John 10:1-10 | I AM the Door
Whose voice do we trust, and where is it leading us? Guest preacher Ian Costen, an NYC campus pastor, explores Jesus’ declaration, “I am the door,” in John 10:1–10. In a world of competing voices and promises, Jesus protects his people, helps us discern what we let into our hearts, and welcomes…

A Christ-Centered Church: The Power of the Cross
What does it mean to follow Jesus when his invitation is generous, and his demands are costly? In Luke 14:25–35, Jesus calls us to love him above every other love and take up our cross. We explore how his cross makes that possible by freeing us to love our families more faithfully, face ourselves...
-
A Christ-Centered Church: Everything is Now Ready.
In Luke 14:15–24, Jesus tells a story about a great banquet and an invitation that is already going out. The Kingdom of God has come near, but not everyone recognizes the invitation for what it is. This message explores what marks a Christ-centered community: conviction, compassion and candor…

A Christ-Centered Church: Setting the Table
Our pastoral resident, Sean Davis, preaches on Luke 14:7–14 in part two of our sermon series, Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?, exploring humility, hospitality, and what it means to have a seat at God’s table.
-
A Christ-Centered Church
Today, we begin a five-week series in Luke 14, centered on the story traditionally known as The Great Banquet. It’s a chapter filled with meals, invitations, unexpected guests, uncomfortable questions, and the surprising grace of Jesus. As we move through it, we’ll consider not only what Jesus...
-
The Greatest Commandment: Love God and Neighbor
With last week's sermon, Pastoral Resident unpacks Matthew 22:34-40. Knowing these two commands, it makes both the religious and the irreligious ask, who can fully love God?
-
Comfortable Words | We have an Advocate
When you fail, whose voice has the final word? In the concluding message of The Comfortable Words, we explore 1 John 2:1–2 and the good news that Jesus Christ is our righteous Advocate. Far from minimizing our sin, the gospel tells the truth about us, and then speaks a better word. Through…
more -
The Comfortable Words | Your future is not determined by your past
There are few sentences in all of Scripture more comforting than these: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." But that comfort only reaches us when we're willing to admit who we really are. In this message, we explore why the gospel isn't for people who have it all together, but for...
-
The Comfortable Words : For God so Loved the World
As we enter the summer and conclude another ministry year, we'll spend four weeks reflecting on what Christians have historically called The Comfortable Words—four brief passages of Scripture traditionally read after confession in the Book of Common Prayer. In earlier English, comfortable didn't...
-
Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled
This week, our pastoral resident, Sean Davis, takes us through John 14:15-27, where we learn more about the person and work of the Holy Spirit.
-
Ten Commandments: You Shall Not Covet
The Tenth Commandment forbids more than wanting good things. It warns against desires that grow unchecked — desires that become demands, and when unmet, harden into envy and resentment. But here’s the tension: if coveting helped create the problems we inherited, what makes any generation think it...
-
Ten Commandments : Living in Reality
Today we explore both a commandment and a calling. At the surface, it’s about honesty—but underneath, it’s about something deeper: whether we’re willing to live in reality—with others, with ourselves, and with God. Listen to the latest in our series on the Ten Commandments. "You shall not bear...
