Lower Manhattan Community Church

This is the first of three sermons in our annual giving series. God is rich in generosity so we can be rich in generosity. Give like no one else, so you can live like no else.

Understanding who we are called to be precedes understanding what we are called to do. Jasmine Wood uses the story of Zacchaeus to illustrate how letting Jesus interrupt us and change us at our core is the best thing that can happen if we want to join in God’s bigger mission for His people. This is a special Mission Sunday message to celebrate the work of our partner organizations that embody Kingdom values and seek God’s justice.

Our Successful Spirituality series closes with a message on the mind. What story are you telling yourself? Our minds and the part of the story we’re focused on determine our outlook and destination. Lead Pastor Logan Gentry closes a six-week journey through Philippians with a message encouraging you to engage your mind, and to focus, above all else, on what is true.

If you’ve ever been in a situation that requires reconciliation, you know how hard it can be to move forward. Yet there’s a strong need for us to reconcile our differences and disagreements. In week five of our fall series, Logan Gentry provides a series of steps on how to be reconciled to those who have hurt you (or whom you’ve hurt) and makes a case for the benefits that are released when we achieve reconciliation.

What are your goals? Week five tackles big questions around the goals we set for ourselves and how they drive us forward. Lead Pastor Logan Gentry encourages every listener to press in toward their goals, but to reevaluate and reorient them in light of Christ and our heavenly home.

Week three of our fall series continues with a look at humility and the paradoxes found within the life of Jesus, God in the flesh, and our church. Lead Pastor Logan Gentry makes a moving case for increasing our attitudes, actions, and awareness of humility for the greater good.

Week two of our series on Successful Spirituality continues with a deeper look at limitations. Are challenging circumstances hindering you from reaching a full life with God, or advancing you closer to Him? This message offers practical ways to reframe limitations and see the beauty in embracing them.

Our new fall sermon series kicks off with a message from lead pastor Logan Gentry. In this message Logan defines spirituality and success, how we find contentment in our everyday lives, and concludes with an encouraging message to be patiently faithful.

Paul Little shares a deeply personal story vividly reflecting on the events of 9/11. Paul worked in building one of the World Trade Towers and shares what has taken place in his life and faith since that day. This is a “best of LMCC” message that will move you immensely and offer unshakeable, unfailing hope

Guest preacher Rich Perez brings his wisdom and humor to LMCC as he shares a message about Psalm 23. God is a shepherd with an invitation for us to lie down, and yet we often struggle to accept it. Pastor Rich offers perspective on why we fight rest and what truly satisfies during difficulty.

What is the greatest commandment and how do we go about fulfilling it? Alicia Lee delivers a message centered on God’s remarkable love for you, and takes an in-depth look at how we love Him with our heart, soul, and mind in return.

Most people have big expectations for their lives and strong desires for the future. That's generally a great thing, but not if we let our failed expectations drive us in the wrong direction. Marci Miller shares a message about letting go of the expectations that don't fulfill God's best for our lives.

Everyone gets disappointed, but is discouragement stopping you from looking up? Abraham discovered a ram in the bush, and Elijah discovered a cloud in the sky, but first they had to look up. Jasmine Wood closes our summer series on growth using these stories to encourage you to reset your gaze as you wait upon the Lord. Scripture: Ephesians 2:1-10; 1 Kings 18:41-46

Do Christians subscribe to karma? If not, what do we believe? Jasmine Wood offers an alternative to it by highlighting the importance of grace and mercy in the life of a believer, and shares a breakdown of what it means to sow and reap from the Spirit versus the flesh. Scripture: Galatians 6:1-10; Psalm 51:1-12

Jasmine Wood concludes a message on living as God’s field and building. If we are meant to be God’s temple, how should we build our lives? Let Paul’s words to the church be the encouragement you need to construct a life where you live up to your potential, live out your faith, and live a life that’s worthy of your purpose.

What do you have planned for the summer? Logan Gentry shares a message about preparing for an extended sabbath and delighting in God throughout the next few months.
