Hey family, what if your deepest pain was exactly the time when Jesus wanted to show you who He really is? This Sunday we explore the moment when Jesus declared, "I am the resurrection and the life."If we miss this, we miss everything. So please come this Sunday as we continue with our sermon series. We meet at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn St. in downtown Brooklyn. Kids ages 5-12 are invited to iGnite Kidz Church, also at 10 a.m.
This Sunday, we’re asking a question most of us never stop to consider: Who’s really leading your life? Whether it’s culture, comfort, a relationship, or even your own voice, something is shaping your direction.But what happens when life gets hard, we make some bad choices or maybe have to start over again?Jesus makes a stunning claim in John 10. Not just that He’s a guide—but that He’s the Shepherd who stays, sacrifices, and knows you completely. Join us as we look at a love that doesn’t run, and a voice that can be trusted. We meet at 10 a.m. on Sundays, 360 Schermerhorn. Kids' Church starts at 10 a.m. as well for ages 5-12. --Edwin
Hey family, I hope you are enjoying this Memorial Day weekend. Every Sunday I tell you that you are not attending a service, but that God is constructing a soul. And the reason we say this is to be reminded that this is a slow work of Jesus and we need each other along the way. So I look forward to seeing you this Sunday as we worship Jesus and take communion together--while God is constructing our souls. We meet at 360 Schermerhorn St. at 10 a.m. Kids' church begins at 10 as well. --Edwin
family, I hope you'll invite a friend this Sunday when we continue our brand-new series, The Jesus I Never Knew. All of us have seen those game shows where the contestant has to pick either door #1, door #2, or door #3. Usually there's a wonderful prize behind one door and something not so wonderful behind the other two. Since we're all familiar with doors being a way to either great treasure or terrible disappointment, it's interesting when Jesus says about himself, "I am the door." He's speaking to the desperate needs we all have in our lives--for security, salvation, satisfaction, and more. He's a door that we all need to walk through and trust. I look forward to seeing all of you at 360 Schermerhorn. Church for adults and for kids ages 5-12 starts at 10 a.m. --Edwin
Hey family, we look forward to seeing you this Sunday when we celebrate Mother's Day. We'll continue our new series called "The Jesus I Never Knew," looking at seven "I am" statements that Jesus made about himself. Some of the biggest heartaches we'll ever have come from not understanding who God is, and nobody tells us who
Hey family, we're starting a brand-new series called "The Jesus I Never Knew." We're going to look at seven "I am" statements that Jesus made in the book of John that will allow us to see Jesus in a new and profound light. Some of the biggest heartaches we'll ever have in life come from not understanding who God is, and nobody tells us who God is better than Jesus. Invite a friend who wants to figure out whether Christianity is for them--or a friend who wants to deepen their walk with Christ. Let's pursue him together.
Listen in on our guest speaker Pastor Hau Liu. We are Easter people living in a Good Friday world
Hey family, the next few days are an amazing opportunity to invite your friends to church. First, this Sunday, April 13, is Palm Sunday, which commemorates Jesus riding into Jerusalem to be greeted by crowds cheering and waving palms. Next will be Good Friday, April 18, when you will experience a truly special service like none we have ever done before, followed by a delicious catered meal. (Please reserve your spots by clicking on this link!) And then, of course, Sunday April 20 is Easter itself, Resurrection Sunday, the holiest day on the Christian calendar. There will be a special Easter service for kids 5-12 as well. Sunday services start at 10 a.m. On Good Friday, the doors will open at 5:30 and service begins at 6, with dinner to follow.I cannot stress how important it is to invite others. Souls matter, and eternal souls matter. Your friends are looking for hope. In this very crazy world, where politics and finances and everything else seem so wild right now, we find our hope in Christ. So please put these dates down and invite your friends. --Edwin
The humility of GodHey family, this Sunday our visiting speaker, Brad Franklin, will continue our series called The Humility of God. We'll look especially at Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and learn how we can actually live out the same humility that characterized Jesus' own life. Does that seem impossible to you? If you want to get a jump on the conversation, read Matthew 5:1-12. We meet at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn St. Please invite a friend. Easter is coming up and this is one of the best times of year to invite people into our church family. Kids' Church starts at 10 a.m. as well. --Edwin
Hey family, this Sunday, we have a wonderful service planned as we learn how to grow in the Christian faith. This is an important topic because many of us can be in Christ and yet find ourselves stagnant in our Christian growth. This gives us an opportunity to figure out not only how to grow but also to recognize that growth is something that God does in us and through us. See you at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St.Announcement: Congregational meeting, Sunday March 30, immediately after service. It’s important that we get together on a regular basis in order to know what’s going on in this new family in Jesus that we’re connected to at Next Step Community Church. On Sunday, March 30, immediately after service, we will provide updates, share some news, and give opportunities for you to get involved in ministry. We would love it if you will attend. --Edwin
family, Pastor Edwin here—first of all, you need to know that on Sunday the roads will be crowded with people running the NYC Half Marathon, so take public transportation to get to church. And now for the real important part of this message!In our latest series we’ve been talking about our identities—who we are now that we believe in Christ. As we’ve said before, the most important thing about you is what you think about God. The second most important thing is what you think about yourself. There’s no need to struggle with a wrong identity that was bestowed upon us early in our lives and simply does not fit anymore. I look forward to talking more about this on Sunday. We meet at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St. Kids ages 5-12 have their own service starting 10 a.m. as well. See you there,
Hey family, before we start, I just want you to know that there are a lot of different ways that we’re growing together in our church this year. We have Bible studies, service opportunities, and even a salsa class coming up! So get plugged in on Sundays and start growing.The most important thing in the world is what you think about God. The second most important is what you think about yourself. Many of us grew up in families who instilled in us an identity that no longer matches who we are in Christ. Perhaps it is was through verbal abuse, physical abuse, or psychological abuse. Or maybe you just heard from the world this idea that you couldn’t be free, grow healthy, or move forward with what God has called you to do. This week is the second part of our IDENTITY series. We’re going to look at the scriptures and see what God says about us--and how that changes everything, in every aspect of our lives. We meet at 10 a.m. on Sundays, 360 Schermerhorn St. Bring a friend! Kids Church for ages 5-12 also starts at 10.
Hey family, last week was so important, as we talked about finding our identity in Christ through Ephesians chapter 1. We will pick up with that message, but this Sunday I'm happy to tell you that Pastor John Fils-Aime will be speaking the word of God. We meet at 10 a.m. Sundays, 360 Schermerhorn St., and kids' church meets for children ages 5-12 will meet at 10 also. --EdwinAnnouncements: Join us for a 13-week study on what it means to be a Christian. You can purchase the GROWING IN CHRIST booklet after service this Sunday, and we meet by Zoom on Mondays at 6:30.
Hey family, it's important to be a church that does life together, from learning to fun! Two opportunities are starting soon that will be a great opportunity to meet new people and to grow in being a Christian. First, we're starting a Zoom Bible study that EVERYONE is invited to join. It's called Growing in Christ, and it's a great way to develop habits of Bible study and learning scripture. You can buy the class book after service on Sunday (only $7). The class starts Monday at 6:30 on Zoom. Second, did you ever want to learn salsa dancing? Now's your chance! We'll be announcing the details soon.I look forward to seeing you at service Sunday! We meet at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St. in downtown Brooklyn. Kids' Church for ages 5-12 also starts at 10. --Edwin
family, join us this Sunday as we hear what Jesus has to say about what matters most. Pastor Gus Rodriguez will speak this week on how often we give our best to things that can be overwhelming. However, Jesus has a clear command about what matters most. Join us at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn. IgNite Kidz church starts at 10 a.m. as well for children ages 5-12. --Edwin
Hey family, our scripture this Sunday will be from Luke chapter 18, verses 18-30. Jesus is speaking to a young man who loves God deeply and has kept all the commandments--but refuses to give up one thing. Please join us this Sunday as Pastor Hau Liu from Hope Church NYC speaks on this important topic. We meet at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St. in Brooklyn. Children's church starts at 10 a.m. as well. --Edwin
Hey family, one of the things I want to do this January is lay out the year and where we're going. I want us to be focused on health. Healthy growth in Christ and healthy relating with others in our church, as well as a healthy connection with those outside of our church. We have an opportunity to grow in love with Jesus and with one another, and we want to take very intentional steps toward this. So let's start this Sunday to make 2025 one of those years where things deeply change in our hearts and also in our relationships. Bring a friend! I look forward to seeing you at 360 Schermerhorn St. Our service starts at 10 a.m., and so does IgNite Kidz for children ages 5-12. See you then! --Edwin
Hey family, we are so pleased this Sunday to welcome Dr. Steven Smith as our guest speaker. He'll be speaking a message of deliverance for all of us. In the Book of Exodus, we learned that God used the struggles of the Israelites to bring them to himself. He freed them from slavery and guided them through the trackless desert on their way to the promised land. Just like the Israelites, we face struggles in our own lives. How does God use those struggles to deliver us? Come Sunday at 10 a.m. to be enlightened!We meet at 360 Schermerhorn St. Kids' Church also starts at 10 a.m., so please bring your family! --Edwin
Our inside lives matter to GodHey family, we'll start this new year with a look at how important it is to examine our inside lives. We might work very hard to make sure others see a confident, capable person on the outside... but if we don't examine deep inside ourselves, we might get tripped up by unacknowledged anger, fear, or other emotions. Psalm 139 talks about how God knows us completely, all the way through, and how He is much more concerned what's going on with our hearts than what we show on the outside. Please join us at 10 a.m. on Sunday, 360 Schermerhorn St., and bring a friend to start the new year right. IgNite Kidz children's church for ages 5-12 starts at 10 a.m. as well. --Edwin
Hey family, is there a friend you can invite to our Christmas service this Sunday? The holidays can be lonely for those with no family nearby--or even no family at all. Jesus came to earth in order to seek and save the lost. This Sunday, let's introduce him to someone new when we come together as part of the family of God. We meet at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn St
Hey family, we have been celebrating the season of Advent with a series called LIGHT OF THE WORLD. This Sunday we continue to talk about what it means that Jesus came to earth to seek and save the lost. If you missed last week's message, you can listen to it here: Home - Next Step Community Church Please bring a friend to tomorrow's service. We meet at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn. Kids' Church also starts at 10, for children ages 5-12. --EdwinAnnouncements: Children's Christmas party: Sunday, Dec. 22, 10 a.m. Invite a family to join us! Christmas service: Sunday, Dec. 22, 10 a.m.
Hey family, in our new series LIGHT OF THE WORLD, we're looking at what it means that light came into the world 2,000 years ago during Advent, when God entered into humanity in the flesh and made a way for us to have relationship with him. This week we're going to look at how the darkness in us squints at the light of Christ and maybe even wants to run away from it. It's a great time to examine our own hearts and even invite a friend who has been struggling with God. Join us at 360 Schermerhorn St. Service starts at 10 a.m., and so does iGnite Kidz for children ages 5-12. --Edwin
Subject line: It's nearly ChristmasHey family, churches around the world are beginning to celebrate the season of Advent. Advent means "arrival," and it means the start of an event or the arrival of a person. Christians refer to Advent as the four weeks leading up to Christmas, the day we celebrate the coming of Jesus on Earth. Join us tomorrow, Dec. 1, as Pastor Edwin explains more about Advent and leading us in learning about this time of hope, love, joy and peace.We meet at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn St. Our iGnite Kidz children's church for ages 5-12 also starts at 10. We hope to see you there.
Hey family, rescuing people from a lifetime of negative behaviors and painful consequences is what Jesus loves to do. He accepts us, forgives us, sets us on a new path. Our belief in Him is what save us. But do we truly honor him as Lord? This Sunday we'll learn the difference between life-changing faith... and fire insurance.Join us at 360 Schermerhorn St. at 10 a.m. Sunday as we hear the word from Pastor Hau Liu of Hope Midtown Church. iGnite Kidz church for ages 5-12 starts at 10 a.m. also.
subject line: How long, O Lord?Many of us have asked this question during different stages of life where we were faced with hardship or difficulty for extended periods of time. Maybe we wondered if God was even conscious of the suffering that we were going through. Because this is something we all struggle with, it’s important to learn how to deal as we walk in the new family of Jesus. So I hope to see you on Sunday, and please bring a friend. We meet at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn St. iGnite Kidz church for ages 56-12 also starts at 10 a.m.ANNOUNCEMENTSThanksgiving banquet, Thurs.

Hey family, often when we come up against something that makes us feel powerless or out of control, we focus on addressing that feeling rather than the thing that makes us feel that way. We try to kill the pain but not the sickness. What is going to end up supreme when we confront these insurmountable challenges? Is it going to be us and our own efforts, these challenges, or something else? Join us on Sunday to receive hope and guidance. We meet at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St. This Sunday is a great opportunity to bring your kids or grandkids!

Since it's so difficult to get around on Marathon day, we hold our service the night before. Doors open 5:30, service begins at 6.
Each of us has a primary thing that our hopes and dreams are wrapped up in. For some of us, we think that if we win the lottery, that will be the solution to everything. For others, it's if we get into a relationship, that will be the solution to everything. Or if we just had better health. Or if... There are a million "things" it might be.In our series SUPREME, we've been arguing how the greatest thing we can give to our lives is Jesus. Of course, many people would agree. But... what would it really look like to see Christ SUPREME in every area of our lives? That's what we'll talk about this Sunday. Our service is at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St. Kids' Church also starts at 10 for children ages 5-12. --EdwinANNOUNCEMENTS: Sat., Oct. 26--SPECIAL EVENT.

Hey Family, this Sunday will be Part 2 of our new series called SUPREME. What takes the supreme spot in your life? It's whatever motivates us, moves us, causes us to behave the way we do. But when the thing that is supreme in our lives is not good for us, it can cause trouble in all kinds of ways. Join us this Sunday as we continue to discover what the supreme things are in our lives--and shift our focus from the things that we've given ourselves to the Supreme One who created us.

Hey family, this Sunday we're starting a brand-new series called SUPREME. Everyone has something that runs our lives, that motivates us, moves us, guides us, prompts us to behave the way we do. But when the thing that is supreme in our lives is not good for us, it wreaks havoc, destroys relationships, affects our work ethic, and in general makes everything a mess.

Hey family, throughout this series we've learned some truths about work. Some of us view work as gross, a necessary evil to be endured. Others view work as God--the thing that we pour ourselves into and get our identify from. The truth is, work is worship, an opportunity to praise God with the gifts he's given us and thank him for the place he's given us to use them. This week we're going to look at another aspect of work that is actually one of the most important commands that God has ever given. That command is to stop work and take a day of rest, or as the Bible calls it, sabbath. The Sabbath is a fundamental part of our lives. It's a reminder of the work that God has already done and a way to hear him amid the hustle and bustle of life.I hope to see you, and bring a friend! Join us at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St. Kids Church also starts at 10 for kids ages 5-12. --EdwinANNOUNCEMENTS: Friday night in-person Bible study—led by Rob Lambert, live at 360 Schermerhorn. 7 p.m. All are invited!SAVE THE DATE--This year's Day of Delighting will be Saturday afternoon, Oct. 27, 1 p.m. - 5 p.m. Join us to learn about fasting and new ways of worshiping God.
Hey family, last week we started a brand-new series called “Me at Work.” The point of the series to recognize that God has a purpose for whatever work we do in our lives. Over the next few weeks we’ll be talking about some important questions that we need to answer as Christ-followers. Like: What’s the purpose of work? What does work look like when we have bosses who are asking us to compromise our values? How do I work in an environment where I feel mistreated?So I’m hoping to see you for the rest of this series, I think it’s going to be a life-changing experience.

Hey family: Most of our lives are spent doing some kind of work. Some of us do what we love, and some of us do what we need to do to get by. In either circumstance, we have an opportunity to find great meaning in what we do. Whether we are homemakers, construction workers, sales people, or pastors, God has a purpose for us in the work that he gives us to do. Let’s grow together in how we see what we do at work as an extension of who we are in Christ.

Hey family,The last time Jesus spoke to his disciples (in Matthew 28:19-20), he instructed them to go out and share the good news with other people. This is something everyone can do, not just pastors or teachers. People need to hear our testimony of how Christ has changed our lives--it will give them hope for the future. This week, our speaker will be Pastor Doug Geeze from the Venture Church Network. He's going to talk about how every one of us is called to encourage others. Please join us Sunday at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St. --Edwin

Join us this Sunday!Did you know that the Book of Psalms is a collection of hymns, poems, and prayers? Many were used by the Israelites in their worship services. There are psalms expressing praise, sadness, anger, gratitude, and many other emotions. We can use the very same psalms to express our own feelings today. The psalms are the basis for our current sermon series, Summer in the Psalms. The quiet days of summer are a great time to meditate on what God has done in our lives and what he is planning for the future.

love God, but I really messed up this time.Hey family, a healthy congregation learns how to deal with sin and not to suppress or hide it. So the question is, how do you deal with sin in your life if you love God? Because even when that’s the case, the fact is that we will sin, we will fall short, and so there needs to be a healthy, faith-building way to address our shame, our guilt, our sin, after we’ve blown it. The psalm we’ll be studying this week deals with this in the most powerful way. The writer of Psalm 19 asks questions and declares truths because of who God is. This is what we’ll talk about on Sunday as we continue our series, “Summer in the Psalms.” In every Sunday service, God is constructing our souls. Please come this Sunday as we grow together, and bring a friend! 10 a.m. on Sunday, 360 Schermerhorn St. Kids’ Church starts at 10 as well, for ages 5-12.ANNOUNCEMENTS:· Zoom Bible study, Mondays at 6:30: Join us to dig deep into Jesus’ last message to his disciples.

