by leaving more room in our lives to be with a God who knows what we need.

Reunion Church begins its Renewal Series, digging deeper into Reunion's theme for the year - what it looks like to join God in God's renewing work. Russel starts with the theme of creation care - what does it mean for us as followers of Christ to steward, serve, and care for the earth and the environment that God has created?

We are joined by honored guest, Brandon Dunkley, as he goes into Eastertide - the season between Easter and Pentecost. Brandon speaks about how Jesus goes from "He is risen" to "He is with us," and how Jesus is with us now in every step of our faith, even in moments when we are struggling to believe
