Finding Your People

10.25.2026 | Made For More | In this week’s sermon by Paul Yoo, we explore the biblical call to community as detailed in Ephesians 4:1-6. Moving from the "high theology" of the letter's first three chapters, this message grounds our faith in the practical, often challenging realities of life within the church. Key Points: The Calling to Community: As followers of Jesus, we are called to a unified body that is not based on shared hobbies or similar backgrounds, but on our common relationship with Christ.The Realities that Unite Us: We are bound by seven fundamental affirmations of oneness, including one body, one spirit, and one faith, which transcend individual differences.The Work of Preserving Unity: Unity in the church is a gift from God that requires active effort. We maintain this through intentional humility, gentleness, and long-suffering patience toward one another.Questions Addressed: How can I find my "people" in a city where relationships often feel transactional?Why is the church necessary for my personal spiritual maturity?How do I maintain unity with people who are different from me or who irritate me?Is there a larger story that can unite people from all different backgrounds today?

A Renewed Inner Life

10.18.2026 | Made For More | In this week’s sermon by Robert Elkin, we explore how the gospel and the person of Jesus Christ bring healing and renewal to our invisible, inner lives—our thoughts, emotions, and spiritual longings. Regardless of your background or generation, Jesus offers a transformative love that addresses our deepest needs.

What It Means to Be Truly Alive

10.04.2026 | Made For More | In this week’s sermon by David Lee, we explore the transformative power of the Gospel as presented in Ephesians 2:1-10. Moving beyond the cultural obsession with self-improvement, this message unpacks the profound reality of spiritual death and the miraculous, life-giving power of God’s grace. Key Points: The Bible describes the human condition apart from God as being "spiritually dead," which is a state of being disconnected from the true source of life, rather than merely a moral failure.True life, or zoey, is only found in a restored relationship with God through Jesus Christ.Our salvation is a gift of God’s grace, not the result of personal effort or good works.Believers are described as God’s "handiwork" or masterpiece, created for a purpose that reflects His kindness and grace to the world.Common Questions Answered: What does it actually mean to be spiritually "dead"?How can I truly be made alive?Is Christianity just a system of self-improvement?What is the difference between justice, mercy, and grace?

Artificial vs. Resurrection Power

09.20.2026 | Made For More | In this week’s sermon, we explore the biblical concept of power and how it contrasts with the artificial, often deceptive, powers we lean on in our modern world. Moving from momentum to maturity, this teaching examines the Apostle Paul’s prayer for the church in Ephesians and what it truly means to grasp the "incomparably great power" available to believers. Key Points: The Purpose of Power: Humans inherently seek control and tools—such as technology and AI—to achieve a vision of the "good life," but these are often just temporary fixes for deeper desires.The Problem of Power: Any human-generated power, when treated as an ultimate source of hope, becomes a form of idolatry that promises much but eventually fails or leads to demise.The Promise of Resurrection Power: The true power God offers is not impersonal or corruptible; it is the same mighty strength that raised Christ from the dead, reigning far above all earthly authorities and working for the ultimate good of the church.Questions Answered: What is the purpose of power in our lives, and why do we look to things like technology for hope?What does the Bible mean by idolatry in a modern, technological context?How can we be sure that God’s power is actually working for our benefit in difficult circumstances?Why is the resurrection considered the final proof of God’s ultimate authority and love?

What does it mean to be a Christian?

09.13.2026 | In this week’s sermon by David Lee, we explore the profound identity and purpose found in the book of Ephesians. The message challenges the misconception that being a Christian is a performance-based process, arguing instead that it is an objective, God-given status received through faith in Christ. Key points include: Identity over Process: Christianity is not about reaching the end of a long list of requirements; it is a status change initiated by God’s love that cannot be lost through human performance.Spiritual Blessings: The focus of faith is not on what we lose or give up, but on the richness of the spiritual blessings—such as redemption, forgiveness, and adoption into God’s family—that we gain in Christ.Union with Christ: We are united to Jesus in both his death and resurrection, meaning his accomplishments and his status as the beloved Son become ours.Living as Missionaries: The church is called to be a new humanity that embodies hope, grace, and unity for the rest of the world.Questions addressed: What does it actually mean to be a Christian?How do I know if I am truly a Christian?Does becoming a Christian mean I have to give up all my joy and fun?How can I have assurance of God’s love regardless of my circumstances?

The World Needs More Priests

09.06.2026 | In our series Summer Mixtapes, this week’s sermon by David Plant, we explore the profound need for a "priestly presence" in our modern culture, particularly in a fast-paced urban environment like Brooklyn. Key Points: Defining Priestliness: Moving beyond vocational roles, a priestly presence involves standing as a mediator for others, engaging with empathy, and intentionally sharing in the pain and pace of our neighbors.The Model of Jesus: Examining Mark 1:35-39, we see how Jesus balanced external demands by prioritizing time with his Father, allowing him to discern his true calling over mere urgency.The Power of Prayer: True formation happens when we allow God to shape us, enabling us to act with clarity and compassion rather than relying on our own grit.Common Questions Answered: What does it mean to live as a "priest" in my daily workplace or neighborhood?How can I discern the difference between the urgencies of the day and my actual calling?Why does God allow suffering, and how should we respond as members of a "royal priesthood"?How do I maintain a consistent prayer life in a demanding, busy city?

Ordinary People, Extraordinary God

08.30.2026 | In our series Summer Mixtapes, this week’s sermon by Charles Chung, we explore the transformative power of the early church as depicted in the book of Acts. By examining the story of Peter and John, we are challenged to live out our faith through compassion, conviction, and courage in our modern world. Key Points: Compassion over Convenience: True Christian compassion requires an unhurried life and the willingness to be inconvenienced to serve our neighbors.The Nature of Conviction: Acting on faith often leads to two outcomes: opposition from those threatened by the truth and conversion in those who find hope.Ordinary People, Extraordinary God: God frequently uses seemingly ordinary, unschooled individuals to accomplish extraordinary work, proving that courage is not self-generated but a gift from the Holy Spirit.Questions Addressed: How can we effectively share our faith in a world that is curious but hesitant about the church?Why is compassion considered the central currency of the Christian life?How do we maintain courage when facing opposition or feelings of being unequipped?What does it mean for God to use ordinary people to do extraordinary things?