Don’t come to Sunday service!?!Hey Family, as you know, many people have gotten into the habit of thinking that watching a person preach on a screen is sufficient for our spiritual nourishment. Because I love you, I want to say some important things that we all need to hear. I want you to know that growing toward spiritual maturity is NOT about getting on a screen and listening to some genius explain what he learned while reading God’s word. Rather, here at Next Step Community Church, we believe that the Sunday service should be a reflection of the Christian life. Therefore, we’ve created various components that go into that: silence, singing, serving and being served, scripture reading, communion, testifying and confession, prayer and applying God’s word.In every Sunday service, God is constructing our souls. I’m going to be speaking to you about that throughout the summer. Please come this Sunday as we grow together.

Hey Family, we're in the last week of our series about identifying the idols of our hearts and the ways in which we can address them. Tomorrow we're going to talk about how God does his healing work through our repentance and faith.This is an important message, because we all need to be reminded that sometimes when we look in the mirror we don't see who God says we are. We need to be reminded that God is doing a great work in us.

Subject line: Willpower doesn’t workHF, for many of us, wanting to change is not the problem. Whether losing the weight, getting into the right relationship or out of the wrong one, spending too much, or just feeling depressed, change is hard. But it's especially hard when all we have to work with is willpower. In our new series, we're going to be uncovering some hidden motivations in our hearts that prevent us from being the happy, free people that we and God desire us to be.
Why do I bother going to church?Hey family, there’s a common misunderstanding that the reason we go to church is to listen to the guy standing up front. He teaches us God’s word, we sing some songs, and then we’re good to go until next week. But the real reason for coming to church is to spend time with God himself, because he takes that time to construct our souls. In every service, we have times of learning about scripture, times of singing, confession, and testimony. Times of eating with one another, serving and being served.Church attendance leads to a more peaceful life. I want us to get into the habit of experiencing God’s presence in this way. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m. this Sunday at 360 Schermerhorn, and please invite a friend who needs a Christian home.ANNOUNCEMENTS:· Women’s event, Sat. June 22, 1-5 p.m. (includes dinner).

Hey family, there are so many people who say to themselves, “I’ll just skip this one service,” and then they stop attending church for a couple of weeks and even a couple of years. This Sunday is a great opportunity to come back and experience the beauty of being together and growing together with the body of Christ.When we gather, we’re not just attending a service, God is constructing a soul. Because in our Christian life, just like in on Sundays, there are times when we just need to sit in silence and listen. There are times of singing, confession, testimony, learning from scripture. Times of eating with one another, serving and being served. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m. this Sunday at 360 Schermerhorn, and please invite a friend who needs a Christian home.

"I'm exhausted, tired, need a break, stressed out... " These are all words to represent where many of us are even when we're in Christ.

ou don't have to be much older than 4 before you realize that there are some things you wish you had not done and some things that you wish you could do over again. Sometimes in life we do get a do-over and make things right with other people, but other times we find ourselves having to live with choices we wish we hadn't made, damage we wish we hadn't done, and regret we wish we didn't have to feel. How then, should we respond to this?That is what we're going to give ourselves to this Sunday. We'll learn how God plays a part in our healing, even as we bring our regrets to Him and don't neglect our own responsibility, in everything from a misspoken word to having an abortion. I very much hope to see you there. Bring friends and family. Service starts at 10 a.m. and so does iGnite Kidz, our children's church for ages 5-12.

Hey family, There have been so many times when I thought I'd never be able to forgive myself--for things that I said, actions that I took, even thoughts that I had that I wish I could take back. In our last week of THE GRUDGE series we're going to talk about how the hardest person to forgive can be yourself. We're going to talk about what the gospel says about self-forgiveness and how we can apply it to our lives. You don't want to miss this, and maybe there's a friend who needs to hear the message as well.

Hey family, Forgiveness is an important part of any marriage, friendship, or work environment. We all get to a point where we offend someone and need to forgive them—or we are offended by them and need to extend forgiveness. The question is, how do you do it without getting bitter?

Hey family, This Sunday, April 2, is Palm Sunday--the day that commemorates Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a young donkey as hundreds cheer and praise him. Jesus entered the city knowing he would be tried and crucified. Still he welcomed his fate, knowing that he would rise from the grave and save us all from sin. Palm Sunday is the beginning of Holy Week, the remembrance of Jesus' last days. Good Friday will be this coming Friday, the 7th, and Easter is April 9. Please take this opportunity to bring friends and family to praise God for sending His son to earth, and our eternal life in Christ Jesus. --EdwinANNOUNCEMENTSGood Friday service—Friday, April 77 p.m. (doors open 6:30)EASTER SERVICE—Sunday, April 9, 10 a.m.Kids’ Church, 10 a.m. every week for ages 5 – 12.New Zoom Bible study: Walk Thru the Bible: How to Study the Bible for Yourself.

Hey family, Many of the horrors and the sorrows that we’ve experienced in our lives have been self-inflicted wounds. Things that we’ve done because we judged ourselves so harshly, we can only respond with negative actions. Some of the vicious words we say to ourselves we would never say to anyone else—because if we did, we’d have no friends to speak of. “You’re stupid. You’re ugly. You’ll never amount to anything. Why did you think you could do that? You’re so dumb.” All of these phrases have one thing in common, which is that they are narratives and scripts that we’ve developed throughout our lives and use on ourselves in an unconscious way—we don’t even realize we’re doing it. So the question is, how can we be free of self-hatred? That’s what we’re going to spend our time discussing this Sunday. The gospel has much to say about the self-hatred that we’ve struggled with our whole lives. Please bring your family and invite a friend.ANNOUNCEMENTSGood Friday service—Friday, April 77 p.m. (doors open 6:30)EASTER SERVICE—Sunday, April 9, 10 a.m.Kids’ Church, 10 a.m. every week for ages 5 – 12.New Zoom Bible study: Walk Thru the Bible: How to Study the Bible for Yourself.

Hey family, Some of the most crushing insults we ever receive come from parents, teachers, or friends—but there’s nothing more debilitating than the kind of language we use on ourselves. This is self-hatred. A negative script that runs through our mind can make it impossible to move forward in relationships, find a new job, even dream for better things. This week we’re going to be talking about self-hatred, and how the gospel can banish that awful concept from our lives.

Hey family, Last week was a very emotional service. We started to examine times when we’ve been hurt, places where we feel justified to feel real bitterness and rage due to the harsh things that have been done to us – perhaps in the past, maybe even now in the present. As we looked at this, we saw that the religious response of stuffing down our feelings with platitudes that are hollow in the midst of tears is not helpful. Neither is exploding and releasing all our anger on the institutions, individuals, or systems that have harmed us. This week we’re going to take another deep dive into anger and discover how the scriptures can help us not only heal, but even use anger as a tool to grow in peace and trust in the Lord. I hope to see you—and please invite a friend as we continue in our series, MODERN PROBLEMS, ANCIENT SOLUTIONS.

Hey family, What’s the thing that we all go through, never talk about, never want to expose to anyone, and when we see it in others, we wince. It’s shame. Shame is universal. Everybody experiences it, but nobody wants to talk about it, because… it’s so shameful. This week in our new series—Modern Problems, Ancient Solutions: How the Gospels Heal Our Emotions—we're going to take a deep dive on shame. Bring it up, look at it for what it is, and see how the gospels can address and heal some of our darkest secrets, deepest hurts, and even a whole identity that is not in line with the gospel. This is so important, because shame has an effect on our romantic relationships, our interactions with our children, our work, how we view ourselves, the scripts that often go unnoticed and yet are very real in our minds… it literally affects every area of our lives. Invite a friend and join us—you don’t want to miss this series. Your whole view of life depends on it. I hope to see you there.
Hey family, Every one of us knows what it’s like to say a word we wish we hadn’t said, to blow up in a public space, even to get ice-cold with the people that we love. All of us feel the emotions of anxiety, depression, fear, shame, pride, and worry. But many of us were never taught how to deal with them. In this brand-new series, we’re going to dive into the deep pool of asking the question: How can the gospel heal our broken hearts and deal with our problem emotions? This is a series that will change your marriage, your relationships, your family dynamics and even your view of life. I encourage you: Don't just come by yourself--invite a friend to be a part of the healing that is going to take place in this beautiful new year that God has given us. –EdwinANNOUNCEMENTSKids’ Church begins at 10 a.m. for ages 4 – 12.Zoom Bible study: The Ten Commandments.Mondays at 6:30, led by Pastor Gus Rodriguez and Betsy Mitchell.Join anytime!

Hey family,I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.... For some, Christmas is the season of beauty, good will, and joy. But for others of us, it's a reminder of loss and pain and suffering. God is not unfamiliar with this. Christ was born during a time of loss and struggle for the Jewish people. God chose that hour to show that He is in control of every circumstance in life, even our most painful and difficult moments. And not only is God in control, but he is actively for us, and with us, and loving us. Please invite a friend to hear this good news. Service starts at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn St., and Kids' Church will be in session as well.

Hey family, we're up to the fourth week of our series called JESUS. Our Savior invites us on a lifetime walk with him. So far, we've learned what it means to come to him, be with him, and abide in him. This week, we'll talk about loving others the way Jesus does. If that seems impossible, join us this Sunday and bring an open mind. Service begins at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn. Kids' Church starts at 10 as well.

Hey family, we're up to the third week of our series called JESUS. So far, Jesus has invited us to come to him, and to be with him. This week, we'll learn what it means to "abide" in him. Not just to hang around and spend time with him--although that's part of it. To abide in Christ means to keep up a habit of constant close communion with him–to be always leaning on him, resting on him, pouring out our hearts to him, and using him as our fountain of life and strength. Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn, and bring a friend who doesn't know the blessing of having Christ as our Savior. Kids' Church starts at 10 as well.

Hey family, last week we started a new series called JESUS. We're studying just a few short verses from the book of Mark in which Jesus tells us how to be his followers. Last week we learned that when we first go to him, he takes our heavy burdens off our shoulders and puts them on his own. This week he'll invite us to just BE with him. It's the best time you'll ever spend. Bring a friend or loved one to hear this message. Service begins at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn.

Hey family, this Sunday we welcome NSCC's own Rob Lambert as our speaker. Listen along with Eve in the Garden of Eden as the serpent twists her thinking until she makes a fatal mistake. But it wasn't just Eve who was deceived. The father of lies uses those very same methods to warp our thinking today--if we allow it to happen. Join us at 360 Schermerhorn St. at 10 a.m. and bring a friend to hear this very important message. Kids' Church starts at 10 a.m. as well! --Edwin ANNOUNCEMENTS: * A New Life in Christ class, leads to baptism and membership, starts tomorrow 10/2, right after service. * Zoom Bible study, "The Books of 1, 2, & 3 John," starts Monday 10/10 at 6:30.

Hey family, how we imagine God will always determine how we approach him. If we imagine him as angry, we will hide from him. If we imagine him as disappointed, we will hang our heads in shame. In Psalm 18, King David gives us several images for who God is. If we have eyes to see, we will know that God is our rock, refuge, and shield––we can run to him, trust him, and follow him with confidence and joy. Join us at 360 Schermerhorn, 10 a.m. on Sunday, to hear this powerful word. --Edwin SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS * .Sunday Sept. 18th at 12 noon we start the monthly training for our justice and mercy team. Everyone who is or wants to be a part of our community breakfast, food pantry, or baby ministry, come learn what it means to be people of justice. --Pastor Zac * New membership class starts Sept. 25: A New Life in Christ. To be held immediately following service, 6-wk. class leading to baptism and membership. * Women's potluck luncheon Saturday, Sept. 24, 11-2.

Hey family, When God asks a question, he is not asking for information. Join us this Sunday as we take a walk through the Garden of Eden and listen to the first three questions God asks. What should be our response? Children's Church and the teen group will also meet this Sunday. Join us at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn, and bring a friend who might be curious about what God has to say. --Edwin
Hey family! I am so excited about tomorrow, my first Sunday back from being away from preaching over the summer. We are going to be talking about what it means to be hated for Christ's sake--and we'll learn how to walk in his power to do his will for the good of others. I am so looking forward to being with you guys at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St.! Kids' Church will be in full swing as well, so invite friends and family.
Hey family, As summer draws to a close, let us give thanks to God for all his blessings. Whether you got to go to the beach or not, whether you had a nice vacation or not, whether your air conditioner broke down (or you didn't have an air conditioner at all), start every day with an attitude of gratitude for what God has done in your life. Tomorrow we welcome speaker Jim Salladin, who comes to us from Emmanuel Anglican Church. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m. Sunday, 360 Schermerhorn. I also want to invite anyone who is interested in the future of our children's ministry to join me at a meeting following the service. Come at noon to hear how you and your talents can help grow our beautiful children in their knowledge and love for God. No experience necessary--all training will be provided. Thank you! --Edwin
Hey Family, We all get tired. With all that’s happening in our lives, it seems that the energy just gets sapped from us. But Jesus has something to say about that. He talks about how we need rest, and how that rest is found in him. Join us this Sunday and find your rest as Pastor Gus leads us through Matthew 11:28-30. We look forward to seeing you, 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn! --Edwin IMPORTANT: Please plan to stay after service this Sunday for our summer Congregational Meeting. It will start promptly at noon.
Hey family, People are leaving the church and deconstructing their Christian faith in alarming numbers. Many would say they are disillusioned with God because of the hypocrisy of Christians. There has never been a more important time to ask what a truly life-changing encounter with God looks like. This Sunday we will be looking at the story of Jacob wrestling with God, to see what it has to teach on this very urgent question. Service begins at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn St. We look forward to seeing you there! --Edwin
Does it ever seem to you that many people today are not responsible to anybody? That they're just out for themselves, doing their own thing, whatever seems right to them? This Sunday we'll be looking back at a time in Bible history which was very similar. At the time of the Book of Judges, Moses was long dead, and David would not be king for generations to come. Again and again the people disobeyed God and got themselves into trouble. But God was gracious; he sent leaders called judges to guide the people through dangerous times.
This Sunday at 10 a.m., join us at 360 Schermerhorn as visiting pastor John Fils-Aime speaks about the time of the judges. Kids' Church will begin at 10 a.m. as well. --Edwin
Hey family, Life the last few years has been a season of uncertainty, struggle and trouble. It's left many of us wondering, "What am I doing?" And if we are honest, there are days or moments when we have no idea what we are doing or why we are here. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Zac guides us in remembering the mission that God is inviting us into--not just on Sunday but every day. Our service begins at 10 a.m. on Sunday at 360 Schermerhorn.

Have you ever had this happen? We want things... we pursue them... and when we finally get our hands on them, we feel unsatisfied. Every step toward certain things takes us farther away from the Son. Join us this week as we find our way back to Jesus. I look forward to seeing you Sunday, 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn. Kids' Church starts at 10 a.m. also, and the teens will meet this week as well. --Edwin

I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m. Sunday, 360 Schermerhorn St. Kids' Church begins at 10 a.m. as well. --Edwin
Hey Family, This Sunday as we celebrate the fathers in our lives, and remember those we have lost, let us never forget that our heavenly Father is not like any other. He is long-suffering. Some of us have made him wait a very long time. Yet even though he knows every flaw in our minds and hearts, still He waits for us with open arms. Join us this Sunday as we run into His arms and experience His never-ending love. Bring a loved one to this special Sunday service. Pastor Gus will be our speaker this week. Kids’ Church and the youth group will also meet at 10 a.m. We look forward to seeing you! --Edwin
Hey Family, Now that we’ve spent several weeks in our FAMILY MATTERS series talking about what the new family of God looks like, this Sunday we’ll talk about how to express ourselves in uncomfortable, difficult situations. This message is so important, because we will always have difficult people that we have to respond to in our lives, and sometimes we ourselves will be those difficult people. But did you know we can learn to be our best selves in those moments—whether it’s with our children, our parents, spouse, friends, co-workers, or even just a stranger on the street? Come this Sunday to hear what the Bible says about this, and move more towards looking like Jesus in difficult situations. I can’t wait to see you at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn. Children’s Church begins at 10 also, and the youth group will meet this week as well. --Edwin Twitter Facebook Website
Hey Family-- Every now and then--and more often than we would like--we arrive at a fork in the road. These moments in life demand a choice, a decision. Join us this week as we learn biblical principles that help us make decisions in our lives. We look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m. Sunday at 360 Schermerhorn. Children's Church begins at 10 a.m. as well! Twitter Facebook Website
Hey family, everybody knows that when you’re part of a family it’s really important to join together to do whatever it is God wants you to do. For example, when you’re throwing a party, you’re all meeting at someone’s house, people are cooking the food, someone else is doing the dishes, etc. Or think about when you help somebody move. People in the family are packing, and someone is lifting the heavy boxes, and somebody else volunteers to drive the truck. When we’re in a family, we have to agree that part of loving one another is serving one another. This week we get to learn a great deal about how we have been served—and how the fact that we have been served will equip us to serve others. I can’t wait to see you at 10 a.m. Sunday, 360 Schermerhorn. We’ll have a special event following the message, so be sure to come! --Edwin
It’s so easy to get caught up in the noise of day-to-day life. Whether you’re pro-mask or anti-mask, whether you’re heavy into politics or can’t stand to hear another word about it, or even if it's only the sound of traffic that gets you down … this life is filled with noise. How can we just be still with the Lord in such a culture of noise and aggression? This week we’re going to talk about what we’re all looking for, and that’s living a life of peace. I look forward to seeing you Sunday, 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn. Bring a friend who also needs peace! Kids’ church starts at 10 a.m. too, and the teen group will meet also. Important note: This Sunday is the last chance to join our newcomer class—A New Life in Christ. It will take place at noon every Sunday for six weeks. If you have questions about what it means to be a Christian, or are thinking about being baptized and becoming a member of Next Step CC, I encourage you to take this class. --Edwin
Hey Family, Everyone needs a family. Even if we don’t have parents or siblings in our lives any more, we need one that is composed of friends and others who care about us. A church family can be a huge part of someone’s life, and in our series FAMILY MATTERS we are talking about how to become the church family God intends us to be. Join us on Sunday, 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn, and I’ll see you there! Kids’ church starts at 10 a.m. also. Important note: This Sunday we begin our newcomer class—A New Life in Christ.

