Pastor Jon preaches about choosing a Spirit-led life over one driven by the flesh, which is any independent coping mechanism for life apart from God. The flesh uses and destroys, the law judges and excludes, but the Spirit transforms and loves. Church of the City New York https://church.nyc | @churchofthecitynewyork

This past Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson shared a special message about how the Church has a chance to respond in the wake of this public health crisis. He urged us to use this time as an opportunity to grow deeper in our faith and move towards those around us with compassion. This has not taken God by surprise, and with our hope in Him, this could be the Church's finest hour.

Pastor Suzy Silk teaches about why sin is a "big deal" and why we will be studying it during this season of Lent. Sin is the opposite of God's original design for our world and is what separates us from Him, ourselves, and those around us. We cannot save ourselves, but we are ultimately freed from our sin through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and the resurrection on Easter.

Pastor Jon preached about the city of New York as an altar, calling for the people of God to come together in one heart and one mind, in order to seek the Lord, fast, and pray for our hearts to turn back to God.

In this episode, Pastor Suzy taught us about the importance of maintaining a communal altar of sacrifce and praise as a church, calling us to remember our first love, Christ, and cultivate a heart for Jesus together.

Pastor Jon talks about building altars in our home that pass on a spiritual inheritance to future generations. In Deuteronomy 6, God lays a clear pathway for how to develop resilient disciples. Specifically, He calls us to break off destructive generational patterns of spiritual complacency and worldliness, and to build a compelling vision of Himself, an ecosystem of discipleship, and a vision of spiritual legacy. This happens by creating environments where we’re always informing and discussing things of faith: at home, while we’re commuting, in daily transitions, when we leave and enter our home—every moment is an opportunity for discipleship.  - Church of the City New York https://church.nyc | @churchofthecitynewyork
