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...

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...

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. --Edwin Dates coming up: Thurs.

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. --Edwin...

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. ...

LEGACY and learn how to leverage what we make today for the benefit of our future.

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 ...

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? Join us this Sunday at 10 a.m.and invite a friend.

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 wha...

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 lo...

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 ta...

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. God made us to excel by giving each of us a set of particular gifts and abilities. He wants them to be used for his glory and our joy. 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 toge...

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 ...

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...

Hey Family, 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 y...

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 ho...

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. ...

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 importanc...

Hey Family, 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! --Edwin

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. --Edwin

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!

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. --Edwin

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....
