260524 Endowed with Dignity

While often overlooked, dignity is an attribute that God expects us to not only embrace but to grow in over time. A lion is endowed with a certain majesty that is not dependent on its environment. In the same way, the Lord has made us and crowned us with a certain glory that is not defined by our circumstances. The more we acknowledge this, the more we are able to walk in this god-given dignity. It’s not just a garment that we put on and off, it’s an immutable trait that defines who we are as sons and daughters of God. Matthew 22; Proverbs 30; 1 Timothy 2; Psalm 8; Ephesians 4; Judges 6 NYC Sunday Sermon | May 24, 2026

260517 Q&A with David and Debbie Hogan

During this Q&A session, David Hogan, and his wife Debbie, share with us stories, testimonies, and wisdom that they have gained over decades serving the Lord in Mexico. The Hogans reflect on the nuances of balancing ministry and family, the personal costs and discipline required for a life obedient to God, and the importance of yielding to God’s sovereign will even when things do not go the way we hoped.

260510 The Catalyst of Injustice

Stories throughout the Bible show us that spiritual inheritance is often gained through a breakthrough triggered by injustice. The promise spoken to Abraham was not only realized because of his faith, but because of the injustice that his descendants experienced. The persistent widow received an answer not just because she prayed, but because she demanded justice where it was lacking. Knowing that trials are not setbacks but legal anchors required to possess the land, we should rejoice when we experience them for our redemption is at hand. Hebrews 11; Genesis 15; Luke 18; Psalm 89; Luke 21 NYC Sunday Sermon | May 10, 2026

260503 The Restraint of the Lord

Freedom is merely the foundation of faith; maturity comes through the restraint of the Lord that narrows our path. Unlike King Uzziah, who overstepped his calling, when we embrace God's specific harness on our lives, it prevents self-destruction. By choosing this narrow way over broad possibilities, we move from unguided freedom to becoming useful servants of divine purpose. Galatians 5; Proverbs 29; 2 Chronicles 26; Matthew 5; 1 Chronicles 4; Acts 21; Isaiah 7; 1 Samuel 16 NYC Sunday Sermon | May 3, 2026

260426 Live to Please Him

The story of King’s Saul disobedience reveals to us what God means by desiring someone “after his own heart.” By disregarding Samuel’s instructions, Saul demonstrated that he had elevated the opinions of men over the pleasure of God—the exact opposite of what the Lord is looking for. Like Nehemiah, who did not let political, social, or religious pressures distract him from his assignment, we are called to work and to live to please none other but God. 1 Samuel 13; Nehemiah 6; Galatians 1; John 12 Spring Retreat 2026 Sunday Sermon | April 26, 2026