Hey family, In our society people turn to various sources in search of the truth. Whatever you think of the terms “fake news” and “alternate facts,” they do bring up a good question—where can we find the truth? There’s so much on the line if we get it wrong. If we believe lies, our marriages and relationships will be in trouble. Our children will not benefit from great wisdom. Our whole society will suffer. It’s vital that we have the truth to rely on. These are big questions for us to wrestle with. So this Sunday we’re going to talk about how we can find the truth. You don’t want to miss this. Please invite a friend to 360 Schermerhorn and I’ll see you at 10 a.m. on Sunday. Kids’ church starts at 10 a.m. also. Special Invitation: In honor of the mothers in our lives,
Hey family, The book of Jude is one of the shortest in the Bible, but it packs a powerful message.

Please join us this Sunday at 360 Schermerhorn at 10 a.m., and bring your family! Kids' Church also meets at 10 a.m. --Edwin
Hey family, There’s no way around it. In this world, all of us are going to experience moments when our lives seem to be falling apart. And in those times we wonder, where is God? Does he really love us? When our hearts are breaking, the tears don’t stop coming, the pain is too great, we all can go through a crisis of faith. But what we come to understand is, God uses our suffering for things that are beyond our comprehension in the moment, but are always for our good. Join us at 10 a.m. this Sunday as we continue in our series called “Improving Your Love Life,” and learn how to deal with suffering. It’s a wonderful chance to invite a friend who may be experiencing pain in their life. See you at 360 Schermerhorn—and bring the kids as well. Kids’ church starts at 10 a.m. also. --Edwin

Hey family, Did you know that love is why you were put on this earth? It’s the very reason for our existence—we see it in the scriptures. Since this is true, why not become better at both receiving love from God and others and then overflowing that love to God and others? What would it look like to be a more loving person, living in a more loving family, and having a more loving church? It would transform our lives.

Hey family, While the chorus is true—all you need is love—we have to ask ourselves, where does this love come from? We’re in a new series called “Improving Your Love Life,” and this Sunday we’ll be talking about where our love comes from. The source of our love that not only fills us with love but overflows from us onto everyone around us. Every relationship you have needs to be approached with love. Your relationship with your spouse, friends, kids, families, people you make meetings with, neighbors that you interact with. Every single one of those relation needs love, so we need to know where it comes from and how to let it flow throughout our lives. I look forward to seeing you 10 am Sunday at 360 Schermerhorn St. Kids’ Church also starts at 10. IMPORTANT MASK UPDATE: We will still take temperatures at the door, and anyone who would like to wear a mask is welcome to do so, but we no longer require people to wear a mask during our services.--Edwin

Hey family! What the heck is a Christian gang? That's what Pastor Zac will be talking about tomorrow. A church that wants to behave justly should be on the lookout for people to invite into the family.

When Jesus called his disciples to follow him, they soon experienced change in their lives. They began to understand why God created them. What was important to them before was not so important anymore. They found new life and new hope. The same can happen to every one of us when we follow Christ. What do YOU need to see before that happens? Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn, and bring a friend.

What was important to them before was not so important anymore. They found new life and new hope. The same can happen to every one of us when we follow Christ. What do YOU need to see before that happens? Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn, and bring a friend.
Hey Family, Join us this Sunday as we meet at the intersection of Expectation and Disappointment. We won’t stay there, though! Pastor Gus will lead us through how we can hold on to the truth of what we know and push back the cloud of doubt that tries to keep us from trusting the promises and plan of God. We’re observing all health protocols at 360 Schermerhorn, but if you can’t make our live service, there will be a brief preview online Saturday at 6 p.m. on Zoom, 472 778 7718, password 0825. Kids’ Church will meet as well! --Edwin

Hey Family, In this Advent series we have been looking forward to Christ’s birth through the first-hand experiences of those who were there at the first Christmas. This Sunday we’ll read Luke 1:46-55, some of the most beautiful verses in the Bible. An angel has told Mary that will give birth to the Messiah, the promised savior of the world. Mary is just a teenager at the time, unmarried, in a society that will make her an outcast once they find out she is having a baby. She has no assurances about the future—but still, she rejoices. Come and rejoice with us Sunday at 10 a.m. We’ll celebrate Communion as a church family. Kids’ Church is observing the Advent season in their own service, so bring your children ages 4-11. (And please remember to bring a wrapped gift, if you chose a name from the kids’ Christmas tree last week. The kids’ Christmas party will be Sunday the 19th.) We’re observing health protocols at 360 Schermerhorn, but if you can’t make our live service, there will be a brief preview online Saturday at 6 p.m. on Zoom, 472 778 7718, password 0825. --Edwin

Hey family, We’re celebrating the season of Advent with a series that looks at the first-hand experiences of those who were there at the first Christmas. These people received announcements that were not only life-changing, they were world-changing. No one would ever be the same after them. Last week we heard about the angel’s visit to Mary. This week, we’ll hear what God has to say to Joseph. These messages will help us understand how Christmas can turn our sorrow to joy and transform us not just for a season, but for a lifetime. Please join us, and it’s the perfect time of year to invite a friend. This week is youth service Sunday, so you’ll see our teenagers involved in various aspects of the service. Kids’ Church welcomes children ages 4-11 starting at 10 a.m. We are following all health and safety recommendations, but if you can’t make our in-person gathering, there will be a brief preview online Saturday at 6 p.m. on Zoom, 472 778 7718, password 0825.

Hey family, At the end of just about every Christmas movie, conversation, or memory, people say, “…and that’s what Christmas is all about.” What they mean is, it’s about giving to one another, being more gracious, loving others who don’t deserve it, etc. And while these are all good things, they miss the real point of Christmas. The point is, these are the things that Christ has done. He has thought of the poor and the lonely, he has given grace to the undeserving, he has done everything that we need not only to have relationship with each other, but to have relationship with him, which is the most important thing. That’s is what Christmas is all about. So please, come to our new four-week series leading up to Christmas. This week we’re going to be giving away a tiny gift to help you and your family celebrate what Christmas is all about. We are following all health and safety recommendations, but if you can’t make our in-person gathering, there will be a brief preview online Saturday at 6 p.m. on Zoom, 472 778 7718, password 0825. --Edwin

Hey family, for six weeks we’ve been in a series called Equipped, about putting on the armor of God—meaning the privileges, the benefits, the gifts we have in Christ. We’ve talked about how to arm ourselves with truth and righteousness, how to walk in peace and faith, and how to live according to God’s word. But Paul talks about one more aspect of the armor that is rarely mentioned. Come this Sunday to learn what it is, and invite a friend as we wrap up the whole idea of being Equipped. Kids’ Church is available and the teenagers will be meeting in their youth group as well, so be sure to bring the family along!

Hey family: A well-placed word is sometimes the greatest gift a friend can give during times of difficulty, heartache, or loss. When someone we love tells us exactly what we need to hear in that moment, it feels like a gift—whether it’s hard to hear or whether it’s a comfort. This Sunday we’re going to talk about the Sword of the Spirit, and how God, the Lover of our soul, uses his Word to tell us exactly what we need, exactly when we need it. You don’t want to miss this message. It’s an opportunity to start becoming aware of God personally speaking to each of us. Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. and invite friends and family as we pursue the Lord together. Kids’ Church is available and the teenagers will be meeting in their youth group as well, so be sure to bring them along! We are following all health and safety recommendations, but if you can’t make our in-person gathering, there will be a brief preview online Saturday at 6 p.m. on Zoom, 472 778 7718, password 0825.

Hey family, many times as we go through life, we feel that we have to face an onslaught of temptations, attacks, adversity and difficulties. And we wish we had a defense against what's coming at us. The good news is, we have the Shield of Faith.
God gives us this part of his armor in order to protect us from the attacks of the evil one. I can’t wait to be together with you this Sunday at 10 a.m. when we talk much more about this. Please invite a friend! --Edwin Kids' Church is also live.

Hey family, last Sunday we started a new series called EQUIPPED, which is about taking up arms in the battle of spiritual warfare. Every one of us has a battle that we feel we can’t win. One in which we fail over and over again, one that leaves us feeling shame, and guilt, and regret. And it’s true—we can’t win these battles on our own.
So come on Sunday as we find out who our real enemy is, the source of our strength, and the resources we’ve been given. You don’t want to miss this series, and why not bring a friend?

Hey Family, Jesus gave many incredible sermons to the crowds who followed him. But some of his most powerful conversations weren’t with a crowd, but with just one person. Tomorrow we’ll eavesdrop on two of those conversations. They not only changed the person he was speaking with, but millions of us who heard the message later. Join us as Pastor Gus opens our eyes to these amazing private moments. Invite a friend who may not have heard the power of Jesus’ words to change our lives. Kids are welcome too!

Hey Family: Nobody wants to end up dealing with devastated relationships, unhealthy bodies, and no friends. Or to wake up every morning feeling hopeless, that their kids don’t want to talk to them and that their spouse is a stranger. Instead, everybody wants to turn out to be like their heroes. Many of the decisions that we make now will influence where we’ll end up. This Sunday, join us as we talk about how we can experience the best possible future for our lives and what we can do today to change some of the bad decisions we’ve made in the past. It’s never too late to begin anew. Hope to see you there, and please invite your friends! --Edwin Kids’ Church is live too in their brand-new, kids-only classroom!

Hey family, hope you're looking forward to this July 4th weekend! Please come on Sunday for a message from a dear friend of mine, Pastor Wilson Delgado of New Life Fellowship right here in Brooklyn. His topic? It has to do with the biggest fish story in the Bible. We will also celebrate Communion. Join us at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn, where we continue to observe social distancing and the sanitizing of our space. Kids' Church starts at 10 a.m. too in their own dedicated classroom! --Edwin

Hey family, I’m so excited to come back to preach this Sunday. We’re going to be talking about something that has affected many of us in a negative way. Many of us have had an upbringing that has left us crippled in how we relate to God or relate to others. But God doesn’t leave us in that hurting situation. This Sunday we’re going to talk about how God addresses our early hurts and draws us to himself to a great adventure with him in Christ. We look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m. Sunday at 360 Schermerhorn. Kids’ Church is also live at 360 Schermerhorn on Sundays, in their kids-only, brand-new classroom!

Hey family, this summer Pastor Zac will take a few Sundays to look at some of the most primary sins we fall into. This week we start with pride. We may think that happiness is found at the top... but we're going to learn that true joy is found through a very different kind of journey. Please join us at our live service, 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn! We continue with our efforts to keep our worship space clean and sanitized, and to check temperatures and provide sanitizer and masks to those who need them. Kids’ Church is also live!

Hey family, Have you ever wondered why we do the things we do? This question is often asked, but rarely answered. The reason is that we look at our behaviors, instead of the reason for those behaviors. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Gus leads us in seeking God's answer to that question.

Hey family, throughout this series called Resurrecting Faith, we’ve been talking about how God responds to us when we sin. And not only how he responds, but how his word leads us to repent as well. But this week we’re going to look at how to respond to one another when we’ve blown it—when we’ve failed to live up to even our own standards, let alone God’s. How do we help to restore each other?
I look forward to seeing you at 10 am Sunday at 360 Schermerhorn. We are definitely seeing many people return now that so many have been fully vaccinated!

Hey family, at some point or other all of us have experienced the crippling shame and guilt we feel after knowing what’s best to be done--and ignoring it completely. Some of the greatest scars that I personally have, and that I know others have, are when they knew better and they did wrong anyway. This week we’re going to dive deeper into those moments in life where we’ve done what we knew we shouldn’t have done, and avoided what we knew we could have done. What does it mean to run to the Lord after the guilty verdict is in, and after the shame is heavy? Please join us for our second week of studying Psalm 51—and extend an invitation to your friends. Every one of us has to deal with guilt, shame, and struggles.
I look forward to seeing you at 10 am Sunday at 360 Schermerhorn. PLEASE NOTE—After service we will hold one of our twice-annual congregational meetings. This is a great time to catch up on where we are now as a church and where we’re going.

Hey family, as you know we’ve begun a new series called Resurrecting Faith. We’ve been trying to address what happens in our lives after we’ve messed up. After we’ve gone to the place we said we were never gonna go, after we did the thing we said we would never do, after we hung out with people we said we’d never see again—how do we respond? We talked about what happens on the morning after--what to know about our response to God and what to do. This Sunday we’re going to learn how to talk to God after we’ve blown it. You don’t want to miss it. We’ll see you at our live service at 10 a.m., and please invite a friend. Let them know we are taking temperatures, sanitizing our space, socially distancing and everything else to create a safe, healthy environment. Kids’ Church is open as well! PS, please note for your calendar—We will be having one of our twice-annual congregational meetings after service on Sunday, May 2.

Hey family, last week we talked about how we've all been in that "morning-after" place--the time after we've sinned, when we're feeling that God cannot forgive us. We looked at Micah 7:7-9 and talked about being brokenhearted and yet how we can be bold and come before the Lord. This week we'll talk about practical applications. Until I see you Sunday at 10 a.m., I hope you will read these verses in Micah and ponder them in your heart. Remember, we've hired a professional cleaning firm to sanitize the sanctuary and other spaces before Sunday service, and we continue to take temperatures, require masks, etc., in order to keep everyone healthy. For those who are not ready to return to our live services, there will be a preview of the message on Saturday at 6 pm on the RHOW-Brooklyn Facebook page and also on Zoom, 472 778 7718, password 0825.

Hey family, I’m so grateful that many of you were able to come to our Easter service at 360 Schermerhorn. It was so special to be together with you. From all accounts, many people felt blessed, and we got to see seven people receive the Lord! We’re kicking off a brand-new series called “Resurrecting Faith.” This week we’ll talk about what's the most important thing when it comes to doing that. Many of us who have struggled to get back to where we were and then to move forward have difficulty with one simple concept. And that’s what we’re going to discuss this week. It’s a great time to invite a friend! Remember that our live services are held in a safe, clean space, and we hope to see you Sunday at 10 a.m. Kids’ Church is open as well in their brand-new room!

Hey family, as New York City tries to get back to some semblance of normalcy, with stadiums opening and indoor dining at restaurants, we look forward to this Easter season to be the time where we return to pursuing Christ and growing together in physical community. This has been a very tough season for many of us in isolation, so we invite you to come to our Good Friday and Easter services. We will be socially distanced, wearing masks, and everything sanitized in preparation--but most of all, we'll be getting back to the joy of connecting with one another and worshipping together. What a glorious privilege this is. Please invite a friend. We'll see you at 7 pm Friday for Good Friday service and 10 am Sunday for Easter. Children's church will be offered at both services. A preview of the Easter message can be heard online at 6 pm Saturday on Facebook Live (RHOW Brooklyn page) or via Zoom, 472 778 7718, password 0825. God bless you! --Edwin

Hey family--Good Friday and Easter are the holiest time of the year. Last year we were unable to worship together, but this year we are ready to hold live services. We have hired a professional cleaning company to prepare the children's room, the sanctuary, and everyplace else that we will congregate. (In fact, you can read a brief message about them below.) Our Good Friday service begins at 7 p.m. April 2, and Easter service begins at 10 a.m. Seating in the sanctuary will be organized to allow for safe attendance, and I pray so much that you will join us. --Edwin "IATRIC Professional Cleaning Services’ experience in Critical Care Units more than qualifies us to deep clean and disinfect the Recovery House of Worship - Brooklyn. We use CDC & EPA-approved deep cleaning and disinfection techniques, products, equipment, and Steam Cleaning Technology to control the spread of germs that lead to infections such as Influenza and COVID-19. We take our business seriously and treat your business as if it were our own. You, your staff, and customer's health and safety our #1 priority, which is why we clean for health, safety, environmental quality, and aesthetics."

