Hey Family, A new life in Christ Jesus leads to a new way of living for us. Have you thought recently about what it means to be a born-again Christian? We often hear that term, but we may not know what it means. Jesus spells it out in the book of John, and this Sunday you are invited to hear Pastor Gus speak on the words of Christ regarding this topic. Use this opportunity to invite someone who ha...

Hey Family, I hope you'll make a special effort to join us this Sunday to hear guest speaker Pastor David Louw of Trinity Grace Church. He'll be talking about the new family we all join when we accept Christ as our Savior. Being part of that new family means we experience all kinds of blessings that we never had before. Service starts at 10 a.m.--hope to see you there!

Hey Family, If you attended our 10 p.m. New Year's Eve service, you heard Pastor Raymond Ramos give a passionate talk on Isaiah chapter 40. This Sunday he will continue that message. What happens when we trust in the Lord, even when it seems that he does not see our pain and our troubles? What happens when we come to understand who God truly is, and what he is able to do in our lives? You will be...

Hey Family, When you look around at the world we live in and the problems that so many people suffer from--poverty, homelessness, no way to speak up for themselves--what do you think? Do you have sympathy for those in need or do you turn aside and hope not to see anything too disturbing? God tells us in His word that we are to have a heart for the needy. What breaks God's heart should break ours a...

Hey Family, Every first Sunday of the month we take communion together as a church family. Have you ever wanted to get deeper into your understanding of that sacrament? Communion with Christ is being in union with Christ. During the Last Supper, Jesus established a new covenant in his body and blood. Faith in Christ leads us to commune with him. Come join us this Sunday at 10 a.m. as we learn of t...

Hey Family, The last week of an old year, and the beginning of a new year, are wonderful times for reflection. We get to think deeply about God's grace and mercy in our lives, and about where the Spirit has been leading us. This Sunday we'll talk about what new things look like, and how to start a new year not through following short-lived resolutions, but by being led by the Holy Spirit. I look f...

Hey Family, This Sunday we're looking forward to a very special day as we come together with Resurrection Church for a joint service. The Bible speaks about how when Christians are unified, we demonstrate the beauty of Christ. So coming together is a very special thing to do, and this week we get an incredible opportunity to see how two different churches from two different backgrounds can really...

Hey Family, Last week we started a new season that looks forward to Christ's birth, and we learned that a time of waiting can be a great opportunity to help us recognize God's power in our lives. In our second week of the series, we're going to talk about moments of difficulty and great pain, while we're waiting and we don't know the outcome of our present circumstances. In those circumstances, on...

Hey Family, Waiting is probably the most difficult thing for us to do when it comes to important things in our lives. Whether we're waiting for the verdict of a judge, waiting for our beloved to return after a long separation, waiting for the deal to close, or the pain to stop, or the next opportunity to begin, waiting has always been difficult. That's what the Advent season is all about. The very...

Hey Family, Our Thanksgiving Day banquet here at RHOW-Brooklyn was a blessing to many, many people! Thank you very much to all of you who volunteered yesterday. This Sunday we welcome John Fils-Aime, one of our favorite guest pastors, who will be speaking from the book of Joshua. It's also Celebration Sunday, when we recognize birthdays and anniversaries. Always a special day!

Hey Family, This week we finish THE WAR, our series about spiritual warfare. We learned about preparing ourselves with the armor of God--the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the belt of truth, the sword of the spirit, and feet prepared with the gospel of peace. But when it comes right down to it, how does one put on the armor of God every day? Because eve...

Hey Family, There’s only so much you can take before you snap. Shields are great, breastplates protect, helmets are helpful, but there’s a certain point where you need to be able to strike back. In our series called THE WAR, we’ve been looking at the spiritual armor that God gives us in order to combat any difficult time in our lives. But how, after defending ourselves, do we move forward? The ans...
