Tears of Joy | Brooklyn May 28, 2025

Show notes

The life of a disciple is not an individual pursuit but a shared journey rooted in community. Just as the Israelites journeyed together toward Jerusalem, relying on God through both trials and triumphs, we too are called to a steady ascent toward Him. Psalm 126 reminds us that joy isn't a fleeting emotion tied to circumstances, it's the deep, enduring fruit of a life rooted in God's faithfulness. This Sunday Pastor Stephanie Rivas paints a picture of the life of faith as a pilgrimage. One where tears are sown in trust, and God brings forth a harvest of joy. Along this path, we are shaped by generosity, worship, and shared spiritual growth. This is the invitation: to live lives as living testimonies, spreading the light of God's joy through our communities and daily interactions. Together, we learn to see joy as a divine promise, cultivating resilience that testifies to God's unwavering goodness.

Praise the Name of the Lord | Manhattan May 19, 2025

Show notes

Worship isn't rooted in preference it's anchored in presence. Pastor Banning continues our journey through the Psalms of Ascent with a call to reorient our hearts around the One who's worthy.

You May Be Seated | ALLIN May 09, 2025

Show notes

Drawing from Hebrews 10, Pastor Ryan Schlachter unpacks the powerful truth of being seated with Christ. Reminding us that while Old Testament priests stood daily offering repeated sacrifices, Jesus made one final sacrifice and is now seated at the right hand of God. Because of this, we no longer strive for God's approval but serve from a place of rest. This shift frees us from guilt and shame, inviting us to live in the fullness of Christ's forgiveness and approach life's struggles from a place of already-won victory.

The Delight of Doubt | Manhattan Apr 29, 2025

Show notes

Doubt in our faith journey is often a misunderstood concept. When looking at the story of Thomas in John 20, we discover that doubt isn't the enemy of faith, but rather a catalyst for deeper belief. Our doubts often reveal our true desire for God, and that he does not neglect our questions and uncertainties, but actually welcomes them. Thomas' story encourages us to keep pursuing God and his mission even when we don't have all the answers, remembering that Jesus promised to be with us always. This perspective shift on doubt can revolutionize our approach to faith, allowing us to embrace our questions as part of our growth rather than feeling ashamed or discouraged by them. In this week's Manhattan message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter challenges us to see doubt as a tool that can strengthen our faith when we bring it to God and our community.
