Sleep in sunday. Hear pastor Edwins latest sermon Come and see

Hey family, we've been exploring the wonder and the fullness of who God is. He is a God of no limits. He is more deeply involved with our lives than we know--and he loves us more than we can imagine. Come and see who our great God truly is. It will change your life.

We meet at 360 Schermerhorn St. in downtown Brooklyn, Sundays at 10 a.m. Children ages 5-12 are invited to attend Kids' Church at 10 as well.

Announcements

Hey family, we've just started a new series where we will be getting to know the God who loves us and rules over our lives. This Sunday, we'll learn that the God who loves us has big dreams for us. We may think we have very little control over our situation, or no way to realize our dreams. But God is a God with no limits. Bring your questions. Come as you are. Come and see.

Sundays at 10 AM (children's church for ages 5-12 begins at 10 also)

Next Step Community Church

360 Schermerhorn Street, Brooklyn

Many people believe in God, yet struggle to understand what he's really like or how knowing him makes any difference in everyday life. Beginning this Sunday, join us for Come and See: A Bigger Vision of God, a new series designed to help us discover who God is and why that changes everything.

As we journey toward Thanksgiving and Christmas, we'll explore how a deeper knowledge of God brings hope in difficult seasons, gratitude in everyday life, trust when circumstances feel uncertain, and fresh reasons for worship. Whether you've followed Jesus for years or are simply curious about faith, you're invited. Bring your questions. Come as you are. Come and see

Hey family,

Did you know that God wants us to feel joyful? Even in difficult times, when sorrow and struggles seem to surround us, there are ways to recognize God's presence. And recognizing him in our lives will always bring us joy. Join us Sunday when we look at Psalm 126 with our guest speaker, Pastor Jeff Truong of Hope Church. Service starts at 10 a.m. Kids' church for 5-12 starts at 10 a.m. also. -Edwin

Hey family, tomorrow we will hear from a special speaker: Craig Fee, a leader in the house church movement. House churches follow the model of the very early church, when people worshiped God in small groups in their homes. We will be blessed to hear God's word from his perspective.

What if some of the things we’ve been taught to see as signs of a “complete” life aren’t actually what make a life complete? And what if God has something to say about the season you’re in right now?

This Sunday, Pastor Chris will be preaching on singleness and inviting us into an honest conversation that reaches far beyond relationship status. Whether you are single or married, this is a conversation worth being in the room for. Join us this Sunday, and don’t come alone. Think of someone who may be wrestling with questions about relationships, purpose, or the life they thought they would have by now—and invite them to sit with you. It may be exactly the conversation they need.

We meet at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St., at 10 a.m. Kids' Church for ages 4-12 starts at 10 as well. I hope to see you there. --Edwin

Monday morning prayer--7:30 - 8:30 a.m. every week. Open to all! Enter through the Schermerhorn side of the building.

Let's talk about love

Hey family, it’s easy to talk about love. It’s much harder to live it out—especially when people frustrate, offend, or disappoint us. In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul challenges us with a powerful question: What good is everything we do for Christ, if we don’t love one another?

This message takes an honest look at what biblical love really looks like, where we fall short, and why the answer isn’t simply trying harder—it’s looking to Jesus, the perfect picture of love.

Announcements:

School supply giveaway! Backpacks and school supplies will be provided to school-age children after service on Sunday September 6. Thank you to Bridge Church for making these available.

Monday morning prayer. Every Monday from 7:30 - 8:30 a.m. All are welcome. Start your week off right! Enter on the Schermerhorn St. side.

Hey family, worship is part of everyday life, not just what we do on Sundays. But Sundays are special because it's when we gather with our church family and enjoy beautiful worship music. hearing the word and sharing a meal afterward. Join us tomorrow at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St., when John Fils-Aime of Central Baptist Church is our guest speaker. We look forward to seeing you. Bring a friend! --Edwin
