Reunion Church NYC

Russel continues the message of renewal by exploring how the Bible, God's word, is what prepares us for joining God in God's renewing work. In today's sermon, we explore four questions: What is the purpose of the Bible? What is the Bible? Why does the Bible exist? How do we read the Bible?

For Vision Sunday, Russel begins by talking about the beginnings of Reunion Church and what God's calling has looked like. Russel then talks about the hope brought by joining God in His renewing work and how we can join God in His desire to make all things new.

As the church prepares for Vision Sunday next week, Russel preaches what is necessary to create a vision for the church - abiding in Jesus. To abide in Jesus, we must follow the example of Christ. Russel breaks down how abiding in Jesus leads to restful union and fruitfulness, and can be done through a life of prayer.

Russel kicks off the New Year preaching about one of the highlights for January - Winter Dinner Parties. Russel spends some time talking about how Jesus used gathering around the table as a place of recognition, mutuality, and celebration.

Russel continues the Advent series by preaching over the next Advent theme - Joy. Russel speaks about how Advent Joy is assured and not circumstantial, and how Jesus coming down to be with us and dying on the cross has allowed us to ask God to give us the gift of joy.

Today we are joined by special guest Pastor Guy Wasko, the Church Partnership Director in the Northeast with Compassion International. Guy continues the Advent series by preaching about the next theme - Peace. In the sermon, we explore how God's Advent Peace is present with us, calms the storms in our lives, and restores us.

Pastor Russel continues the Advent series by exploring the topic of the first Advent week - Hope. Specifically, how to wait for the coming of Jesus with eagerness and patience, even in the midst of suffering. A couple of questions asked are: how will we slow down? How will we wait for the coming of Jesus?

In today's sermon, Russel begins the series on Advent -the coming of Christ- by speaking about giving thanks: "If the essence of God is grace, then the work of a Christian is gratitude." Russel then speaks about the thieves of gratitude and how we can both live in grief and gratitude in certain scenarios.

In this sermon, we are joined by honored guest Brandon Cobb, a pastor of a new church plant in North Jersey called Eden Church. Pastor Brandon shares about reconciliation by sympathizing with others' weaknesses through the story of Philemon with Onesimus, just as God has sympathized with our own weaknesses and reconciled our relationship with Him through Jesus.

Russel continues our Good News Gospel series in the 4th part - Restoration. In today's sermon, we learn about how everyone, regardless of their calling to evangelize, can join in on sharing the gospel by leading lives that invoke curiosity about Jesus.