Hey family, the holiest time of the Christian year is approaching, and we can't wait to see you at our live services on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. In preparation for this experience of Christ's death and resurrection, we have been in a series that calls us to look deeply at ourselves and our relationship to our savior. This week, Pastor Gus will speak about how God gives each one of us the gift of Faith, to be used to come to Christ but also to trust in God the Father. There are many blessings God has for his children, blessings that remain unwrapped because we hold on to other things so tightly. We can't experience what He has for us until we realize that it is better to give than to receive. Generosity is where it all begins. Join us this Sunday for week 5 of our Lent series. Our live service is Sunday at 10 a.m., and we are making sure all guidelines are met for keeping our space clean and healthy. There will be a preview service online Saturday at 6 pm on Facebook Live (RHOW-Brooklyn page) or on Zoom, 472 778 7718, password 0825. RHOW kids ages 5-11 can attend a fun online service of their own at 10:30 am Sunday, Zoom ID 988 1189 3709, pw 7X1kT5. --Edwin Twitter Facebook Website

Hey family, In the midst of all that we are dealing with and struggling through, how we can we help each other stay strong and committed to Jesus? As we continue in our Lenten series leading up to Easter, this week we’ll learn about intercessionary prayer--praying deeply and purposefully on behalf of other people. Join us Saturday or Sunday to find out more about what that means and how it works. (Don't forget, Daylight Savings Time begins Saturday night--set your clocks forward one hour.) Each week we are using a devotional study to help in understanding our topic. Here is a link to the seven-week devotional.

Hey family, In the midst of all that we are dealing with and struggling through, how we can we help each other stay strong and committed to Jesus? As we continue in our Lenten series leading up to Easter, this week we’ll learn about intercessionary prayer--praying deeply and purposefully on behalf of other people. Join us Saturday or Sunday to find out more about what that means and how it works. (Don't forget, Daylight Savings Time begins Saturday night--set your clocks forward one hour.) Each week we are using a devotional study to help in understanding our topic. Here is a link to the seven-week devotional.

Hey family, in this season of Lent we have been asked to look within and surrender our plans, thoughts, and feelings to God. This week we’ll embrace what repentance is—and what it is not. Having a conscious contact with God and living in daily repentance will lead to greater intimacy with Him.

Hey Family, we are starting a 40-day journey leading up to Easter that will bring us into deeper intimacy with God. This is what is known as the season of Lent.

Please share with your friends and family to join us here on FB Live and on Zoom this Saturday, February 13 at 5:55 pm.

Hey family, that's a cute picture on top of this newsletter, isn't it? But did you ever stuff your face with a yummy-looking cake--only to end up totally sick later?

Join us as Pastor Zac continues to walk us through Jesus' Sermon on the Mount--and in fact, we encourage you to read Matthew Chapters 5-7 to receive the full power of that message.

Hey Family, we have never needed hope more than we need it in this season. For many of us, 2020 has been a year of loss, pain, disappointment, and confusion. It's into this world that the infant Christ is born--and he offers himself as a consolation to all our hurts. Come this Sunday as we celebrate Communion as a church family and talk about the baby Jesus, who would give us hope even in a year like 2020. --Edwin

Hey Family: Wow, we were blessed by the number of people who came to us for Thanksgiving yesterday! Our volunteers handed out almost 400 plates of food--turkey, stuffing, pie and much more--to a long, long line of grateful recipients. God was watching over us all. We have been in a series that has reminded us about those times when life happens when the unexpected causes a pause between a promise made and a promise fulfilled. In The Land Between, we have learned that in those times, a response is needed. This week join us as we close out the series and learn the last thing that should influence our response.

Hey Family: When problems come, when things get hard, when we fail or fall, the urge to isolate can be so strong. This, on top of a culture that tells us to always focus on ourselves, can often lead us into more trouble. God’s heart is that we not face life's difficulties alone but instead lean into and pursue community. Join us Sunday as we continue our series The Land Between: Finding God in Difficult Transitions and learn together about the need for and the blessing of community. You can hear Pastor Zac's short version of this message Saturday, Nov. 21, at 6 pm on Facebook Live (RHOW Brooklyn page) or on Zoom, 472 778 7718, pw. 0825. Or, join us in person on Sunday, 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn! We are observing all health measures and would love to see you.

Hey Family, we've been learning how to navigate the place we call The Land Between. That confusing place between where we were and where we hope to be. This Sunday Pastor Gus will talk about how our emotions may cloud our worship, causing us to forget how God provides for us in the land between our old life and our new. Join us this Sunday as we look at an emotion that can paralyze us and how we can overcome it.

Hey Family: In the midst of a divided country, fears about finances and health, trouble in relationships and at work, how can we find peace? As we continue our series The Land Between: Finding Hope in Difficult Transitions, we come back to Numbers 11:1-17. Together, we'll see that if we're going to learn deeply valuable lessons in the here and now, we need to come back to our senses. So this week we'll learn that in trouble and waiting, God often wants to re-orient and refine our hearing.

ey Family, do you ever feel like you're standing in a place like this? No idea where you are, how you got there, which way to go? We all come to this place that we will be referring to as The Land Between. It can happen suddenly or gradually. It can be a place where our faith can thrive--or come to die. Join us as we continue our new series at Recovery House of Worship-Brooklyn, about finding God in difficult transitions.

Hey Family, we're starting a brand-new series this weekend called The Land Between. God has made us a wonderful promise of eternal life. But sometimes it feels like an eternity before we'll ever get there! He's forgiven all our sins--but we still struggle with shame and the issues of our past. He promises us a new, eternal life--but right now our bodies are aging, breaking down, getting sick. Waiting is hard. How do we exist in this place called The Land Between? We hope to see you in person at 360 Schermerhorn on Sunday! It's a safe, sterile environment where we put your health first by taking temperatures, wearing masks, and observing social distancing. For a preview of what I'll speaking about on Sunday, you can join us Saturday, 6 pm on Facebook Live (Edwin Colon's page) or on Zoom, 490-982-431, pw. 994239. --Edwin

Hey Family, I'm so grateful that you've been able to join us for our series on how to deal with recurring sins, the ones that can make our lives a misery year after year, no matter how sorry we are. The point of the series is to get free of those besetting sins once and for all--and as a matter of fact to really make a point, we've changed the name of the series from "Besetting Sins" to "No More BS!" It's been wonderful to see the response of those who are hearing God's word and really asking Him to change the way they fight sin. This week we're going to continue adding to our strategy on how to do this. Up till now we've learned how to avoid, say no, and turn away--but we also need something to say "yes" to! So you want to come and find out what the alternative is to falling into temptation. You can get a preview of the message on Saturday at 6 pm on Facebook Live (Edwin Colon's page) or via Zoom, 490-982-431, password 994239.

Hello family, I love our church. When we get together on Sunday to worship Jesus, the gathering creates a beauty that can't be duplicated or replaced. We've started a brand-new series called "Besetting Sins," talking about those behaviors that make us fall again and again and leave us crying in sadness and frustration. In our series, we've been discussing the strategy for how to defeat these sins. In week 1 we gave a layout of the series, on week 2 we talked about how to AVOID whatever situations tend to lead us toward our sins, and last week we talked about literally saying NO to the actions that harm us. You do not want to miss this week as we talk about a key component to overcome our hangups, our sins, our defects that hold us in a painful place.

Hey Family, we’re in a series called Besetting Sins, addressing those recurring temptations that have overcome us throughout the years. The series is meant to provide us a strategy for combatting that kind of sin. Last week we learned the first step: AVOID the triggers, the stumbling blocks—those things that might seem fine on the surface but always lead us back to our longtime sins. This week we’re going to add step two of our strategy. It involves one of the most powerful words in our vocabulary, even though it’s also one of the smallest.

Hey Family, Take out a dollar bill and look at it. Every day we see signs that say "In God We Trust." But when it comes right down to it, do we really do that when life turns unpredictable? Join us this week as Pastor Gus talks about the life of Biblical persons--some who trusted in God and some who did not.
We look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10 am. Bring a friend who has questions about how God works in our lives.

Do you ever feel like you're wandering around in a fog? That there are too many decisions in your life and you just aren't sure how to make the right ones?

Hey Family, The apostle Paul was the original church planter. With the power given to him by Jesus, he traveled from country to country and brought thousands of people to Christ where no one had ever heard his name. This week we'll learn what Paul's secret was, and how we can grow from being people gathered at a meeting inside a building once a week to a community that cares for each other and reflects love to our neighbors. Join me as Pastor Zac speaks this Sunday at 10 a.m. I look forward to seeing you! --Edwin

Hey Family,
Several years ago, we came up with how we wanted to describe RHOW's mission. This is how we explain it to anyone who asks: We exist to SHARE the good news of Jesus Christ; HELP hurting people at the point of their need, and EQUIP all to reach others for Christ. In these three ways, we show the love of Christ to all who come to our doors, and we also take his love out to the world.
This Sunday we welcome Pastor Tyler Stanton from Trinity Grace Church, who will be speaking to us on evangelism. How often do you SHARE your love of Jesus with another person? I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m.

In these three ways, we show the love of Christ to all who come to our doors, and we also take his love out to the world.
This Sunday we welcome Pastor Tyler Stanton from Trinity Grace Church, who will be speaking to us on evangelism. How often do you SHARE your love of Jesus with another person? I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m.

Hey Family,
Everybody feels ashamed at some point. Maybe we betray a loved one, or let down a friend who badly needs our help. Maybe we tell a major lie to cover up for ourselves, or cheat on a bill.
Shame can be painful and hold us back from fully embracing the love of God and His call on our lives. But Jesus' power is greater than the shame that holds us down. This Sunday we will be talking about God’s power to transform our shame into our glory. Please join me in welcoming our guest speaker, Pastor Drew Jackson of Hope Church. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m.

Every moment we are awake, we are making decisions and exercising our free will to choose. Our choices are influenced by many factors, and as a result of these factors we develop a perspective. What is influencing your perspective?
Join us this Sunday as Pastor Gus leads us in learning about "How do you look at things, and why?" I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m.

Hey Family,
We live in a culture and a society that is divided and suspicious of one another. This does not have to be the case in God's family. Join us this week as we look at the Scriptures to understand how we can become a church community that loves one another in the midst of our differences.
I look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10 a.m.--and bring a friend. This is a message that is very much needed in the world today.

Hey Family, Our series "This Is Us" concludes on Sunday when pastor Zac Martin will talk about the power of prayer. Praying for each other is one of the most powerful things we can do as members of a church body. When another person is in pain, or suffering a loss, or in need of encouragement and restoration, any of us can pray for them. And when we need prayer, we are urged to reach out and ask others to pray for us. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday at 10 a.m. --Edwin

This Sunday Pastor Gus Rodriguez will continue in our series, "This Is Us," by looking at the wisdom contained in the Book of James. Though it was written almost 2,000 years ago, James is just as powerful today. This Sunday we will see how James reveals how we should respond to the pains, loss, and suffering of our lives. Don't miss it as we are instructed and comforted through his words. It's a great way to start out the new ye

Hey Family, Merry Christmas! It's interesting how at this time of the year, when so many things are going on, many people feel a sense of elation and joy and laughter--and others feel a deep sense of loss, an deepening of the heartache and pain that they may have felt all year. I want to invite you to come this Sunday, when we find out that Christmas is the solution for every single stage of life. Christmas is the solution for when we find ourselves in great joy, and Christmas is the solution when we find ourselves in great woe.

Hey Family, As Christmas approaches, what do you look forward to? Celebrating with family? A special gift from a certain someone? Fun and food with friends? This Sunday we'll focus on what Christmas is really all about. More than 2,000 years ago, angels spoke to a group of lonely men and told them what they could look forward to. God chose the lowest of the low to be the first to hear the amazing good news about the birth of Christ. I look forward to sharing more with you this Sunday at 10 a.m. --Edwin

Ho-ho-ho Family!
In this Christmas season of Advent, we get to reflect on the amazing miracle of God coming down to Earth. A God who would not be satisfied just giving us rules and instruction, but would join us in our struggle in order to draw us to himself. The real gift of Christmas is Christ, who we get to see in His most vulnerable state... and recognize that he will stop at nothing to regain relationship with those he loves.
Join us this Sunday as we take a break from our series on James and focus on Christmas for the next three weeks!

Hey Family, We have a lot to be thankful for; gratitude should be the motivating factor for everything we say, do, think, and respond to. It's how we should run our families, interact with people at work, and connect with people on a daily basis. As we continue our series in the book of James, we're going to focus on being grateful, grateful to God for all that he's done and grateful for all that he's going to accomplish in our lives. This is so important because many of us can run into a funk, which can run into a depression, or anxiety, or worry, when we need to allow our circumstances to lead us to gratitude. I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10 am. Invite your friends and family.
Hoping you enjoy Thanksgiving with friends and family, or by simply serving others!

Hey Family, Ever had somebody judge you for something that you didn’t do? Or judge you for something that you DID do? How did it make you feel? In our series This Is Us, we’ve been learning how to live together as a healthy church community so that we can reach out to others and show them God’s love. That’s not going to happen if we’re judging each other. Come this Sunday as we continue in the Book of James and see what the scripture has to say on this subject. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m. --Edwin

Hey Family, In our series This Is Us, we've been talking about how we as a church must get along with each other if we are to make an impact on the world around us. Last week we talked about how quarreling and fighting get us nowhere. This Sunday, we'll talk about how we either commit to God or we don't--and how that commitment affects how we deal with our family, our friends, our dating and marriages, and every other relationship we have. I hope to see you Sunday at 10 a.m. to learn more. --Edwin

Hey Family, We've all gotten into situations where we needed wisdom to figure out what to do. And depending on who you ask, you can get fifteen different pieces of advice for how to move forward... which leaves us no better off than we were before. This week we'll talk about where to get the only real wisdom that can help us, and how our lives will change if we do. I hope you're being blessed by the series "This Is Us," based on the Book of James. Are you still keeping up with the Word Challenge from last Sunday's message? --Edwin

Hey Family, Why did I say that? It just slipped out! I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. They’re all phrases that we use after having said something that we wish we could take back. All of us have had moments where we cut someone down, hurt someone deeply, or say an inappropriate remark. This week going to learn about where these outbursts come from and how to deal with the words that are in our hearts before we deal with the words that come out of our mouths. Come as we continue our series in the Book of James called "This Is Us."

Hey Family, We've been in a series called "This Is Us," which talks about what it's like to be a Christian in today's tough world. This Sunday we're going to learn how each of us can show God's love to others in everyday ways, in our daily lives. God has given each of us some special abilities to carry out his work. Do you use those abilities just for yourself, or do you reach out to others as well? The scripture tells us that faith without works is pretty much meaningless. Come this week and hear more about it! I look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10 a.m. --Edwin

Hey Family,
We are all affected by the injustices that we see on the news, whether it be poor communities being forced out of a neighborhood that they've lived in for many years, insufficient health care for those who do not have the resources, immigrants being taken advantage of in their very difficult situation, and on and on it goes. The church can be the hope for the world and for those who have been oppressed and unjustly treated. Please come and hear what scripture has to say on this matter as we continue the series This Is Us. See you on Sunday at 10 a.m. --Edwin

Hey Family, We've been in a series called "This Is Us," and last week we talked about how we can't be of service to others unless we take out the trash in our own lives. In the picture above I have an old banana peel on my head and a half-eaten sandwich in my pocket. I felt pretty embarrassed--but that's the way we should feel, when we humble ourselves before God. When we confess our sins to him, he grants us forgiveness--and then we need to start making some changes in our lives so that we can serve others in God's name. This week we'll continue with the series. Every once in a while we get into a situation where we wished we had a handbook for how to proceed. Whether it's marriage, raising children, getting through cancer, or even just telling somebody "no," all these things require a level of instruction that sometimes we feel we don't have. This week we're going to spend time looking at where we can get that instruction and what condition our heart needs to be in to receive that instruction. I look forward to seeing you and hope to help us grow in ways that benefit one another and bless the world. Bring a friend! --Edwin

Hey Family, Every one of us has experience with people who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk. It’s always frustrating to deal with that kind of person because we find them hypocritical, difficult to deal with, and just not people we want to be around. But the Bible says we are to be people who don’t just hear the word, but do the word. What does that look like in the 21st century, to do what the Bible says? Come this Sunday as we continue our new series, This Is Us, by talking about how the Bible influences and affects every area of our lives for the better. Invite a friend! --Edwin

Everywhere we go, we look for people, for communities, that can help us through difficult times. The church is that community, where we can unite with others and recognize that we are not made to be solo in our lives, not meant to make big decisions or live life in an isolated way, but rather together. So we going to spend the next few weeks in a brand-new series called This is Us. We’re going to talk about the stuff of life, and how the church is uniquely qualified to help us get through it. And also, how we can become the church that we ourselves would love to be a part of. I’m excited about starting the first new series in quite some time and I can’t wait to see you Sunday at 10 a.m., to see what God has to say to the church through his word. --Edwin

Is there anything in this world that will make us truly happy? Come this Sunday as we start a brand-new series called "Searching." I look forward to seeing you at 10 A.M.

