New Life Fellowship NYC

In this sermon, Pastor Rich explores the ways politics takes a place in our lives that damages our relationship with God and each other. He spends time teaching on “political enmeshment” and how to faithfully engage politics without losing our distinctive call to follow Jesus.

This week, we begin a new sermon series on "God, Politics, and the Church." In a world caught in political hostility, the call to be Christ-followers is desperately needed. Pastor Rich offers a vision of Christian formation that helps us resist political entanglements, while bearing witness to the healing power of Jesus for the world.

At times, we find ourselves in a wilderness - seasons of waiting, transition, living with limits and the in-between. The wilderness in our lives provides a liminal space where God’s activity and invitation is more present than we may see.

Every September, we take the time to re-explore our Vision as a Church family. This Vision Sunday, Pastor Rich offers fresh insight into the kind of life that God calls us into. A life marked by particular values, rhythms and practices. Sermon Questions

Pastor Rich leads us in a special message to help us pay attention to our losses. It's often the case that we don't take time to grieve, and as result, we miss important opportunities for God's healing and grace to meet us. This service has contemplative elements to it, so please make space in your home to be attentive to God and ourselves during our time of worship.

Pastor Rich preaches on a foundational truth that Jesus announces about the Church. This truth will help us to recognize our role in being the Church, and remind us of who we are called to be in the world. Sermon Questions

The Temple in Jerusalem was central to worship before Jesus ushered in a new reality. How does this image help us to be the Church now, when we find ourselves scattered and unable to meet in the usual ways? Sermon Questions

As the church we are called to live in the world by the values of heaven. When we do this the world around us gets to see what it looks like when heaven comes to earth. Sermon Questions

Though goats and sheep were common, God uses sheep as a reference to His people, all throughout Scripture. Though many of us may have little real-life experience with sheep or flocks, the word picture holds deep significance for followers of Jesus today, whether we are city or country dwellers.
