New Life Fellowship NYC Sermons

We continue our Advent sermon series, “Waiting for Jesus,” by turning from the theme of Waiting to the theme of Peacemaking. Advent invites us to reflect on Christ as the Prince of Peace and to prepare our hearts for his coming. We’ll explore how Matthew 5 calls us to embody God’s peace in tangible, restorative ways. Jesus’ words remind us that peacemaking is not passive but an active expression of God’s character in the world. Together, we’ll consider how meeting needs and righting wrongs become part of our faithful anticipation of Christ’s arrival. Scripture Referenced: Matthew 5

This message marks the beginning of our four-week Advent series, "Waiting For Jesus." As we turn to Psalm 130, we reflect on what it means to be a people who wait on the Lord with hope and expectancy. Like the watchman longing for the first light of dawn, we’ll consider how God shapes us in the waiting and invites us to trust His unfailing promises. Scripture Referenced: Psalm 130

This message continues our series through the Gospel of Mark. We explore a story where Jesus finds Himself among people of questionable reputation.

We continue our series through the Gospel of Mark as we explore Jesus as the Healer. Mark offers us a vivid snapshot of just twenty-four hours in the life of Jesus. In this brief yet beautiful account of His healing ministry, we discover profound truths about how to bring our own areas of brokenness before Him. This passage reveals what characterizes healing in the kingdom of God and how both healing and the absence of it can ultimately point us to something far greater. Scripture Referenced: Mark 1:29-34

We continue our series through the Gospel of Mark as we explore what it truly means to follow Jesus—and to fish with Him. At the heart of this message is the call to discipleship.

What is the Kingdom of God, and why does it matter for our everyday lives? This message explores one of Jesus’ central teachings in the Gospels—the good news that the Kingdom is near.

This message continues our journey through the Gospel of Mark with the story of Jesus’ baptism, a moment where His true identity is revealed more clearly.
