The gift-Part 2 - Audio
Hey family, we are in the second week of our Advent series, as we approach the beautiful day of Christmas 2020. We are so grateful that God sent his Son, that he might save everyone who seeks him. This week we’ll reflect on Christmas and how some people turn away from the beauty and the wonder of the incarnation, while others embrace it wholeheartedly. Why not bring a friend to join us at 360 Schermerhorn? As you know, we are observing safe social distancing, taking temperatures, handing out mas...

The Gift - Audio
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

The Land Between - Audio
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 i...

The Land Between_ Dont want to be alone-Pastor Zac - Audio
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...

The Land between - Audio
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.

The lnd Between- What way do I go - Audio
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.

The Land in Between - Audio
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.

The Land Between - Audio
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 ...

Besetting Sins-No More - Audio
Hey family, this has been a wild series that we've gotten a lot of feedback from. It's amazing how God has been helping us to say 'NO MORE BS'--No More Besetting Sins.

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 so...

B.S.-Besetting Sins - Audio
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 Hi...

Besetting Sins-Turn - Audio
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 situation...

Besetting Sins-NO - Audio
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 vocabula...

Do you really trust Him - Audio
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. --Edwin

All things to all people - Audio
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...

Evangelism - Audio
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 eva...

Beside the fire-Drew Jackson - Audio
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, ...

Can't we all just get along - Audio
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. --Edwin

This IS US-Prayer - Audio
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

Jesus is the light of Christmas - Audio
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 wh...

A Present for You - Audio
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. ...

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 a...

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.
