This Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson continued our Leverage series with a teaching on leveraging our love and the importance of an “undivided heart” from Psalm 86. There will always be a temptation to withhold part of our heart from God, but we were created to remain in His love. When we humble ourselves to learn how to fear His name and rely on His faithfulness, God promises to change our hearts to bear enduring fruit connected to Christ. 

This Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson continued our January sermon series, Leverage, with a teaching on how we can leverage our time for the glory of God. While the modern world is riddled with deceptive mindsets and mechanisms created to steal and waste our time, God calls us to be conscious stewards of our time, and aim to live in our current seasons with the knowledge and hope of our future in eternity with Him.

This Sunday, Pastor Suzy Silk continued our January teaching series, Leverage, with a teaching on leveraging our spiritual gifts for the Kingdom of God. We are each given one life, but often don’t know how to live in ways that are honoring to God. We might end up wasting, or wrongly using our lives, but as followers of Jesus, we can actually live a life fully pleasing to the Lord.

This Sunday, Pastor Jon kicked off our January sermon series, Leverage, which is centered on the idea of living a life free of regret and fully leveraged for the Kingdom of God. Regret is a distinctly human feeling, and Pastor Jon laid out how regret happens, the real life consequences that cause regret, how we can avoid regret, and how regret can be redeemed as we move into 2024.

Welcome to Church of the City New York’s Advent Devotionals.  Jesus was good news in the First Century, and He is still good news today. In the Christmas stories recounted in Scripture, people always responded to Jesus with amazement and praise. This response came from deep longings and heartbreak being met with God breaking in to fulfill His promises, offer His forgiveness, bring His justice and peace, and extend His love. This Christmas, we hope you will have your own encounter with the person of Jesus and the good news of His birth, and like those of old, let your song of praise resound to the world around you.

This week, Pastor Suzy Silk continued our Advent series, Resound, with a teaching on Mary’s Song recorded in Luke. The accounts of the Christmas story given in Luke’s Gospel are intentionally noted as eye witness accounts, establishing the story of Jesus’ birth as historical fact, not fable or fiction. His approach invites us to receive the Good News of the birth of the Messiah, as true, and respond as Mary did, with great joy.   We invite you to prayerfully consider practicing the way of generosity through financial giving to the Living the Liturgy offering at church.nyc/give.

In this week’s message, Pastor Jon Tyson led us through Zechariah’s song, found in Luke 1:57-80, that broke forth after Zechariah and Elizabeth received their promised, long awaited son. Zechariah and Elizabeth serve as examples of waiting well, a discipline that receives little regard in our world of instant gratification. By attuning our thoughts to the Lord, worshiping Him together with preemptive praise, and spending time in the promises of His Word, we can follow their example of waiting with hope.   We invite you to prayerfully consider practicing the way of generosity through financial giving to the Living the Liturgy offering at church.nyc/give.

This week, Pastor Suzy Silk began our Advent series with a message from Luke 2:25-35, which recounts Simeon’s encounter with baby Jesus in the temple. Through his faithfulness to the Lord, despite so many years of waiting, Simeon was finally able to see not only his personal prayers answered, but also recognize the greater picture of God’s redemption of the world through Jesus.   We invite you to prayerfully consider practicing the way of generosity through financial giving to the Living the Liturgy offering at church.nyc/give.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim Brown closed out our Compelling Missional Disciples series with a teaching on Jesus’ missional call to believers to share the Gospel with all people. Evangelism is often misunderstood and neglected in the Western church, but the reality is we must embrace this practice to fully live into the identity Jesus won for us on the cross and become His ambassadors on the earth.   We invite you to prayerfully consider practicing the way of generosity through financial giving to the Living the Liturgy offering at church.nyc/give. 

This Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson continued our Compelling Missional Disciples series by surveying the current cultural landscape, and pointing us to the Biblical mandate God has given us to create and steward a culture that glorifies Him. As the only creatures with the distinct ability to acknowledge what is beyond ourselves, Pastor Jon invited us to live with God’s vision of cultural renewal in our time, brought about by our intentional stewardship of God’s gifts to us. d We invite you to prayerfully consider practicing the way of generosity through financial giving at church.nyc/give.
