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

Hey family, tomorrow's message will be from the book of Malachi, the last book in the Old Testament. You may never have dipped into this scripture, but on Sunday you will learn how powerful it is. The prophet Malachi delivers a message from God about hope and judgment--how God promises judgment for the wicked but also restoration and blessings for those who fear the Lord. Our guest speaker will be Pastor Walt Quick of Hope Church.

After the service, there will be an important congregational meeting about the future of our church. If you are a member, it's so important that you attend that meeting and cast your vote. I look forward to seeing you at 10 a.m. Children's Church will start at 10 as well. --Edwin

When pride rears its ugly head...

Hey family, this Sunday, Pastor Rob Lambert will be speaking on the rise and fall of King Solomon, whose rule began with a great gift from the Lord but who eventually turned away from God and fell into pride, idolatry, and disobedience. The message reminds us that God gives grace to the humble, and that pride often shows itself long before everything falls apart. Bring a friend to hear this important message!

We meet at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn in downtown Brooklyn. Kids' Church for ages 5-12 also meets at 10 a.m. I hope to see you there! --Edwin

Hey family, this Sunday is our final service of 2025. Pastor Chris will share a powerful and deeply personal message from 2 Corinthians 5:1–5—a passage that speaks to loss, longing, and the hope of something more. In a world that feels increasingly fragile, this message reminds us that life is temporary, but God’s promises are not. Whether you’re full of faith, full of questions, or somewhere in between, this is a Sunday you won’t want to miss.

We will also celebrate a baptism! A powerful picture of grace, new life, and the hope that anchors us as we step into a new year together. Invite a friend. Kids' Church for children ages 5-12 meets at 10 am also. --Edwin

Hey family, Christmas is right around the corner. People can experience the holidays differently. Some of us through the lens of loss, and others through the lens of hope. And many of us, a little mixture of both. Either way, you want to come to the joyful Christmas service we have planned for you. Kids ages 5-12 will have their own celebration, with a special message, games and crafts. We meet at 10 a.m., 360 Schermerhorn St.

In addition, there is an important meeting after service that all members should attend. It's vital to the future of our church, so please be there and cast your vote! --Edwin

Hey family, so grateful that we get to enjoy this Advent season together as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ. Remembering that God loved us enough to send his son is one of the hallmarks of the Christian life. This week we're going to continue in our series on Colossians, and you don't want to miss it. Bring a friend! We meet at 10 a.m. at 360 Schermerhorn St. in downtown Brooklyn. Kids 5-12 have their own service at the same time.
