Hey family, many of us stopped going to church when we were younger because of that very perception--church folks stink. And in many cases, the church deserves it. We've been dysfunctional or we've hurt each other. And as a result, many of us have just recently started to come around again. In our current series in the Book of Colossians, we're learning how the new identity we gain as part of the family of Christ affects everything in our lives. In the next few weeks we're going to talk about what it means to relate to our spouses, our kids, our work, our friends as part of our new identity. You don't want to miss it. (If you do miss a service, catch up on our YouTube channel. Here's the link.)

We meet at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn St. Children's Church for kids ages 4-12 meets at 10 a.m. as well. --Edwin

Important announcement:

There will be an important congregational meeting immediately after service on Sunday, March 1. If you care about the future of this church, please plan to join us on that day. Thank you!

Hey family, every now and again, when churches work together, they have an opportunity to be able to influence each other and help each other grow in the kingdom of God. That's been happening with our church, and tomorrow morning it's happening in an interesting way. We're having a pulpit swap. Pulpit swap is when a pastor comes from another church and I go to their church and they preach in our church and I preach in their church, and we hope that all the people are blessed as a result. So this Sunday we want to welcome David Lee, pastor of First Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn. We're excited to have him at our church, and I'm excited to go preach at his church. Please come! Bring and friend and hear the gospel!

We meet at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn in downtown Brooklyn. Kids' church starts at 10 a.m. as well for children ages 4-12. --Edwin

What every healthy relationship needs

Hey family, there's something that every healthy relationship needs--that if it doesn't have, everything crumbles and falls apart. If this component doesn't exist in your relationship, you can know that you are either on the road to breakup, or in for a really long and painful journey. What is this component? Forgiveness.

This week we're going to talk about what it means to forgive in the family of God, and how that overflows and translates into our relationships. No matter what happens, we're going to need to be forgiven, we're going to need to forgive. Let's learn how to do that together. Bring your family, bring a friend, bring your dog! (Well, maybe not your dog.) We meet at 10 a.m. Sundays at 360 Schermerhorn St. Kids' Church starts at 10 a.m. as well for children 4-12.

Hey family, there's a famous song that goes, "People who need people are the luckiest people in the world." Barbra Streisand reached #1 on the Billboard chart with those lyrics, and the song became a cultural phenomenon. And Barbra was right. We all need other people. The problem is that when we come into Christian community, we bring with us our own biases and struggles, family issues, and all of that. How can we get along better with our spouses, our family, our church family?

Coming this Sunday, we're going to talk about the importance of community and how the Bible instructs us to get along. We meet at 10 am at 360 Schermerhorn St.--bring your kids and grandkids! Children's Church starts at 10 a.m. as well. And if you missed last week's message, here's a link. Take a listen and share it with others. --Edwin

Hey family, perhaps you've heard one of those wonderful fairy tales where a peasant girl finds out that she's actually the princess of the kingdom. The job of her caregivers is to teach her to walk like a princess, speak like a princess, act like a princess in every way. It's just the same when we're called by the King and adopted into the family of God. In this new family God gives us his Spirit and new life and forgiveness of sins and then he trains us and teaches us and encourages us to be who we are: sons and daughters of the Most High God. This week we're going to talk about how this powerful truth affects every area of our lives.

I hope to see you Sunday. We meet at 360 Schermerhorn St. in downtown Brooklyn. Bring a friend, bring your family, bring your kids! Children's Church starts at 10 a.m. also. And don't forget--you never need to miss a sermon again. Just visit our YouTube Channel to catch up on previous messages. --Edwin
