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

In this episode, we start a new series called Altars. Pastor Jon encouraged us to remember that through Jesus, we no longer have to offer sacrifices to enter into God's presence, but we are called to create new altars of prayer, praise, and encounter in our hearts.

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.
