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, o...

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...

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....

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...

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 w...

Hey family, The book of Jude is one of the shortest in the Bible, but it packs a powerful message. And I'm happy to tell you that one of RHOW's favorite guest speakers, John Fils-Aime from Central Baptist Church in Manhattan, will be the one to bring its message to you. 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 Su...

How do you respond when life is disappointing, discouraging and painful? Come join us at 360 Schermerhorn, 10 am on Sunday, as we talk about this crucial step in a life lived in love.

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. Join us at 360 Schermerhorn this Sunday as we continue our series “Improving You...

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, neig...

Hey family, we've all heard the description that GOD IS LOVE. He is the greatest teacher we could ever ask for when it comes to our relationships with other people. And so if it seems that some issue or hang-up is keeping you from giving and receiving love, this is the series for you. I invite you to come Sunday at 10 a.m. and hear the first part of this new series, "Improving Your Love Life." Bring a loved one! Kids' Church will begin at 10 a.m. also. IMPORTANT MASK UPDATE: We will still be tak...

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. And a healthy family learns to commit to each other, look for the good in each other, and model the change we want to see in the world around us. See you tomorrow at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn. Kids’ Church for ages 4-11 will meet as well! --Edwin

Hey family, do we bear fruit in what we do--or are we dead branches, only good for burning? Jesus talked about how important it is to stay connected to him if we're going to be fruitful in our lives. Join us this Sunday as Pastor Gus reminds us that God has commissioned each of us to go and share what we have learned and know to be true. Salvation leads us somewhere, to do something, for someone. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m. Sunday at 360 Schermerhorn. Kids' Church is available for ag...

Hey family, have you ever received an appointment from God? Has he ever selected you for a special task? When that happens, God will give you the tools you need and the courage to carry out his work. That's what we'll be talking about this Sunday, as we welcome guest speaker Pastor James Leonard to our 10 a.m. service. Our kids' church will also be open, so please join us at 360 Schermerhorn. We continue to observe all safety protocols. I look forward to seeing you there.--Edwin

Hey family, don't we all need a word of encouragement sometimes? Our message this Sunday comes from one of the most beautiful Psalms ever written. The author was King David, who was known as "a man after God's own heart." David faced struggle, betrayal, and heartache during his lifetime, but he never turned away from God. We'll hear more about this from our visiting speaker, Patrick Boatwright, lead pastor of Oaks Church, Brooklyn. Please join me, 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn. Kids' Church will b...

Hey family, Pastor Zac has been leading our justice and mercy team through a discussion of how justice is both an internal and an external work. This Sunday he's going to share that message with the rest of us, in the first of a series coming up on various weeks in the future. This week we'll address how we need to become a certain kind of people in order to do the work that God is inviting us to do. We're observing all health and safety protocols, so please join us at 10 AM Sunday at 360 Scherm...

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.

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. Ki...

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 abo...

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 ju...

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...

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’ Ch...

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 opportu...

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. We are ...

Hey family, we're in a series called "Equipped," in which we're learning about protecting ourselves by wearing the armor of God. This Sunday Pastor Gus will be our tour guide on a trip to Ephesus, where the apostle Paul revealed that spiritual warfare is real and that we all must be equipped to face it. We'll also learn that those who believe in Christ will WIN! You don’t want to miss any part of this series. I look forward to seeing you at our live service, Sunday at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn S...
