Renaissance Church NYC

Episode 1 - Jamie and Lester Kim

The Kims have been married for almost 19 years, but their marriage certainly hasn't been without trials. They generously and honestly share about a really difficult season in their marriage and the things they learned about themselves and God in the process. They dropped so many gems that are helpful for all of us, whether we're married or hoping to be married one day. 

Real Love Conversations is a special collection of interviews released in conjunction with Renaissance Church’s Real Love sermon series. As we talk about how our relationships can thrive according to God’s model and direction, we’re also taking the opportunity to hear about diverse relationship experiences from some of the people who make up the Renaissance community. It’s going to get real!

The Myth of a Soulmate 

Real Love Series 

Jordan Rice 

1 John 4:7-11 

Destructive to relationships is the illusion that if we find our one true soul mate, everything wrong with us will be healed; but that makes the lover into God, and no human being can live up to that. In this message, we explore the things that make relationships imperfect— our sins, weaknesses, wounds, and damages.

Unity in the Kingdom

Kingdom Come Series

Brandon Cobb

Acts 6:1-7

Many corporations and institutions have grappled with the idea of diversity over the past couple of years, but this is nothing new for God. His kingdom and His Church were designed this way from the beginning. What does diverse community look like to God?
