The Gallery Church of New York Podcast

This Sunday we will take a look at one of the most central parts of our service -- worship through song. What is the biblical view of worship (in large) and the view of worship with respect to singing? What are the different postures of worship during the time of singing? How does one prepare themselves for this part of the service?

This Sunday we will look at the paradigm of prayer set by Jesus Christ in the Sermon on the Mount. We will focus on Christ's corporate calling to his followers to join God in the advancement and extension of the Kingdom of God through prayer with and for one another. Within this calling, we will also touch on how each prayer practice at Gallery church has this calling at its core.

This Sunday we take a look at the practice of breaking bread together as a community when we partake of the Lord’s Supper. Jesus, before his crucifixion, has a final Passover meal with His disciples. This Jewish meal took on new meaning when Jesus declared that the bread and wine was symbolic of his broken body and blood. Jesus would instruct his disciples to carry out the practice of this meal often as a reminder of Jesus’ death, resurrection and return.

We continue our series, Gathering Together, taking a look at the practices of the church. For this sermon, we will take a look at the importance of the corporate gathering, specifically on Sundays. The practice of the gathering together on Sunday dates back to the early church in the book of Acts and has continued ever since. A recent Pew study in 2019 showed that attendance at church on Sunday is at an all time low, yet scripture calls us not to neglect the meeting together.

This Sunday, we come to the last characteristic of the fruit of the Spirit, self-control. We live in a culture that celebrates one’s identity through overindulgence and giving into whatever desires we have. Yet, scripture tells us that to be full of the Holy Spirit is to be a people of self-control. We tend to think that means denying ourselves of all pleasure and just saying “No!” through sheer will power. The Apostle Paul invites us to see how biblical self-control is more than just will power, but a disciplined life rooted in a healthy relationship with Jesus Christ.

This Sunday, MJ unpacks the spiritual fruit of meekness as we
continue our series on how the life of the Holy Spirit transforms
us into the image of God. Meekness or gentleness is often
confused with weakness, but is actually an Holy Spirit
empowered orientation of our heart. Paul shows us how we
must be a branch attached to the vine of Christ in order to be
gentle in a God inspired way.

This Sunday, we explore the spiritual fruit of kindness as we
continue our series on how the life of the Holy Spirit transforms
us into the image of God. Kindness is not word most people use
to describe Christians or society at large right now, yet it is the
type of person we are called to be. What does Christ-centered
kindness look like in the 21st century? We often equate kindness
with weakness, but Paul will show us how we can be centered
on truth (a firm core), but still be kind in our interactions.

This Sunday, Stan unpacks the spiritual fruit of patience as we continue our series on how the life of the Holy Spirit transforms us into the image of God. In a culture where immediacy is worshiped, Christians are called to exhibit patience — reflecting our God who is patient with us. How does the experience of salvation in Jesus enable us to be patient towards others? We will read from James and Peter that God’s work in our own lives is not immediate, but a process that requires patience.

Continuing our series exploring how the life of the Holy Spirit transforms us into the image of God, this Sunday we take a look at joy as a fruit of the Spirit. Joy, unlike happiness, is not based on circumstances. Instead, Jesus is the source and supplier of our joy, and by following the example of his life and death on the cross, we can endure trials and tribulations with joy.