-
Ten Commandments: When does doing wrong begin to feel right?
Like murder and adultery, most of us don’t think of ourselves as “thieves.” And yet, we all have ways of taking, withholding, and justifying. We don’t just break the commandment, we reinterpret it. Today, as we consider the Eighth Commandment, we ask: When does your heart decide the rules don’t...
-
Ten Commandments: Why Does God Call It Adultery?”
We said last week that some commandments we think we understand, and others we don’t. Certain commandments we assume are really for other people. The Seventh commandment might feel like one of those. But it’s not. Whether you’re married or single, this commandment is for you.
-
Ten Commandments: You shall not Murder: Are You Sure You Haven’t Broken This Command?
When we look at the Commandments, some make sense, some confuse us, and some confront us immediately. But there are a few we tend to feel relatively “safe” around—like we might actually move through life and keep them. The sixth commandment is near the top of that list, but are you sure you…
more -
Easter: “Why do you look for the living among the dead?”
Luke 12:1-12 If Easter is true, our assumptions about reality need to change. We functionally assume: Death is final, that Power wins, and that Time is the eraser of all things. Bodily resurrection, however, means that Life can come out of Death, Weakness can defeat Power, and Hope can come from...
-
Palm Sunday: “The King You Want vs. The King You Need”
For John, Palm Sunday is Passion Sunday. John makes it unmistakably clear, that “ This is the moment when everything begins to move toward the cross— the hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.” Which means what looks like a coronation… is actually the beginning of a crucifixion. John...
-
The Ten Commandments: Honor your Parents in a Broken World
When God calls Israel to honor Fathers and Mothers, God is speaking to our first identity—as sons and daughters—and saying that at every stage of life, we are to honor our parents. For some of us, that feels natural. But for others… it feels impossible. What do you do when God commands you to…
more -
The Ten Commandments: Commanded to Rest
In God’s original design, we were made to work with God and rest in God. But in a fallen world, and in our fallen condition, our relationship to both is broken. We mismanage our emotions, mismanage our relationships, mismanage our time, because we’ve mismanaged our relationship to Him.
-
The Ten Commandments: Right Worship
Worship is one of the natural things human beings do, but right worship is one of the most challenging things we’ll ever do. Why is that? Because right worship comes about through revelation. Listen and discover why the second command is so helpful. Exodus 20:1-4
-
The Ten Commandments | For Love of God and Neighbor
You can hang a sign on a wall, but you cannot force a heart to love. We live in a world that feels like it has too many laws, yet we never seem to have enough to fix the human condition. What are we to do? Join us for our Lenten Series on the Ten Commandments. Exodus 1:1-3
-
The Helper of the Church
As Jesus prepares His disciples for a hostile world, He introduces the Holy Spirit with a singular, radical purpose: to give the Church Access. Discover how the Spirit ensures we can truly know and possess God in this life. Jesus desires for you to have access—come find your seat at the table.…
more -
Where is Your Home?
One of the key doctrines of the Christian faith is that this world is not Home. But if this world isn’t your home, then what is? Is there a place that you’re made for? In John's gospel, Jesus gives us great insight into who and what we were made for in order to live here and now with great love…