Hey Family, Throughout the Bible, God speaks frequently about the poor. He does not want those suffering from poverty to be ignored, despised, or forgotten. In this week's message, Begging for Change, Pastor Pedro Rodriguez will look at the ways God directs us to deal with this vulnerable population. There are things that all of us can do. I look forward to seeing you on Sunday at 10 a.m

Hey Family, Anxiety is something that can grab hold of every one of us. Whether we’re concerned about what school we’re going to get into, the state of our marriage, our bodies and what the doctors tell us, anxiety is something that becomes not only part of our lives as human beings, but can be magnified because we live in New York. This week we’re going to pause and look at anxiety from the perspective of the gospel. We will ask God how he would lead us even through difficult, scary moments, out of anxiety and into His arms. I look forward to seeing all of you Sunday at 10 a.m. I think this message can affect us for a long time to come, especially as we continue to grow in Christ. SPECIAL NOTE: Due to road construction, the church building will be closed Monday, June 24. There will be no meetings and no community breakfast. We are sorry for the inconvenience! --Edwin For your calendar: Thursday, June 27, 6 p.m.--PRAYER SERVICE. All are invited!

Hey Family, Many of us have known what it is to take a bad idea too far. For some of us it’s an alcohol addiction, for others it’s going after sex . . . something that we knew wasn’t right, but we did it anyway and then it had its way with our lives, hurting the people around us, leaving us in a place where we were broken and troubled. How does Jesus deal with people who have turned their back on his teaching to such a degree that they are consumed by the very thing they thought would liberate them? Does he confront us by saying “I told you so!” or, “Ha, now you’re trapped in your sin.” Or does he do something that’s so beyond our wildest imagination that it gives us cause to celebrate and worship? Come this Sunday at 10 a.m. as we continue our series JESUS WITH and talk about how Jesus deals with us when we‘ve gone too far. --Edwin

We feel so deeply guilty about what we’ve done that when we see people looking at us, all we can think of is that they know how broken and sinful we are. As a result, we might take on an hard-hearted attitude—that we don’t care what people think, or we don’t even care what God thinks. Or . . . we can run to Christ, and find out that guilt doesn’t create our identity. We can be forgiven and find our identity in something other than the acts we do. This is an important message for all of us—because once in a while we will all be in a position where we act in a way that is beneath our own standards, let alone God’s standards. Come this week to learn how God deals with the guilty, and how to get relief from our shame. I look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10 a.m. --Edwin

We finished our series called When God Shows Up, which I hope illustrated how God makes himself known in the midst of all our circumstances. This Sunday we begin a followup series called JESUS WITH..., in which we'll investigate how Jesus confronts people from different backgrounds in different ways. And that's good news for us, because it gives us the assurance that no matter where we've come from or what position we are in today, Jesus meets us where we are and works on us in the way that will affect us the most strongly. Whether we're one of the powerful, one of the political, or one of the powerless, He is pursuing each one of us with great love and intensity.

Hey Family, Did you know that 1 in 5 New Yorkers struggles with mental illness each year? Not only that, many don't have hope or help in those struggles. Mental illness--including depression and other conditions--isn't just a modern problem. This Sunday we'll learn about a particular person in the Bible who suffered from mental illness, and whose life was completely changed by meeting Jesus.
Our good friend Pastor Zac Martin will be our guest speaker. Come hear about how we as a church can provide help for troubled souls. I very much look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10 a.m.

What is the appropriate response when God shows up in powerful ways? We've been in a series called WHEN GOD SHOWS UP. In the last two weeks we've talked about what God does in times when we experience crisis or doubts. But this week we're going to speak about what our response should be. This is so important, because when we have an encounter with God--in scripture, in community, in prayer--He doesn't show up just to do carnival tricks. God's showing up demands a response.

Hey Family, Last week we started a brand-new series called WHEN GOD SHOWS UP. As we continue this Sunday, what I hope you will come to understand is that when we’ve exhausted all of our favors, used up all of our resources, taken all of our time and are at the end of our rope . . . that is the time that God will show up. Last week we talked about how He shows up in the midst of our doubts. This week, it’s how He shows up in moments of great crisis. We’ll be going to the Old Testament and noticing moments where God supernaturally shows up to move in the lives of his people. This is the story of the Christian—that God came down from heaven to earth to act on our behalf. And he didn’t wait until Jesus was born. God has been acting on our behalf for all of history. I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10—AND BRING YOUR MOTHER! In fact, invite any mother you know! We will be celebrating Mother’s Day with a roast beef banquet and photo session! --Edwin

Hey Family, In Bible times, a man became known as a prophet if what he proclaimed came to pass. The prophets who spoke for God told the people the truth they needed to hear, even if it hurt. In this Sunday's message, we'll learn about Jesus as Prophet. Our guest pastor will be David Louw, who has been very popular in his previous visits to RHOW. Please join us as we welcome him to continue our series, JESUS UNCOVERED. We will also celebrate Communion together as a church family. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m. this Sunday.

I'm so grateful for all the good feedback I've gotten on our current series, JESUS UNCOVERED. It's inspiring to know that people are seeing Jesus in a bigger and more beautiful light, and I've heard how some of you are learning to rejoice at his work in your life. We still have a lot to discuss... the fact is, a series like this could go on for infinity! Whenever we study about who Jesus is, it's going to affect how we relate to our loved ones, handle our finances, deal with our work lives and much more. Don't miss the next message coming up this Sunday. I hope to see you there at 10 a.m.!

Many times when our lives feel out of control, or pain seems to overwhelm us, or stress just won't let up, one of the biggest helps we can get is perspective. Having perspective helps us not to collapse under our feelings, but instead see what is real. And nothing gives us a better perspective on our lives than how we see Jesus. If we believe Jesus doesn't care, or is too busy, or doesn't have the power to help us, then we're on our own, and our stress, pain, and despair are justified. But Jesus is much more than that. So far in our series called JESUS UNCOVERED, we've looked at him as king and as servant. This week we look at him as God. This perspective will help us survive even the most difficult times of life. Perhaps you have a friend who's going through a struggle. This Sunday would be a great chance to introduce him or her to Christ. I look forward to seeing you at 10 am.

Hey Family, Last week we started a new series for the Lenten season called Jesus Uncovered. The purpose of the series is for us to grow in understanding of who Jesus is and how he reigns and rules in our lives. We hope that Jesus is on the throne of your heart. This week we learn about Jesus as servant. Jesus lowered himself to washing people's feet, lowered himself to become a servant of those he came to save, lowered himself even to dying a very public death on the cross between two thieves. Understanding Jesus as servant is infinitely important, because that helps us see that he is not only king but servant. And that will have a powerful impact on our lives. Please join us at 10 a.m. this Sunday and bring a friend! --Edwin

Hey Family, Have you ever had a relationship with someone for a long time and then found out some new detail about him or her that really opened your eyes? That’s the way I feel about Jesus. The more I get to know him, the more I fall in love with him, and the more that relationship changes my life. In our new series leading up to Easter, JESUS UNCOVERED, we’re going to take a new and different look at Jesus. You will be surprised and marvel at what we discover about his life. I look forward to seeing you on Sunday at 10 a.m.! Please bring a friend or two. --Edwin

Hey Family, In our series, Real Marriage, we have learned that marriage is work. When two sinners say "I do," reality sets in. The origin of marriage is God, so it is Him we look to in order to have a real marriage. Join us this Sunday at 10 a.m. when Pastor Gus closes out the series with a talk on intimacy in marriage. This could be a great time to invite some friends who may be struggling in their own married life. --Edwin

Hey Family, We've been in a series on marriage for the last few weeks and I hope that everyone has been blessed by what we've been learning. This Sunday Pastor Pedro will bring a message called "Taking out the trash." When we have arguments within our friendships, work environments, or even marriages, we can be pushed to the edge of real combativeness. All too often we behave with hard-heartedness and only care about having our own way. This only creates greater chasms and bitterness. This week we're going to learn how to address the sins of our past and also of our present--and learn how to bring them to Jesus. When we repent of our behavior and receive his forgiveness, we are set on a path of change for the future. As always, please invite a friend or loved one. I look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10 a.m. --Edwin

Hey Family, We've been in a series called Real Marriage, in which we've been discussing not only what a marriage is but what each member's role is within the context of that marriage. Last week we talked about the men and how there are many social and cultural lessons that we've accepted as true but which prevent men from being what God has called them to be in their marriage, their parenting, and in society. Now we turn our sights on the women. We start looking at very similar misconceptions, like "Women should be barefoot and pregnant." Lies like these have degraded women and have hurt men as well. Come as we speak to the women and find out what the wife's role in marriage is according to the scriptures. Invite a friend to be there! See you at at 10 a.m. this Sunday. --Edwin

Marriage is a covenant, not a contract. Every covenant—including the new covenant of salvation—has a head, who is ultimately responsible for the covenant. The husband is the covenant head of a marriage; he is responsible for his marriage, his wife, and his kids. Similarly, Christ took that which was not his fault—our sin—and he made it his responsibility on the cross. He is our covenant head. I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10 a.m. as our series on marriage continues. --Edwin

Hey Family, We're in a series called "Real Marriage" that contains a message for everyone, whether you're married or not. We hope you grew from hearing last Sunday's message. This week Pastor Gus will speak on "Friends with Benefits." Abraham was considered a friend of God. Friendship matters to God and was established by God. Marriage is a type of friendship--come and learn what scripture has to say about "friends with benefits." --Edwin

Hey Family, If you're reading this, chances are you have been married, are married, or want to be married. Marriage affects over 90% of Americans. Since it's such a common experience, and since a lot of our joy and our sorrow will flow from our marriages, it's a good idea to know what God has to say on the subject. Come and join us in this new series, Real Marriage, and let's learn together about what it takes to have a joy-filled marriage that lasts and can sustain during the difficult times. If you're not married, this series is for you, because chances are you're going to get married, and it will give you some resources to pull from. If you were married, this series is for you, because you might get married again, and you want to avoid the mistakes you may have made the first time. In other words, this series is for EVERYONE! I look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10 a.m.

Hey Family, You're invited this Sunday to hear a special message from Dr. Craig Fee on the topic of obedience to God. Sometimes we know full well what God wants us to do, or how He wants us to behave. But instead of following instructions, we go our own way and stumble into trouble. It doesn't have to be like that. Dr. Fee is a gifted professor at Nyack College and someone you will want to meet! I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m. this Sunday. --Edwin

Hey Family, Every year begins with people making resolutions about what they want to accomplish. What if we made a commitment to what we want to become? With our limited time, energy, and resources, we should focus on what matters most. Join us this week as Pastor Gus Rodriguez invites us to look at "who goals" rather than "what goals." I look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10 a.m. --Edwin

Hey Family, 2018 has been a great year for the Recovery House of Worship. We've seen people come to Christ and grow in Christ. We've started to prepare a deacon board of men and women, young and old, black, white, and Latino. We've been able to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, house the homeless, and provide service to the addict. In 2019 we're going to continue to do this. I hope to see you here this Sunday as we talk about the spirit in which we do this kind of service, surrender unto Christ, and love one another that we're called to do in the scriptures. I can't wait to see you at 10 a.m. this Sunday.

Hey Family, This Christmas season we’ve been looking at some of the most powerful women that the world has ever known--women who were filled with flaws and yet changed the course of history. We’re going to continue in this series, The Real Women of Christmas, and this week we look at Bathsheba. God used her tragedy not to identify her but to give her a different identity. That new identity is going to outlast time. Invite a friend! And don’t forget that this Sunday we will be making our special 53rd offering to Eradicate Bible Poverty. Every cent you offer to God will go toward translating the scriptures into the six minority languages of China. --Edwin

For many, Christmas is a time of great joy and celebration, a time for buying gifts and receiving people into your home. But if we're honest, we know that Christmas isn't always joyful for some. Come this Sunday as we continue in our series called The Real Women of Christmas and look at the life of a woman named Ruth. We'll discover how God brings joy into Christmas, and how He is his very own gift.

Our faith produces action. It moves us from place to place, as we trust in the one in whom we place our faith. God promises are "yes" and "amen," and His love remains unconditional--but his blessings are conditional. Jesus says, abide in me and you will produce much fruit. Join us this week as we see what will be revealed next.

Hey Family, There's a monster lurking in the shadows who only gets bigger and scarier as we do nothing about it. The name of the monster is PROCRASTINATION, and the results can be catastrophic for your education, your marriage, keeping promises, or your work. The ancients were wise to list procrastination (sloth) as one of the deadly sins, because it really does kill our joy. Join us this Sunday at 10 a.m. as we finish up our series on the seven deadly sins. I look forward to seeing you! Edwin

Hey Family, As a pastor I’ve heard more confessions than the Brooklyn DA. Whenever anyone is confessing something, they’re always sharing their greatest shame, their darkest secret, their deepest hurt. I can’t tell you how many times this has happened, but inevitably the secret, the hurt, the shame . . . has to do with sex. This week we’re going to be diving into a topic that surrounds us every day. What with hookups, friends with benefits, and casual dating apps, this subject is becoming more and more prevalent in our hearts, in our lives, and in society. This week we will deal with the issue of lust. Lust can be considered much more broadly than just having to do with sex, and we’ll be discussing all the things that we can lust after. We will approach this very sensitive subject not by looking at our feelings or our culture, but at God’s word. I look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10 a.m. as we continue with our series KILL JOYS, about the seven deadly sins.

Hey Family,
I used to love a song called “Constant Craving” by k.d. lang. But now I listen to it with a different ear. It could be the theme song of many of our lives. There's a craving that we have, a yearning for the thing that makes us feel good. Many times it can be food, other times it can be alcohol, but whatever craving it is, it leads us to the very sin that we're going to talk about this week. How do we shake the bad habits, break the strongholds of bondage that keep us in sin, and find joy in Christ, when all our hearts long for is the constant craving?
Come this Sunday as we continue our series KILL JOYS, about the seven deadly sins. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m.

It’s the reason you got divorced, it’s why you can’t go to your friend and reconcile your relationship, it’s why you and your kid (or maybe your mom) haven’t talked in years. We’ve got to learn how to combat and address this deadly sin called pride. In the culture that we live in, we often hear that you have to put yourself first and work hard to get rid of low self-esteem. But the Bible has a very different view of pride. Every sin that you have ever or will ever commit is birthed out of a place of pride. And if that’s true, it makes sense to find out what it is and how we can move away from this most deadly sin. Come this Sunday as we continue in our series KILL JOYS, which looks at the seven deadly sins that rob of us joy. Invite someone you care about and I’ll see you at 10 a.m.

Every sin that you have ever or will ever commit is birthed out of a place of pride. And if that’s true, it makes sense to find out what it is and how we can move away from this most deadly sin. Come this Sunday as we continue in our series KILL JOYS, which looks at the seven deadly sins that rob of us joy. Invite someone you care about and I’ll see you at 10 a.m.
Hey Family, What’s wrong with our marriages? What’s wrong with our church? What’s wrong with our society? What’s wrong with the politicians? These questions come up for every one of us when we reflect on the brokenness not only in our lives but the brokenness we see around us. The answer to these very profound questions is equally profound but very short. The answer is: SIN. Sin is what’s wrong with us. Sin is what’s wrong with our marriages. Sin is what’s wrong with our church, our society, our politicians. And sin is what’s wrong with the world. In this new series, Kill Joy, we’re going to turn to the gospel to investigate how sin can ruin our lives and see what the remedy could be. The answer isn’t just stop doing it. The answer is deeper and much more profound. If you’re having a tough time right now, I hope to see you Sunday. Invite a friend. --Edwin

As our "Hard Sayings of Jesus" series draws to a close, come on Sunday to learn what Jesus meant when he said it was harder for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich person to get into Heaven. Think you're not rich? Wrong.

Hey Family, Last week we were reminded of what the gospel says about judging other people, and how important it is to address the condition and issues of our own hearts. If we accept the forgiveness and healing that Jesus holds out to us, those same feelings should overflow from us onto those we tend to be critical about. This Sunday as we continue with our summer series, "Hard Sayings of Jesus," we get to one of the most abrasive statements our 21st-century ears can hear: "Repent or perish." These words conjure up images of subway preachers who are yelling at us to turn or burn. But come this Sunday to find out how this is actually one of the most loving phrases that Jesus ever used, and how full of mercy it is but how abused the phrase has become. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m. --Edwin

Hey Family,
In every society there's a concept that everybody agrees is negative, that offends everyone who hears it. In our culture, it's the concept that other people have the right to judge us. The idea that someone else would pronounce moral rightness or wrongness on anything that we're doing is abhorrent to us. That's where the saying "Don't judge me" started.
This Sunday, as we continue with our series HARD SAYINGS OF JESUS, we'll find out what the Bible says on judging. I think you'll be surprised at how much more piercing and profound Jesus's statement about judging is than what we think about in our society. I hope to see you Sunday at 10 a.m., and bring a friend.

Hey Family,
I hope that you are being blessed by our current sermon series, HARD SAYINGS OF JESUS. This Sunday we'll be talking about something that every Christian should know. What is the one sin that will not be forgiven? Jesus tells us very plainly.
As with all these hard sayings of Jesus, when we understand them, we realize that Jesus is telling us these things out of his great love. He came to earth to seek and save the lost. So come this Sunday and learn what this very startling passage means. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m.

