What would you say to a close friend, if you knew it was the last time you'd ever seen them? In saying farewell to his pupils, the Apostle Paul provides leadership wisdom born out of grace. s

 Can People Change? The Christian faith is about an inner transformation that impacts and informs all of life in an ongoing and ever increasing way. What we learn from Acts 1:1-19, is that a personal transformation lived out makes belief viable, visible, and valuable.

In a life filled with uncertainties, how do you increase your faith? 

Waiting is a universal experience, and it's really really hard. Yet, today, we see that waiting is where God meets us.

What do you call a man who is running from danger, while running to danger? You'd call that man desperate.

Jonah is called to the great city of Nineveh to speak against its evil, and yet he flees. Why?

With Jesus' call to follow him, he provides what every human seeks; acknowledgement, understanding, and commitment.

This week we're taking a break from our summer series. Thankful to Rev. David Bisgrove of Redeemer WS with us this week.

The story of Naaman is this, there is a kind of significance, security and a kind of healing that cannot be earned, it must be received. Yet, God doesn’t just want to give us those things; he wants to immerse us in them.

Today we welcome back our friend, Pastor Aswan Morris, who will teach on Mark 10:17-22 and how Jesus want to make people whole. Enjoy!

Today's passage deals with a spiritual test. This is not so much a test that produces faith, as it is a test to reveal it. Join us as we explore Genesis 22:1-19.

Guest teacher Stan Thomas shows us how the words of Jesus call us to see our own hunger and invited us to feed on that which will truly satisfy. Jesus, himself.

Jesus said He would send the Spirit to us to be our Helper, Comforter, and Guide. When the Spirit comes he do so without delay through a refining Fire. This Fire recognizes and removes barriers in order to draw people to the Lord.

With the Stoning of Stephen, we have an account of the first Xian martyr, who experiences “hell on earth”. Yet, he receives a vision is so captivating, so informative that even in the worst moment imaginable, Stephen is not hopeless, hateful, or disappointed.

This week we had the privilege of sitting under the teaching of Aswan Morris. Aswan is Regional Director of Young Life for the Manhattan and the Bronx, and a real gift to NYC.

A proper reflection on Holy Week may allow one to arrive at the Empty Tomb, and see its full of meaning.

With today's passage we learn that while never less than thoughtful, the Christian life is more than an intellectual exercise. Having been healed of blindness we learn from John 9:1-41 what it looks like to walk with confidence in God without having to have all the answers. 

Today, James Payne draws out helpful and hopeful observations from the story of the Samaritan women who comes to a well looking for water. Only, she finds something much much more.  

With this brief conversation Jesus doesn’t just interrupt Nicodemus' train of thought, but he interrupts his story. Join us during this season of Lent where we're invited into a new story, one that's bigger than our own. 

Today we see Jesus being led by the Spirit into the Wilderness to be tested. As those who walk with Christ during the Lenten season, we gladly go where we do not want to go. 

How does one neighbor love another as themselves? It begins with beholding. 

Today's passage describes a group of friends who forcefully assert their will, but not for themselves. They do so to bring their friend closer to Jesus. Being a good neighbor is an act of faith. 

Nobody comes to NYC to be a Neighbor, but in the bible being a Neighbor is a big deal. So what can we learn?

To believe in the providence of God in your life is to believe that everything happens for a reason, including where you live. 

Jesus teaches a hostile crowd the "Great Commandment".  In doing so, we learn that the holy moments of Christ aren't just at the beginning and end of his earthly life, but holy moments are always taking place wherever he is. This is the first sermon in our series on Neighboring.
