New Life Fellowship NYC Sermons

In this sermon, Pastor Rich offers words before he goes off on a 3 1/2 month sabbatical. He preaches on Jesus's ministry of absence and what it means for his sabbatical, our own rhythms and the presence of the Spirit during these times.

Pastor Rich preaches on Jesus' first miracle recorded in the gospels, the turning of water into wine. He addresses what it means to encounter Jesus in times of crisis and how God's grace is abundantly poured out in some of the lowest moments of our lives.

Text: Mark 4:35-41 CSB As you will see from this text, it is about much more than the calming of a storm, in reality it is about Jesus’ real identity, his deity, he is God! The disciples would come to discover this truth over time and by God’s grace so will we.

The book of Matthew tells the story of a Syrophonecian woman who approached Jesus as he withdrew further into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Jesus appears to put her off, but she continues to plead for Jesus to heal her daughter, responding with “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” Jesus was moved by her faith and healed her daughter. Pastor Matt leads us in a message about how this woman pressed in and hung on to Jesus and what it means for our own faith.

We begin a new series entitled, "Encounters with Jesus." Over the next 2 months we will explore various stories from the gospels that highlight the ways Jesus encountered ordinary people and what it means for our lives.

In this Ten Commandments series finale, Pastor Rich preaches on the 10th command, “You shall not covet.” In a world that is marked by discontentment and an endless fascination with more, God’s final command is a path to true freedom and joy.

On this Easter Sunday, Pastor Rich preaches on the good news of Jesus' resurrection. In this passage, Jesus encounters two men who have experienced profound disappointment. The Risen Jesus finds them and helps them to make sense of his life and history as they knew it. If you or someone you know has experienced disappointment, this Easter sermon is for you.

We continue our sermon series through the 10 Commandments. Pastor Rich explores the 8th and 9th commandments together. He explains how these two commands damage community and the ways God calls his people to be marked by stewardship and honesty.

The ministry of reconciliation requires us to reckon with sociological realities and systemic injustices. But the first multicultural church testifies that true reconciliation begin with the power of the Holy Spirit.