Hey Family,
This Sunday we continue with our series called Hard Sayings of Jesus. Some of the things Jesus tells us are genuinely difficult to understand, and that's why they qualify as "hard sayings." Other times his words are perfectly clear--but we find them difficult to apply to our lives. This week we'll spend time talking about one of the most controversial things that Jesus ever said [and that's saying something!!!]. Basically, he said "Hate your parents."
What on earth does Jesus mean by this? Come this Sunday to find out. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m.

Hey Family, Join us this week as Pastor Gus Rodriguez opens up God's word to help us understand why temptation comes to us. Clearly we are not exempt from facing temptation--Jesus himself was led into the wilderness to be tempted. It happens to us all. What does it reveal? What can we learn from such a situation?
From Genesis to Revelation, God has been actively involved in providing for His creation. In a moment of temptation, we can trust Him to provide the help we need. Come on Sunday at 10 a.m. to gain wisdom on this very important topic, and bring a friend.

Hey Family,
Did you ever read something that Jesus said and say to yourself, "Ow, Jesus, that's harsh!" Sometimes he seems to be asking more than we can possibly deliver. Doesn't he want us to follow him? Then why does it seem so difficult sometimes?
Answering that question will be the point of the new series called HARD SAYINGS OF JESUS, which starts this Sunday at 10 a.m. We're going to look at some things that Jesus said and really get into the meaning of them. Jesus came to seek and save the lost, and every word he spoke is for our benefit. So let's trust him and learn what he has to say about our lives. Bring a friend!

Hey Family, This week's message will be a powerful one. Have you ever done something that left you feeling absolutely ashamed? Being a Christian doesn't mean we won't have those feelings once in a while--but how do we deal with them in a new way? That's what the speaker this Sunday, Pastor Will McGee of Crossroads Church here in Brooklyn, will be talking about. How can we, as Christians, overcome the shame of our past and move forward into spiritual maturity?

There are moments when we pray for faith, not realizing that it is something we already possess. The real question is not whether we have faith, but what does faith look like? And who is my faith in?
Join us this Sunday as Pastor Gus leads us in learning that faith is a journey and not a station. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m.

Hey Family, I hope you've been blessed by our current series, Beginnings. This week we'll be looking at the basics of walking in Christ.

Whether you're new to a relationship with Christ or you've been growing in that relationship for a long time, you will find something new to think about this Sunday. I look forward to seeing you here at 10 a.m. Also, ALL ARE INVITED to a special event this Saturday. If you are interested in reaching out to our local community during Jesus Week, June 2-9, come this Saturday from 9:30 A.M. - 12:30 P.M. to learn how you can join in.

Hey Family, It was wonderful to see so many people at last week's Easter service. I hope that this will be a time of new spiritual growth for many of you. This week we continue with our new sermon series, BEGINNINGS. Last week we learned that we all have to start somewhere in our Christian walk.God meets us right where we are and, when we accept him as savior, we begin to walk alongside him. This week, we hear about a new beginning for a man people would never expect Jesus to even speak to, much less call as his disciple. It's just one example of how Jesus meets us where we are and takes us to places we could never even dream. I hope to see you Sunday at 10 a.m. Bring a family member or friend who is hoping to make a new beginning.

Hey Family,
Throughout our lives there many times when we can become completely distracted and fret over an issue rather than call upon our Heavenly Father and ask for his guidance in what we should do. This can cause us a great deal of strain. Worrying can affect our marriages, the way we parent our children, the choices we make in our working lives and in all our relationships.
This Sunday is Palm Sunday, and as we continue our series ENCOUNTERS, we'll learn about how God is there to deal with not only the big problems we all face but the small details as well--and what life would look like if we went to God in prayer rather than live a life of worry.
I look forward to seeing you at our 10 a.m. service! Please invite a friend or loved one to share this special time of year in the church calendar.

Hey Family,
We've been in a series called Encounters which looks at the New Testament and how people who encounter Jesus are never the same after that experience. Encounters with Jesus are meant to transform us and change us--and he does that very thing whenever he encounters sin in our lives. So how does it actually work? What does Jesus do to change us from people who are harming ourselves and hurting others into people who reflect the love of Christ?
Come on Sunday at 10 a.m. and find out! Your kids will be glad you did. Your friends will be glad you did. Your spouse will be glad you did and your work environment will be glad you did, because everyone needs to grow and change at some point. Hope to see you there--and it's a great opportunity to invite a friend.

Hey Family,
Every one of us has a moment in life where if we could go back in time, we would change what happened because there's so much pain attached to that mistake, that error in judgment. These moments can have a crippling effect on our lives. This week when we gather together we'll learn how our encounters with Jesus address even the darkest shame of our lives, enabling us to live free and with head held high.
A lot of people think church is where we feel shame, or we are put to shame. The fact is, Jesus is a shame-taker. This is an incredible opportunity to bring a friend to the service and allow them to experience the transforming love of Jesus. I look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10 a.m.

This Sunday at 10 a.m. we will share Communion together as a church family and continue with our series called Encounters, which leads up to Easter. But I'm pleased to announce that we also have a unique opportunity to bring hope to so many people.
After service, those who would like to share their testimonies about recovery will be videotaped. Their messages will be used to help people whose family members are struggling with addiction. Please bring your stories of hope and encouragement, and and we look forward to hearing them!

Hey Family,
I am so excited to be speaking this Sunday for the first time this year! I really think that God is going to move powerfully through this new series called Encounters, which will lead us up to our celebration of Easter.
Major encounters never leave us the same. They always change us in some way. And this is never more true than when we're talking about Jesus. Whenever Jesus encountered the culture around him--the people, the religious leaders, the sinners--they were never the same afterward. They were either worse off after they met him, or better off.
In this new series, Encounters, we will talk about five times in Jesus' ministry where he has major encounters with people. The story of those encounters will not only change us, but also change how we encounter our culture. We will get a deeper, more beautiful sense of who Jesus is, and that will transform us from the inside out. But just as important, it changes us as to how we respond to our own families, neighbors, workplace, communities, and environment. I hope to see you there.

Hey Family,
Can you imagine what it would be like to hear Jesus himself speak from the pulpit? It happened to the people of Jesus' home town in the scripture that we will hear about on Sunday, when Pastor Pedro Rodriguez will bring the message. Jesus stood before the people of Nazareth and told them about the good news--good news for the poor, freedom for prisoners, recovery of sight for the blind, and freedom for those crushed by oppression. We can still hear and believe that message today, because it proceeds straight from the mouth of God. Don't miss it.
I hope to see you on Sunday at 10 a.m. Bring a friend who needs to hear the good news!

Hey Family,
How often do you invite a friend to church? When someone you know is in pain or is straying in dangerous ways, you may not know how to preach the gospel. You may not have the words that will lift the shadows from their heart. But you can always invite them to come with you to a Sunday service or prayer service. That's how we can do our part. The rest is up to God.
I hope to see you this Sunday at 10 a.m. when Pastor Ray delves into this. If you want to look ahead of time at the scripture he'll be using, turn to Luke 5, 17-26.

A new life in Christ Jesus leads to a new way of living for us. Have you thought recently about what it means to be a born-again Christian? We often hear that term, but we may not know what it means. Jesus spells it out in the book of John, and this Sunday you are invited to hear Pastor Gus speak on the words of Christ regarding this topic. Use this opportunity to invite someone who has been asking what it means to be a Christian.

I hope you'll make a special effort to join us this Sunday to hear guest speaker Pastor David Louw of Trinity Grace Church. He'll be talking about the new family we all join when we accept Christ as our Savior. Being part of that new family means we experience all kinds of blessings that we never had before. Service starts at 10 a.m.--hope to see you there!

If you attended our 10 p.m. New Year's Eve service, you heard Pastor Raymond Ramos give a passionate talk on Isaiah chapter 40. This Sunday he will continue that message. What happens when we trust in the Lord, even when it seems that he does not see our pain and our troubles? What happens when we come to understand who God truly is, and what he is able to do in our lives?
You will be blessed by this message on Sunday. I hope to see you at 10 a.m., and this would be a perfect time to bring a friend who might be struggling with something in their lives.

When you look around at the world we live in and the problems that so many people suffer from--poverty, homelessness, no way to speak up for themselves--what do you think? Do you have sympathy for those in need or do you turn aside and hope not to see anything too disturbing?
God tells us in His word that we are to have a heart for the needy. What breaks God's heart should break ours as well. This week Pastor Pedro Rodriguez will speak on some verses from the book of Isaiah that will inspire and move you. I look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10 a.m. Bring a friend!

Hey Family,
Every first Sunday of the month we take communion together as a church family. Have you ever wanted to get deeper into your understanding of that sacrament? Communion with Christ is being in union with Christ. During the Last Supper, Jesus established a new covenant in his body and blood. Faith in Christ leads us to commune with him. Come join us this Sunday at 10 a.m. as we learn of the significance of communion in the believer's walk with Jesus.
For your calendar: Every Thursday during January: Prayer service, 6 p.m. (doors open at 5) Saturday, Jan. 6--Leadership development, 10 a.m.-noon. OPEN TO ALL!

Hey Family,
The last week of an old year, and the beginning of a new year, are wonderful times for reflection. We get to think deeply about God's grace and mercy in our lives, and about where the Spirit has been leading us. This Sunday we'll talk about what new things look like, and how to start a new year not through following short-lived resolutions, but by being led by the Holy Spirit.
I look forward to seeing all of you at one or both of our Sunday services! We'll have our usual morning service at 10 a.m., and then from 10 p.m. to midnight we will celebrate New Year's Eve and welcome in 2018 as a church family. Invite a bunch of people and I'll see you there!

Hey Family,
This Sunday we're looking forward to a very special day as we come together with Resurrection Church for a joint service. The Bible speaks about how when Christians are unified, we demonstrate the beauty of Christ. So coming together is a very special thing to do, and this week we get an incredible opportunity to see how two different churches from two different backgrounds can really learn to enjoy unity in Christ.
The message will continue our series called WAITING. We'll look to the scriptures that speak about how to handle those moments of life that are very difficult, when the stresses and the hurts keep mounting up. What do we do? I hope to see you there, and please invite a friend--it will be a great service.

Hey Family,
Last week we started a new season that looks forward to Christ's birth, and we learned that a time of waiting can be a great opportunity to help us recognize God's power in our lives. In our second week of the series, we're going to talk about moments of difficulty and great pain, while we're waiting and we don't know the outcome of our present circumstances. In those circumstances, one of the most powerful things that could happen, the most wonderful gifts we could be given, the most beautiful experiences we could have, involves comforting words. Comforting words have real power when we recognize the true nature of the person who speaks them. A child scrapes his knee and hears his mother give him comforting words, and the reason that it means something is because he knows her love is true. A daughter walking down a dark alley holds the hand of her father and is comforted when he whispers to her, "Everything will be okay," because she knows his words are strong. Comforting words are what we need in dark times. And comforting words are what God gives. God's words are comforting because he is able to deliver that which he says.
Come this Sunday and experience this comfort that can only come from God--because he's the only one who can make it so. Bring a friend who needs the comfort only He can provide. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m.

Hey Family,
Waiting is probably the most difficult thing for us to do when it comes to important things in our lives. Whether we're waiting for the verdict of a judge, waiting for our beloved to return after a long separation, waiting for the deal to close, or the pain to stop, or the next opportunity to begin, waiting has always been difficult.
That's what the Advent season is all about. The very word Advent means "coming." It was the expectant hope of God's people that the one who would save us would come, and that he would change everything. As we start this new series, we'll be building anticipation towards Christmas. Because it's then that the One we've been waiting for arrives, to save us from our waiting.

Hey Family,
Our Thanksgiving Day banquet here at RHOW-Brooklyn was a blessing to many, many people! Thank you very much to all of you who volunteered yesterday. This Sunday we welcome John Fils-Aime, one of our favorite guest pastors, who will be speaking from the book of Joshua. It's also Celebration Sunday, when we recognize birthdays and anniversaries. Always a special day!

Hey Family,
This week we finish THE WAR, our series about spiritual warfare. We learned about preparing ourselves with the armor of God--the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the shield of faith, the belt of truth, the sword of the spirit, and feet prepared with the gospel of peace.
But when it comes right down to it, how does one put on the armor of God every day? Because every day we face battles, situations, circumstances that challenge us. We're going to find out how to put it all together, and the way we do that is through prayer. I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10 a.m.

Hey Family, There’s only so much you can take before you snap. Shields are great, breastplates protect, helmets are helpful, but there’s a certain point where you need to be able to strike back. In our series called THE WAR, we’ve been looking at the spiritual armor that God gives us in order to combat any difficult time in our lives. But how, after defending ourselves, do we move forward? The answer is by using the Sword of the Spirit. The Sword of the Spirit is the solution to combating all the noise in our head and the noise that surrounds us in the world . It's the solution to be able to think clearly in difficult times. The Sword of the Spirit is our way of getting through moments that make you feel like you can’t get through. I really look forward to seeing you on Sunday and talking more about this.

Hey Family,
How can I get over the depression, how can I cope with my ailments, how can I endure a difficult marriage? They’re all dealt with by picking up the shield of faith. In fact, every struggle, heartache, difficulty and pain that we have to go through can be managed with the shield of faith. But not only are we enabled to go through difficult moments. If we’re going to do something great for God--if we’re a 47-year-old person thinking about going back to college or a 38-year-old woman who’s thinking about having children, for example—if we’re going to do something audacious, something beyond our capabilities, we all need to pick up the shield of faith. In either moments of difficulty or moments of triumph, come to hear how we wield the shield for the glory of God and our own benefit.

There was a lot of discussion after pastor Mark Marchak's message last Sunday. He asked us all to think to ourselves, Am I useful to God, or am I useless to him? I'm glad it made so many people think.
This week Pastor Gus will speak on Sunday at 10 a.m. In the midst of our circumstances, pain, and struggle, God knows, sees, hears and responds. There is a God who cares about you, and Jesus comes to rescue us all. So whatever frame of mind you might be in right now, come on Sunday to hear a word of encouragement and hope.

Hey Family,
It was great to see so many of you last week and talk about the topic of peace in our lives. No Jesus, no peace, a lot of us already knew. But KNOW Jesus, KNOW peace is what we learned!
This week our sermon series THE WAR continues by talking about the concept of faith. What do we mean when we say the word faith? Is it confidence that things will go our way? Or is it that God's word guarantees that what we hope for will actually happen? Many times we use the word faith as though it means having a strong feeling. This is different from what the Bible calls faith. When the Bible says to "take on the shield of faith," it does so with a specific goal in mind: so that we can extinguish the arrows of the evil one. This week we're going to learn how we can use the faith that God has bestowed upon us in Christ to experience a greater level of freedom and joy as we guard ourselves from the deadly thoughts that Satan can throw at us.

Hey Family,
All of us struggle with this concept of being a good person. We tell ourselves that we're not that bad, we compare ourselves to people who are worse, we try to persuade ourselves with whatever evidence we have that we are good people... but this is a losing battle. Our goodness is not found in our actions, in our station in life, even with how many people we help. It's not found in anything we do but in the finished work of Jesus on the cross.
So am I good? No. But there was one who was good for me, and it's his righteousness that I put on, and therefore I'm able to walk with head held high, not with shame, guilt, and regret, but walking in His goodness. Come this Sunday at 10 a.m. as we continue our series called The War, and find out how to apply the goodness of Christ to your life. Invite your friends and family and I will see you there.

Hey Family, Truth is not something in our culture that is elevated or celebrated. Far too many people play loose and easy with the meaning of "truth." But God in His word calls us to speak the truth, to walk in the truth, and to worship the truth, for He is the truth. Last week we started a series called THE WAR, in which we're learning about the defenses we've been given to fight the unseen forces that can ruin our lives. This week, come and hear how the truth really can set you free. I look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10 a.m.

"I feel like I'll never get past this issue . . . It's got me down . . . I'll never get victory over this area of my life". These are some of the common phrases people use when they feel that they just can't win against some hangup, addiction, or weakness in their lives. The fact is, we all deal with issues that we think will get the best of us and will just beat us every time. And we have proof, because we look at our past and see how we've done against these habits and hangups, and we feel like there will never be a time when we get great victory. God knows we're all going to experience this one way or another, so he's given us armor to be able to defend ourselves from the attacks of evil. Find out more about this by coming to our brand-new series called The War. In this we're going to find out how to live truly free and victorious lives as we put on the full armor of God and seek to walk in the power of His Spirit. I'm really looking forward to seeing you Sunday at 10 a.m. Bring a friend or a loved one who is struggling.

Hey Family,
This week we continue with our series titled Gods at War, which is bound to open your eyes. When we struggle with certain problems in life, we tend to focus on getting rid of the visible symptoms of trouble--cracks in our relationships, a lack of stability in our work life, feeling out of control in various situations. But what we're going to be learning over the next few weeks is that nothing will truly change until we look at the ROOT of the problem, not the FRUIT of the problem.

