This past Sunday, Pastor Suzy Silk preached about creating a culture of honor that springs out of honoring Christ first. In turn, we receive honor from each other as we see each other's story, calling, sacrifice, gifts, authority, and future. Church of the City New York https://church.nyc | @churchofthecitynewyork

This past Sunday, Pastor @jontyson taught us that ambition is a good thing and a gift from God, when we can reframe it to have a holy ambition. We can do this through having kingdom vision, a crystallization of discontent and radical sacrificial action. A holy ambitions leads to divine accelerations.⁠

In this episode, Pastor Jon Tyson introduces our new series called CHURCH.NYC, discussing all the essential "Jesus stuff": the miracles, the message, and the mercy of Jesus. // 2020-01-05

In the third week of Advent, Pastor Jon Tyson reminds us that the incarnation was God chosing to make Himself known to us through Jesus Christ. Jesus showed up in the midist of scandal and obscurity, not to power over us, but draw us to Him, inviting all who believe to become children of God. // 2019-12-15   In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’”) Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. John 1:1-18   Church of the City New York https://church.nyc | @churchofthecitynewyork

In the second week of Advent, Jon Tyson reminds us that from Genesis to Relevation, God's desire is to be with His people. Throughout all the joys and all the sorrows of this season, God promises that He is with us and that we carry the gift of His presence with us wherever we go. // 2019-12-08   She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins. All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him "Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). - Matthew 1:21-23   Church of the City New York https://church.nyc | @churchofthecitynewyork

This week, Suzy Silk kicks off our series by giving a word on who the God of the Bible is. God is infinite, yet personal; just, yet merciful; Holy, and yet incarnate. We can respond to His coming with fear(lessness), joy, and adoration. //2019-12-01   Mary’s Song: "And Mary said: My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors.” -Luke 1:46-55   Church of the City New York https://church.nyc | @churchofthecitynewyork