Protect your Heart by Risking your Heart
Having reflected, in December, on Isaiah’s imagery of a shoot (a tendrel, a vine, growing out of a stump, we now turn to the life of Christ at work in the lives of New Yorkers. This series ministers to our hearts while addressing our hopes for 2026, by reminding us of our unique mission as a…

Fruitful
Having reflected on Isaiah’s imagery of a shoot growing out of a stump, we now turn to the life of Christ at work in the lives of New Yorkers. This short series will minister to the hopes and expectations we have for ourselves in 2026, as we’re reminded of our own unique mission as a local church...
-
Walking by the Spirit
To walk by the Spirit is to walk in conflict, and because of that, in life there is the good, the bad, the ugly, and the hope.
-
Peace from a Stump
The passage from Isaiah 11 is not a parable, but it is a metaphor from human history that touches on themes similar to Shell Silverstein's, The Giving Tree. But unlike the Silverstein poem, the promise of Isaiah 11 is that one day, because of the cross of Jesus Christ, man will be united to God…
more -
What Child is This?
In this message, Sean Davis explores the profound themes of hope, the person of hope, and the security of that hope as presented in Isaiah 9:2-7. He emphasizes the historical context of Isaiah's prophecy, the significance of the birth of Christ, and the eternal nature of His kingdom. The message...
-
Freedom and the Channeling of Love
If Christ has done everything, why is the Christian life still so difficult? The Apostle Paul teaches the Galatians the difference between spiritual freedom and slavery, and the power to transform self-centered love outward towards others.
-
Blessed Beneficiaries
What if the core issue of spiritual burnout isn't what you do, but a fundamental misunderstanding of who you are? What if the anxiety you carry comes from living like a hired hand, desperately working for a status you actually inherited? Paul shows us that when the fullness of time came, God sent...
-
Spiritual Renewal | Sanctification or Sanctimonious?
Christian holiness is not a self-help program, but a life-long reaction to God’s finished work.
-
Spiritual Renewal | Justification
This morning, we are opening up the book of Galatians to begin a new series on Spiritual Renewal. In the best of circumstances, we pray, we serve, we read the Bible, yet we feel deflated. Our inner life lacks power, our church life often lacks grace, wisdom, and it’s way too easy to fall into...
-
Psalm 141 | Supplication and Self-Deception
In a city filled with coaches and counselors, 360 reviews, and personality assessment tests, NYers could make the case, and often do, that we’re incredibly self-aware. But the truth is we’re prodigies when it comes to self-deception. Supplication is that aspect of prayer where the person praying...
-
How Gratitude Directs Prayer
Are you attitudinally grateful? King David is... and its from this place that he entrusts God to deal with two things he cannot control on his own; his character and his enemies.
-
Psalm 141 | Coming of Age through Prayer
If you’re a Christian, confession is never about your condemnation, it’s always about your coming of age. Through confession, David is inviting God to shape him into the person God’s already declared David to be.
-
Psalm 141 | Dependent Prayer
Great writers Now, writers are known to have a "love/hate" relationship to their craft, but they’re dependent on writing to know themselves. Christians, have a similar relationship to prayer, its hard, but we’re dependent on prayer because it's in and through prayer where experience both awe and...
-
Love Bids You Welcome
This week, we end our series on the parables of Jesus. Listen in as our Pastoral Resident Sean Davis unpacks the greatest invitation. How would you respond?
-
Status
This week we learn from guest preacher, Steve Ko, as we reflect on Psalm 41.
-
Does God take back his forgiveness?
Today we have a parable that starts out laughable but turns deadly serious. Jesus teaches us that if you don’t have a relationship with God based on forgiveness, which inclines you toward forgiveness and reconciliation when the opportunity present itself than you might not have the relationship...
-
The Parable of the Heart
Oftentimes when we’re looking to learn and grow we look for the right program, coach, podcast, etc. Jesus comes alongside us and asks “Have you looked at our hearts, and ask ourselves the questions, “Am I ready, willing and able to grow? And, if not, how come?
-
A Citizen of Two Cities
At the end of our story in Acts 16, Paul gives us a powerful demonstration of citizenry! Because his primary citizenship is in heaven, Paul is liberated to be the very best citizen on earth. He’s free to be both Rome’s most loving critic and its most hopeful contributor.
-
The Unshakeable Gospel | Acts 16:16-40
Acts 16 shows us that the gospel offers something far better than some false sense of control. In a world of fragile power and fleeting happiness, it provides liberation, opportunity, and joy that transforms our reality.
-
The Unfolding Invitation of God
God's invitation into His family is surprisingly wide, wonderfully welcoming, and that the invitation has been received and accepted, can be visibly verified.
-
The Christian's Conversion
This past weekend we celebrated my nephew's birthday and the day before, we sat and listened as his parents told the story of his birth. What took place on the day of his birth? Why do we do this? So he can now place his own life within the context of a greater story? Yes. So, he can have…

Is the Great Commission still "Great"?
This passage is often thought of as “the Great Commission” because in it we see that God is not just sending his people on mission, but in Jesus, he is himself on mission.
-
Easter 2025 | Resurrection and Hope
The Gospel doesn't just say 'hope again!' With the risen Christ there is now an unshakeable foundation, for a deeper and more resilient life, than we previously imagined.
-
Acts 6:1-7 | Partnership Over Pedestals
This week, Rev. Rich McCaskill provides a great lesson on how to see and serve others, and the resources to do so. Enjoy.
-
Acts 8:26-40 | Agency or Apathy?
Today we’re looking at Acts 8, and in this passage we discover see two men desiring God’s salvation; one is there to offer it, the other is there to receive it, because God is there to provide it. This is a story of how the gospel changed both their lives.
-
Acts 4:1-31 | Courage Over Cowardice (Part II)
With this week's message, we'll reflect on the same passage as last week but from a different vantage point. Unlike last week, where we hovered about 2 inches over the text. This week, I’d like to take a different approach and take the 10,000 foot view, so that we can reflect more specifically on...
-
Acts 4:1-37 | Courage over Cowardice
During this season we're laying aside certain habit or behaviors to better know ourselves and our relationship with God. This week, we're laying aside cowardice and taking up courage in the face of opposition.