Hey Family,
There are moments in my life when I ask myself a reflective question: What’s wrong with me? Many of us-- after falling into the same sin pattern, or terrible decision-making process, or mess up again-- ask ourselves this same question.
We at The Recovery House of Worship are going to be addressing this very issue for the next few weeks. We will be getting to the root of why we do what we do. We will be looking at not only our actions but the underlying motivations of those actions. This is a hot topic for many of us, and would be helpful for the loved ones in our lives. So be sure to invite your friends and families as we get together to run to Christ and see His gospel work more clearly than ever before.

These days we look out into the world and see so many things that seem just plain wrong. Political scandals, pain and suffering, and natural disasters seem to be everywhere, and we have to wonder: Why is the world the way it is? This week we're going to take a look at that topic. Not only why the world is the way it is, but also the remedy that can be a hope for us in all circumstances and stages of life.

I hope you were blessed by our series called God's Through Way. It was meant to help you face your doubts, guilt, anger and pain--not by stuffing your feelings or venting them and thinking that's enough, but by praying through the scriptures. If there's one thing you should remember from the series, it's Don't Forget in the Dark What God Taught You in the Light! And if you missed any of the series, you can hear the podcast by going to www.rhowbk.org and clicking on SERMONS.

Hey Family,
I wonder if you've ever been in a situation where your anger is so white hot that you said things and felt things that later you regretted deeply. Anger is an emotion that rarely comes invited. And so we have to learn how to deal with this powerful feeling that generally catches us by surprise.

There are moments, events, and dates in our lives that we remember forever. Something happens to us in those moments that marks us, changes us, moves us to become better. Our opportunity to grow is to remember WHEN it happened, so that we'll know WHY it happened.
Join us this Sunday as we commemorate Memorial Day as well. We look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m.

s there something you did in your past that is such a dark secret, so painful to remember, that it continues to weigh you down a long time after the fact? Is there any way to break away from such guilty feelings? That's what we'll be talking about this week in the next part of our series, God's Through Way. We've learned about praying through our fears, our tears, and our doubts. Let's take it to the next step. I hope to see you Sunday at 10 a.m.--and bring a friend or a loved one who might need this powerful truth from the Bible.

Hey Family,
When we first come to Christ, there's a temptation to live according to our old nature and not according to the gospel. This is true whether we're good little Christians, obeying everything that God has said in an effort to win his approval by our behavior--or if we're NOT so good little Christians, still living according to the sinful habits of yesterday and not enjoying the forgiveness and freedom that can be found in Christ. So every one of us needs to be reminded of the gospel and how to pray it into our souls so that we live more in line with the joy that is found in Christ, rather than our own "good ideas" of what will make us happy.
I hope you have been blessed by our current sermon series, God's Through Way. We've talked about praying through our fears, our tears, and our doubts. In all of these situations Christ is with us. We know that because God assures us it is so. Where can we see that? In his word, the Holy Scriptures. I hope to see you this Sunday at 10 a.m.--and bring your Bible!

Hey Family,
We've just started a new series called "God's Through Way." When life throws something at us that we just don't know how to handle, God is there to walk us through it. Last week we looked at how we can get through our fears by praying for God's help, and we looked at Psalm 3. This week we'll be talking about how Christ is there with us when we are in emotional pain. When loss or grief threatens to overwhelm us, we can cry out to God by praying through our tears. Join us as we learn more about this on Sunday.

Hey Family,
There are times when life hits us with a knock-out punch. Maybe the boss tells us our job is being eliminated. Or the doctor says, "I'm sorry, there's very little I can do." Or a relationship shatters, or a loved one dies.
How do we get through such painful and frightening times? Our new series, "God's Through Way," starts this Sunday and will address that very question. This week our sermon message is "Praying Through Our Fears." Whatever is weighing you down right now, whatever is sucking the joy from your life, you can face with the power of prayer and the Holy Spirit.

Hey Family,
This week is the most holy in the Christian calendar. Good Friday commemorates when Jesus went to the cross to die on our behalf, and Easter Sunday is that most glorious day when he rose from the grave! These two events are the centerpiece of all our lives. There can be no more important time to hear to invite your friends to hear the message of the gospel--the good news. Bring your family, your friends, anyone who needs to hear the life transforming message of the gospel

Hey Family,
The Easter season is the best possible time to invite a friend, loved one, family member or co-worker to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the greatest gift you can give. Please bring someone to our upcoming Palm Sunday service this Sunday at 10 a.m. Palm Sunday is the beginning of Passion Week, which is when we reflect on the incredible journey Jesus made to the cross. But that's not where the story started. His journey started in the heart of God and His desire to pursue and draw you to himself, even before time began.

Hey Family,
We all go through times when we wonder whether God is even present, or if he truly cares. Times of life when relationships are broken, health is compromised, and aspirations and hopes are dashed. During these times we can wonder where God is, and how we will make it through. Come this Sunday as we learn to navigate this season of life that will most certainly come to all of us.
Invite a friend, family member or co-worker who will benefit from this message. We will also celebrate Communion together as a church family. I look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10 a.m.

Join us this week as we travel down to Bethany, where Christ encounters a fruitless fig tree in a time when he is hungry. His reaction may surprise you! As believers, we learn that there is an expectation of what we produce as we abide in Christ and trust in God's word.

I hope you've grown from our current sermon series, The Lord's Prayer. As we look forward to Easter Sunday, we finish up our series by talking about one final blessing that Jesus requested for his disciples. He prayed for unity.
Jesus was sent to draw others to God, and he thanked God that the same love God bestowed on him was meant for all of us. We are all one in that love. Please come this Sunday at 10 a.m.--and bring someone who needs to know they are loved.

Hey Family,
I hope you are being blessed by our current series, The Lord's Prayer. Last week we learned what Jesus had in mind when he prayed for his followers to experience holiness. This Sunday we will hear how he prayed another prayer for all of us. He prayed that we all undertake his same mission: to spread the gospel--the good news.

Hey Family, There is a subject we often avoid talking about. It is holiness. We think this word is archaic or lofty and has no relevance to our daily lives. We think of ourselves as "authentic" or "transparent" but holiness rarely if ever comes into our heads.
This Sunday we will discuss this rare and yet necessary truth of the Christian life. You will come away with a different picture of yourself. I look forward to seeing you at 10 am. --Edwin

This week we begin a new series titled THE LORD'S PRAYER. Jesus prayed many times for his disciples, and over the next few weeks we will be looking at how he spoke His desires for His church. He prayed that his followers would act in holiness, experience unity, and reach out in evangelism. There is no better way to approach Easter than to meditate on how Christ would have us behave in his name.

Last week the apostle Paul explained how we can make a difference in the world without becoming part of the world. Our approach should be to become like others by entering into the culture fully empowered and fully knowing the condition of those we are trying to win for Christ. We are to be a source of light in the midst of darkness.

We've been talking about the attitudes that will help us in changing our lives both personally and as part of a church community. This week we're going to look how can we move from being a church IN the community to being a church WITH and FOR the community. There are so many people living around RHOW who need the word of God--and I'm not just talking about the homeless and others who lack the basic necessities of life. All kinds of new residents are moving in near 360 Schermerhorn who need God in their lives. We don't want to be a clique who keeps to ourselves.

Last week we talked about how we can experience a healthier way of life as a congregation and in all our relationships by adding one secret ingredient to our lives. HUMILITY is the foundation to all relationship success and joy. Yet this is an often ignored and overlooked principle, not only in the scriptures but in life.
Come this week as we look at this most neglected but necessary grace that God gives the believer to experience the kind of relational intimacy we have only dreamed of. I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday at 10 a.m.

Hey Family,
This Sunday we're going to speak about the key ingredient of every healthy relationship. Every year about this time I do two things: I reflect and I project. Reflect on how last year went and project on what I can change in the future. I think a lot of us go through that in one form or another.
One thing that's held true throughout the years is my regular gathering with my brothers and sisters at Recovery House of Worship. I hope this is part of your regular diet of spirituality.

We've reached the end of another year, one that brought happiness, hope, and struggles as well. I hope to see you all at our New Year's Eve service, 10 p.m.-midnight on Saturday, Dec. 31. The next day, Sunday Jan. 1, join us at 10 a.m. as Pastor Gus leads our first service of 2017! In the beginning, everything was made new. You are invited to become new, to start new, to BE new, as you move into a new year.

As we draw closer to Christmas it's important to remember that Jesus was not just a baby in a manger but a Prophet, a Priest and a King.

Hey Family,
Last week we began our new series, JESUS IS THE REASON, by hearing how Jesus is the ultimate Prophet. This week we'll learn how he's also the ultimate Priest--a priest ordained to be the mediator between God and his people. As we approach Christmas day, we hope this series will speak to your hearts and bring you surprising truths about Christ.

Hey Family, As we move into the Christmas season, we want to think more and more about the beauty and the wonder that is Jesus Christ. In our new series called JESUS we're going to discover the miraculous roles that Jesus plays in our lives. He encourages us when we're downcast, strengthens us when we're weak, unites us when we're divided.

Hey Family,
Sometimes when we hear God referred to as our father, some strange images can come into our minds. Perhaps we are influenced by our experience with our earthly fathers, which for better or worse can form our vision of what God is like. Many times we can think that if our earthly father was impossible to please, then our heavenly father is too. Or if our earthly father was very harsh with us when we made errors, then our heavenly father will be too.
This Sunday as our series HUNGRY continues we will work toward reclaiming the tender beauty of seeing God as our Father and enjoying him as one who pursues and longs for us. You don't want to miss out, so I'll see you at 10 a.m. on Sunday, and bring a friend.

Hey Family,
Last week we started a new series, HUNGRY, which we hope will reawaken your appetite for God. Have you been remembering his blessings? We talked about how if we don't do that, we'll forget how God gets us through the hard times, redeems us from the pit, and heals all our diseases. I hope that each of you found some quiet time with God this week and were able to humble yourself before Him. On Sunday we'll continue our series by talking about how many times in life our hearts can be elated or depressed based on the many real injustices, setbacks, or victories that we experience. This week half of America felt as if they won a great victory, and the other half felt like they lost a terrible battle. So this week as we look at the Bible, we will discover another benefit of not being of this world, but belonging to the kingdom of God. --Edwin

Hey Family, As we head into the Thanksgiving season, we're looking forward to connecting with friends and family over a table full of great food. We can all imagine sitting down at that table because we know what follows: the delicious taste of turkey and stuffing and our favorite dessert. When it comes to sitting down with God, though, it's harder to imagine what benefits will follow. In our new series, HUNGRY, we'll talk about how the greatest longing we can have is to yearn for God. This Sunday we'll talk about the 5 most important blessings of spending time with him. Please come and bring a friend! Remember that we all get to sleep in an extra hour after turning back the clock, and I'll see you at 10 a.m.

Hey Family,
I'm looking forward to seeing you all this Sunday! We're going to talk about how often we can walk through life thinking that we're missing out on something--that maybe we need something more in order to be happy. But according to the scriptures God has given us, through Jesus Christ we have everything we need to be joyous, free, and fulfilled.
Sometimes this truth can get lost in the hustle-bustle of life. We can be so concerned about everything that is going on in our day that we forget how God has provided for us. When we understand and fully embrace this truth, though, our worries are addressed, our anxieties are lessened, and we can truly enjoy the beauty and wonder and love that God gives to each of us.

What we believe is so important that it affects every area of our lives. But what happens when what we believe is wrong? Sincerely believing in something does not make it true. For a lot of my life I thought that if you just believe something with your whole heart, that was enough, that belief equals truth. But when we look at the Bible, it's not just belief, but belief in what's TRUE that makes faith so powerful. This week we'll finish up our series God Never Said That by addressing the lie, "It doesn't matter what you believe, as long as you're sincere."

How we live influences what happens after we die. Jesus spoke about how vital it is to live a life that honors God, not just put on the appearance of it. In this third part of our series called GOD NEVER SAID THAT, we'll learn that our acts have consequences that last far beyond the moment. We need to know what God has to say about how his family should behave. If we don't know what scripture says, how can we be true followers of Christ?

Last Sunday we started a brand-new series called GOD NEVER SAID THAT. The purpose is to combat some of the cultural beliefs that often guide our lives--but which are not at all biblical. Last week we looked at the common assumption that God wants us to be happy.. This week we'll dig deeper into a phrase that many of us believe but which is not biblical: "God will never give you more than you can handle." The fact is, the Bible never says that. Now before you feel all betrayed, you need to find out what the Bible really does say, and what God does to comfort and strengthen us in times of serious stress. I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10 a.m.--bring friends and family!

A lot of times people think they're familiar with what the Bible says, when actually that's not true at all! For example, nowhere in scripture does it say, "God helps those who help themselves." This Sunday we're starting a new series called GOD NEVER SAID THAT! In it we'll look at some familiar "words of wisdom" that are not from God at all. Scripture should guide our lives and our relationships, but if we're making choices according to certain things that God never said in the first place, we're going to go off the rails!

Hey Family,
How often do you catch yourself wondering whether somebody else's behavior shows them to be a Christian? Scripture tells us not to judge others, but we ARE asked to examine ourselves. So this week we're going to pause and take some time to determine whether we are fully devoted followers of Christ. It's important to us all, because being a true Christ-follower not only brings us peace and satisfaction, but allows us to bring joy and blessings into the world as well. If we address the things that might be tripping us up in our walk, we can go from being an insecure Christian to a faith-filled follower of Jesus. You don't want to miss this--and bring family and friends!

This week we finish our series WE CAME TO BELIEVE. We've looked at every line of the Apostles' Creed, which lays out the beliefs we all share as Christians. I hope it's been a powerful reminder of the great truths that God has given us to live by.
As we finish the Apostles Creed, we come to the last word, a little word that has powerful meanings for us in our walk together with Jesus. Join us Sunday at 10 a.m. as we welcome Zac Martin from Trinity Grace Church in Brooklyn. We've enjoyed having him before and we look forward as he brings God's word.

Maybe we don't think about it so much, but we know some day it will happen: Each one of us will die. What happens at that moment? Do we vanish like the flame of a blown-out candle? Or does our soul remain, and go on to another kind of existence?
Scripture has much to tell us about what happens after death. This week we will continue our series on what all Christians believe as we host Mark Marchak from Missions Door, one of our favorite guest speakers. We will also celebrate a baptism at Sunday's service, so I hope to see you at 10 a.m.!

Over the last few weeks in our series WE CAME TO BELIEVE, we've been talking about the basic beliefs all Christians share. Last Sunday we talked about how important it is to be a part of a church family. This week we'll learn about what that means in terms of how we treat each other. Jesus taught us to forgive others. Because God forgives each of us, we are meant to show that forgiveness ourselves--even to others who have hurt us deeply.
How can we possibly begin that painful process? Please come this Sunday at 10 a.m. to hear what the Bible has to say about how to grow in this very important area of our lives.

'm looking forward to seeing you this Sunday when we continue with our series, We Came to Believe. We'll be talking about the joy of being part of a church community. We've all had times when we couldn't get to church on a Sunday, and so maybe we listened to a sermon on TV or even a podcast on the RHOW website. But God never meant for us to experience his love alone, separate from each other.
On the contrary, you probably can remember a time when being with other Christians was the only thing that kept you from collapsing under some great stress or sadness. It's that thought that we're going to explore this Sunday.

Come learn more about the third Person in the Holy Trinity. I hope to see you at 10 a.m. on Sunday.

When it comes to God, there are certain things that are easy to highlight and celebrate--like how he forgives our sin and how we will be in heaven with him forever. These are wonderful truths from the Bible that we love to hear. However, there are certain truths that we don't like to talk about so much, especially in our culture. One is God's right to judge--and not only that, but his insistence that he will judge. This week, as we continue our study of the Apostles' Creed, we'll talk about how God is going to come again and how he will judge the living and the dead.
This is an unbelievably important message for Christians. We have already been judged in Christ, and the judgment God will bring is for our celebration and joy. But for those who are far from God, he will bring a judgment of punishment. God doesn't turn a blind eye to injustice. He doesn't ignore terrorism, or children being allowed to go hungry, or the mistreatment of the poor. These actions and many others will be judged and addressed, and we can have confidence and even take joy in that truth.

Hey Family, Last Sunday we were reminded that Jesus loves us to death, and that our sin is no match for his grace. This week in our series WE CAME TO BELIEVE we will wrestle with the question, did Jesus really go to hell? We'll look at the part of the Apostle's Creed where we find a profound statement of what Christ has done on our behalf to win us to himself. There's literally nothing that Jesus won't do to win us back to an intimate, abiding relationship with him. Come this Sunday to find just how much you are loved. --Edwin

Hey Family,
Many of us believe that before we can go to God we have to clean up our act, stop all our bad habits, and address all our sins, to be worthy of God's love. But the scriptures show over and over again that we don't pursue God, he pursues us. This week as we continue with our series We Came to Believe, we will focus on our God who has pursued us throughout history even to this moment. This week will be one of the most creative services you will ever see here at RHOW, so think about inviting a friend! I pray that I'll see you at 10 am Sunday.

ey Family,
So far in our series WE CAME TO BELIEVE, we've learned that:
- What we believe deep down inside determines our behavior.
- God is both infinite--and intimate.
- Jesus is God.
This week, we'll gather to talk about the third part of the holy Trinity, the Holy Spirit. With the power of the Spirit, we can transform from a life of self-centeredness to a life that worships God through serving others. Can't imagine what that life would be like? Join us at 10 a.m. on Sunday and find out!

