Pursuit NYC: Recent Episodes
Pursuit NYC
We are back! Our first podcast of 2022 is a sermon by Pastor Sam Won that was recorded live earlier this summer at Building 103 Church in Pennsylvania. It's a heartfelt message that has been stirring since the beginning of the new year. It's a call to not grow weary in doing good because a harvest is indeed coming! God is raising up a remnant in this hour and refining His Church. Yet the way to stay the course isn't by trying harder, but by seeing Jesus in a new and fresh way. Hope this message encourages you today!

We serve a good God who turns what the enemy meant for evil into good. In the same way, He can redeem a crisis and turn into a catalyst for revival. At our most recent gathering, Pastor Samuel Won shared a timely exhortation for this moment in history that we are in. Listen and be encouraged!
You can do many things for God without God. The temptation in this generation is to put an emphasis on doing things for Him without ever actually being with Him. At our February Gathering, Danny Kang preaches a powerful message on abiding above all. Check it out!
If you won't be offended in one season, God can use you in the next! We believe God has amazing things in store for you and wants to use you, but we can't carry our old offenses into the new year and new decade. It's time to let them go and choose to be unoffendable! At the first gathering of 2020, Pastor Sam Won shares a message on overcoming offenses from the life of John the Baptist. Check it out!
United Young is a free app created to help believers meet people who are passionate about Jesus! This app was created by an amazing husband and wife team based in NYC.

To learn more, visit: https://www.unitedyoung.com/
At the last gathering of 2019, Pastor Sam Won shared a powerful message from Luke 1:26-38. In this passage, Mary hears most likely for the first time in her life that she has the favor of God. Not only that, she's highly favored! Yet that doesn't mean her life is going to get easier, but actually more challenging. If you've ever felt the same way before, this message is for you. Check it out! We believe this will encourage you today.
<< A sermon by Samuel Won recorded live at our November Gathering. Special thanks to Resting Place for hosting! >>
"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize." -- 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Ever since Jesus started His earthly ministry, there has always been a stark difference between those who were His fans and those who were His followers. In this powerful message by Danny Kang from our July Gathering, he asks a sobering question: are you a fan or a follower of Jesus? Looking at Mark 5 and 6, Danny unpacks for us the key to seeing revival. This is a must listen!

If what Jesus tells us in John 14:12 is true, the implications are wild! Yet why do we then settle for less than all that God has for us?

This was recorded live from our June Gathering.

We can easily become discouraged by not seeing the fruit of our labor and as a result become weary in doing good. But we are encouraged to not give up because at the proper time we will surely reap a harvest! At our November Gather, Pastor Sam Won encouraged us to not quit until we see revival come. He shared from Galatians 6 and Hosea 10. Let us not give up until revival comes! Amen!
