This Sunday, guest speaker Dr. Robi Sonderegger, clinical psychologist renowned for taking psychology from the frontline to the home front, shared how understanding and extending forgiveness is central to our faith. Through forgiveness, we become fully alive, learning to reconcile our past in order to get on with our future.
This Sunday, at our Bushwick location, Pastor Mark Kelsey shared an empowering message on overcoming fear. Humanity has been plagued with fear since the garden, but in Christ, the cross enables us to live above fear. Through His death, He's given us access to the presence of God which destroys fear's power in our lives.
The way we are going to change a system of power is by Jesus's radical love. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached a message of hope with authenticity and courage about the important role of the church in our city and nation in light of the events that occurred last week. In a world of oppression and injustice, Jesus examples the way that we can bring to heaven to earth and take down the wall of hostility.
God has an unlimited supply of grace, and the more we use it, the more it multiplies. This Sunday in our HUMAN series, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached a key message on grace out of the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25. Jesus came to change our perspective of the Father so that we don't bury the Spirit of Grace but are free to enjoy life. As His church, we are released to be fully alive, fully joyful, if we dig up and invest His currency of grace.