Hey Family,
When Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do you say that I am?," he was asking the most basic question that any Christian can ponder. The world would have us believe that Jesus has no relevance to our lives today--that he was nothing more than a great teacher, or a prophet among many other prophets, or maybe even just a myth. But the Bible tells a very different story. It explains very clearly that Jesus not only came to die for us, but continues to affect every aspect of our lives, from our family to our finances.

Hey Family,
What we think affects what we do. So it makes sense that we should think the way God would have us think. This is true in our friendships, relationships, family and work. At RHOW this week we're starting a new series, WE CAME TO BELIEVE. Over the next few weeks we will learn what it means to believe rightly, and we'll experience greater freedom and joy as a result. Come to hear and rejoice in what it means to be a Christian and receive the power and promises that God gives us through his word.

Hey Family,
What we believe matters--and how we view eternity will affect how we live our lives in the here and now. This Sunday we'll start a new series in which we'll do our best to understand what the Bible means when it gives us descriptions of both heaven and hell. It's something you don't want to miss, and a great chance to invite your curious friends and family. I look forward to seeing you Sunday at 10 a.m.

Dates coming up:
Thurs. June 30--Emotional healing prayer service, 6 p.m. Global Leadership Summit--Learn that everyone is a leader when it comes to growing in Christ! Aug. 11-12 right here at RHOW-Brooklyn.

Hey Family,
Last week in our series LIFE, MONEY, LEGACY we talked about how putting God first in our finances is the most important financial decision we ever have to make. I am grateful that many of us are learning a great deal about how to handle money in ways that bring glory to God.
This Sunday we'll continue with the next step in the series, so bring your friends and loved ones--anyone who might benefit from the message. We'll also celebrate Communion as a church family.

Money can be a very controversial subject. Many of us are very sensitive about this issue because we feel uncomfortable talking about our money. However in this series we are going past our comfort zone and asking God to reshape how we think of money. Since so many divorces are caused by arguments about money and so many people find themselves in a world of stress about this subject we thought it would be good if our church learned how to deal with money in a more biblical and God honoring way.
Please don't miss this Sunday's service as we continue this series and find ourselves breaking free from the stress of not managing God's money well, come out from under debt, and be happier than we have ever been with our finances. Hope to see you there.
--Sincerely,
Edwin

Last week we started a new series titled AFTERMATH--What To Do After You've Messed Up. Because it happens to all of us. We see something that looks so good to us. Our mind knows that going after that temptation means going against God's will and His word. But we think to ourselves It's just this once, or No one will know, or I just need a little break. And then Satan has his way with us and leaves us in a place of shame.
It's at that point that many people turn away from God rather than running toward Him. But the Bible teaches us that God pursues us even when we sin. When we seek sin, God seeks to save.

I feel so guilty. I'm so ashamed. I did it again. How many times have we said this to ourselves after we've messed up and sinned and gone astray? And when we sin against God, we find ourselves having decisions to make in order to get back on track. That's why in this new series, Aftermath, we're going to find out what to do once we've messed up. How does God respond to us, and what steps should we take?

Hey Family,
This Sunday we close out our True Love series, which I hope has been a blessing to you. In this last week of the series we will be talking about how sometimes love hurts. There's no escaping that...and it was never more true than in the story of what Christ did for us, pursuing us out of love even unto his death on the cross in our place. Come and hear about this greatest love of all, and bring someone you love.

We hope you have been learning and growing in our new series called TRUE LOVE. We've learned that Christ shows us the only true model for how to love others. This week in Part 3 of our series we welcome guest pastor Zac Martin of Trinity Grace Park Slope. We all want to live a life that matters, and we all want to be happy. But if we are honest about it, we often find ourselves living a life filled more with frustration. Come this Sunday at 10 a.m. as we look at John 15 and discover together what it means to live a fruitful life instead of settling for a frustrated life.

Hey Family, Last Sunday we began a new series called TRUE LOVE. We all want to be loved--but often our relationships leave us in tears. Love is one of the most powerful emotions that we can experience, but it's also something we need to learn. Understanding the meaning of true love will affect how we function in our marriages, deal with our children, and approach relationships with others. Jesus will grow us in our ability to love, and I believe He will use this series to help it happen. So I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at 10 a.m.--and bring someone you love.

Hey Family, As Easter approaches, we truly hope you have been blessed by our series on the Purpose Driven Life. We will spend this Sunday speaking about one of the greatest gifts we can have in our lives. That is when we find our mission, that thing that we're meant to spend our lives doing. Discovering our mission means the difference between waking up in the morning but dreading the day--and springing out of bed in the morning, excited about what we've been called to do. This Sunday we will talk about our mission. And as you'll learn when we meet on Sunday, that mission does not just have consequences for a time, but for eternity. I hope to see you at 10 a.m. as we speak about working together to accomplish the mission Jesus gave to his church--that's you and me. --Edwin

Hey Family, Every one of us is a perfect 10 at something. Unfortunately, many of us go through life without ever discovering what it is.

So don't miss this Sunday as we discover what our next purpose is, in our journey toward The Purpose Driven Life. --Edwin

Hey Family, No one is ever born with his or her skills completely developed and ready to be used. And even people who are born with certain talents benefit greatly from being coached and apprenticed. This is also true in our Christian walk. When we become born again we become part of a family thousands of years old--a family that wants to help us to grow into all that God wants us to be. This Sunday we'll talk about what growing into the likeness of Christ looks like, and how we can do life together in order to reach that heavenly goal.

Hey Family, You are not alone! Sometimes that's a tough statement to believe, because so often in our lives we DO feel alone, even when there are others around us. The Bible says we are the church, created to do life with one another--sharing happiness when things go well, mourning with each other when pain comes. You don't want to miss this installment of our new series, The Purpose Driven Life, as we talk about the second purpose for which we are created: Fellowship. This is not a message you should hear alone! Bring a friend or family member.

Hey Family, In the midst of our stressful lives, every one of us seeks relief of some kind. We each have something that we go to thinking it will make us happy and fulfilled. Some of us will sacrifice the very people we love for the sake of pursuing that thing. But the Bible has another way. It's the way of WORSHIP. Not worshiping something that will only take away from us and leave us empty in the end, but worshiping God, who provides all good things. Please join us this week as we continue our series on the Purpose Driven Life and talk about true worship--the most fundamental purpose of our lives. --Edwin

What on earth am I here for? This is a question to inevitably comes to each and every one of us as life goes by. It's not enough just to exist. We want to live out our purpose in life. In this new series, The Purpose Driven Life, we will be discovering the answer to the question. We know that this series will have a great impact on our lives--but it's also perfect for non-Christians who are asking themselves the same thing. We encourage you to use this opportunity to invite some of your friends so that they too can find out their purpose.

tarting over again and again is not the problem for the person who wants change in their life. The famous author Mark Twain once said that quitting smoking was easy for him, he did it a thousand times. That quote might be funny and we can all identify with it, but there's nothing funny about not following through with something that we all know is good for us and will benefit our lives, families, relationships, and future hopes and dreams. Join us this Sunday as we learn from God's word about how to finish well.This final part of our Game Plan series will have a lot of applications for many areas of life. We will all benefit from God's wisdom on how to stick to a plan. Invite your dogs, any space aliens you may have living in your home, or just bring a friend.;-)

And this Sunday our series called "The Game Plan" continues as we talk about how important it is to be part of a team. God gave the Christian the church so that together we can enjoy fellowship and serve God--for his glory, our joy, and that the nations may be glad. There is no such thing as a "Lone Ranger" Christian. We are meant to go through life as part of the body of Christ, celebrating joys and successes and supporting each other through heartache and failure. So bring a friend at 10 a.m. and introduce them to what it means to be part of a church family.

Hey Family,
Sometimes life comes at us with such a speed that it takes great wisdom to figure out how to react. What do we do when tragedy strikes, or financial struggles pop up out of nowhere, when our children stray or sickness strikes unexpectedly? What decisions should we make, how should we proceed? In moments like this it's great to have a quarterback to direct us and give us the instruction that we need while the plays are being made. Come join us this week as we speak about the importance of getting direction in the crucial moments of life we all must face. .

Many of us have heard about the playbooks that sports teams use to guide their plays and win games. But did you know that Christians too have a playbook? It guides us in how we live our lives, make decisions, create relationships and plan for the future. This week we're going to talk about the Christian playbook and how using it will result in joy that we never thought possible. I look forward to seeing you there--and be sure to invite a friend!

And on Sunday we begin a new series called "The Game Plan." We've all made New Year's resolutions--and then failed with them. Why? Because we try to rely on our own strength. We'll be learning about a new game plan--what happens when we rely on God for direction, strength, and fulfillment in our lives. The series will kick off with Pastor Ray speaking, I hope you enjoy.

Hey Family,
We've been celebrating God's PRESENCE in our lives in this latest series. When life is at its toughest, he is at his closest. He breaks through even in the midst of our worst circumstances. And he's the one who knows us best--but he still loves us the most! Tonight at our Christmas Eve service we'll talk about how God uses the most unlikely people to reveal himself. May you and your families experience the many blessings of Christmas!

Christmas is only a few days away. This Sunday will be our Christmas service, and your presence is requested! Join us as we continue our series called PRESENCE. We've learned that when life is at its toughest, God is at his closest. We also came to understand that God will break through whatever situation we're in, in order to love us.

The holidays can be a challenge for many people. We can be missing family members who are no longer with us, or we can be far away from those we love.

We've just started a new series called Presence. Last we we talked about how, when life is at its toughest, God is at his closest. This week we're going to dig deeper into that concept. The holidays can be a challenge for many people. We can be missing family members who are no longer with us, or we can be far away from those we love. Join us this Sunday, when we talk more about how to receive comfort and joy from God himself, in these tough times.

ecember always seems to fly by as we look for gifts, plan parties, get together with friends and enjoy our families. But as Christians, December should be the opportunity to look back on our year and thank God for all he's done for us. And as we look forward to the 25th, our first thought should be that we celebrate and rejoice because of the great gift God gave us in his son.
This Sunday we begin a new series called PRESENCE. I hope to see you all there, and please bring family and friends.

We've been talking about how to share our faith with others. If Christ has truly changed our lives, that means we have a story to tell. So far in our series called Thanks for Sharing, we've learned about sharing our story with others and opening the door for them to continue the conversation. What happens if they bring up objections? That's our topic this week--how to respond to argument or rejection, humbly and in the spirit of Christ.

Last week we talked about how to "start the conversation" with people we love and care about but don't yet believe in Christ. We all want our loved ones to join in the most important relationship of our lives. Step 1: Tell your story! Tell them what Christ has done in your life--and then stop. This week, we'll continue our brand-new series called "Thanks for Sharing" by moving on to Step 2! We'll dive deeper and learn further to what it means to share with others the joy of being in Christ. It's a great time to bring friends and family.

We all have friends and family that we speak to every day and love with all our hearts, but are not enjoying the beautiful fellowship that we have with Christ Jesus--the most important friendship we can ever have. We'll be speaking over the next few weeks about how we can invite others into that friendship. How do we engage our families, our friends and co-workers, in such a way that helps to introduce them to the love of our lives? Come and find out how Jesus can use you to change people's lives, not only for a time but for eternity.

Hey Family,
What happens when God's love fills you? When it really consumes you? Not when you theorize about it or imagine or make believe.... What impact does the love of God have on someone? What mark does it leave? That's what Pastor Raymond will be sharing with us this Sunday at RHOW Brooklyn.

We've been in our series "The Way of Love" for several weeks now, and more and more people are coming to hear the truths that the Bible reveals about love. We've learned that God is love and that his love is what the world needs.

We've been learning about love. What it means to be loved, what it means to love others. This week we'll talk about our motives. When we express love to others, is it because we really care about them, or are we trying to get something in exchange?

In our series "The Way of Love" we've come to realize that Jesus lavishes more love upon us than it's possible to hold. What are we supposed to do with the overflow? This week we'll hear how Christ challenges us to take that extra and use it to change our lives and the lives of others.

Last week our series on love talked about the many definitions of love. It is patient, it is kind, it does not envy or boast or keep track of the wrongs that other people do to us. True gospel love reflects the love that Christ has given us. In the old days we might have lashed out at someone who seemed to mistreat us--but a Christian who has received Christ's abundant love can overflow with that love toward others. This week we'll continue in 1st Corinthians chapter 13 to the verse reading "Love never fails." If we truly believe that promise, we can have assurance in even the hardest times of life.

We've really just scratched the surface when it comes to everything the Bible has to say about love. If you've been growing in your understanding of gospel love, then I hope you'll join us this Sunday as we get deeper into the details. What's at stake? Just the way we live the rest of our lives!

hope you were intrigued by last week's sermon, which was part one of our new series, THE WAY OF LOVE. We only scratched the surface of such a huge topic in everyone's lives. This coming Sunday we're going to cover the question "What kills love?" The Bible has so much to say about what love is (and is not!). And if we get this right, it will change our lives forever.

I'm really looking forward to speaking to you this coming Sunday. We're starting a new series called The Way of Love, which will look at the many, many things Jesus says about love. One is, "Love each other as I have loved you." Is that even possible? God loved us so much that he sent his son to die in our place--the only sacrifice holy enough to make up for all the sins we have committed and will ever commit. How can we possibly love others in such a sacrificial way?
That's what we'll start to explore this Sunday. If you have trouble dealing with people in your life who seem unlovable, this message will be a blessing to you. Bring a friend, bring your family, and we'll see you at 10 a.m. on Sunday.

Our series "Ghost" continues this week when Pastor Rob Rodriguez speaks to us about how the Holy Spirit brings clarity from confusion. When we accept Christ as our savior, the Holy Spirit comes to live within us as helper, comforter, teacher and guide. That great blessing means that whenever we face a confusing situation and must make a decision, we may call on the Holy Spirit in prayer. We'll be looking at Mark 1:4-11, the baptism of Jesus.

Our "GHOST" continues we'll learn how the Holy Spirit gives us the ability to express to others how Jesus has changed our lives. Don't you know someone who needs to hear what trusting in Christ has done for you? Those who are struggling with sin in their lives, or who desperately need hope and something to believe in? The Holy Spirit does not allow us to be tongue-tied in the presence of those who need to hear our story. Come this Sunday to hear about the power that lives in each one of us to speak up for Christ's sake. Our speaker will be one of our favorite visiting pastors, Drew Hyun.

Pastor Gus will be helping us to understand how the Holy Spirit--the third person of the trinity of God--grows us into MATURITY. We may chronologically be adults, but that's no guarantee we will act that way. Even at the age of 30, 40, 50 we can continue to be very immature in our relationships and behaviors. The Holy Spirit is God at work within us to grow and change us--if we understand that and get out of our own way.

Do you want to give hope to others but don't know how to speak to them? You'll definitely want to hear-this message about the power the Holy Spirit gives us to tell others about our faith!

his week, as we continue our series on THE GHOST, we'll learn that having that Spirit inside of us gives us a unity that others can't understand.

Our speaker will be Robert Rodriguez, RHOW's newest addition to the team, and I know you will want to hear his powerful message.

There's a wonderful old hymn called "Blessed Assurance." The first verse goes, "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine, Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood. " Yet you'd be surprised how frequently people who have accepted Christ as their savior fall into doubting that blessed assurance. Is there a way to know for sure that we belong to God? Come this Sunday as we continue our series GHOST to learn about the Holy Spirit's role in our lives.

Pastor Ray, delivered a powerful message about arming ourselves against the powers of darkness. Danger can come upon us in many forms, often ones that seem innocent and even good for us. God's word in the Bible gives us a heads-up about recognizing those sneak attacks.

One of the easiest things to do in life is lose your faith. It's something that doesn't need to be taught, or much of anything to set it off. It happens without us trying, because the tendency of the human heart is to stray away from God, not run toward him. It's also one of the most painful things that we can see happen--people walking away to the detriment of their children, their family, and their souls. Listen in as we continue in the series 5 EASY STEPS TO WRECK YOUR LIFE--and find out how not to lose your faith.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard this from Christians who desire to be faithful but feel their energy, strength, and moral fortitude failing them. That's because they're trying to do things on their own--but God never meant us to grow, mature, or change in isolation. God uses others to help us to change. If we're going to change our affections, if we're going to reject sin and receive the new life in Christ, it's going to be as part of a community.

In this final week of our series called The Waiting Room, we'll talk about how sometimes it's hard to see beyond our current situation because our circumstances are so overwhelming. But when we can't look beyond our own pain, our stuff takes on a life of its own and becomes bigger than God. Come this Sunday to learn how NOT to let depression and bitterness set in.

"Loving Enough to Speak Truth"--Scripture can help us to correct others, encourage them, and teach them--but the truth must be spoken with love.

We look at the importance of the decisions and direction in our lives. Just longing or intending to have a better marriage, grow closer to Christ, share the gospel, read the Bible, etc., isn’t enough—we need a plan. That’s the way we’ll take steps, by God’s grace, to grow in the areas of life that would give God glory and us pleasure. Parents, be sure to start teaching these biblical truths to your children. Direction, not intention, determines destination.
