New Life Fellowship NYC Sermons

Pastor Rich continues our God, Politics and the Church series with a call to remember our prophetic and counter cultural call to be a different kind of community.

In this sermon, Pastor Rich leads us to consider the ways fear is used as a strategy to perpetuate hostility and division. We will learn how to love well in ways that resist fear and promote healing in our world.

In this sermon, Pastor Rich explores the ways politics takes a place in our lives that damages our relationship with God and each other. He spends time teaching on “political enmeshment” and how to faithfully engage politics without losing our distinctive call to follow Jesus.

This week, we begin a new sermon series on "God, Politics, and the Church." In a world caught in political hostility, the call to be Christ-followers is desperately needed. Pastor Rich offers a vision of Christian formation that helps us resist political entanglements, while bearing witness to the healing power of Jesus for the world.

At times, we find ourselves in a wilderness - seasons of waiting, transition, living with limits and the in-between. The wilderness in our lives provides a liminal space where God’s activity and invitation is more present than we may see.

Every September, we take the time to re-explore our Vision as a Church family. This Vision Sunday, Pastor Rich offers fresh insight into the kind of life that God calls us into. A life marked by particular values, rhythms and practices. Sermon Questions

Pastor Rich leads us in a special message to help us pay attention to our losses. It's often the case that we don't take time to grieve, and as result, we miss important opportunities for God's healing and grace to meet us. This service has contemplative elements to it, so please make space in your home to be attentive to God and ourselves during our time of worship.
