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

This past Sunday, Pastor Suzy Silk preached about creating a culture of honor that springs out of honoring Christ first.

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. H

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
