    260516 David Hogan - The Need for Endurance

    David Hogan, accompanied by his wife Debbie and family, shares a series of somber yet powerful testimonies highlighting the necessity of endurance in our walk with God. Despite the loss and suffering that we experience in this life, our hearts must be steadfast in our call to make disciples and advance the Kingdom. Brother David reminds us that trials are the training ground for perfection, and true joy is found not in avoiding conflict, but in the unwavering reality that Jesus is King. James 1; Luke 5; Philippians 4; Romans 6; Psalm 62 NYC Saturday Service with David Hogan | May 16, 2026

    260524 Endowed with Dignity

    While often overlooked, dignity is an attribute that God expects us to not only embrace but to grow in over time. A lion is endowed with a certain majesty that is not dependent on its environment. In the same way, the Lord has made us and crowned us with a certain glory that is not defined by our circumstances. The more we acknowledge this, the more we are able to walk in this god-given dignity. It’s not just a garment that we put on and off, it’s an immutable trait that defines who we are as sons and daughters of God. Matthew 22; Proverbs 30; 1 Timothy 2; Psalm 8; Ephesians 4; Judges 6 NYC Sunday Sermon | May 24, 2026

    260517 Q&A with David and Debbie Hogan

    During this Q&A session, David Hogan, and his wife Debbie, share with us stories, testimonies, and wisdom that they have gained over decades serving the Lord in Mexico. The Hogans reflect on the nuances of balancing ministry and family, the personal costs and discipline required for a life obedient to God, and the importance of yielding to God’s sovereign will even when things do not go the way we hoped. Psalm 62 NYC Sunday Service | May 17, 2026

    260510 The Catalyst of Injustice

    Stories throughout the Bible show us that spiritual inheritance is often gained through a breakthrough triggered by injustice. The promise spoken to Abraham was not only realized because of his faith, but because of the injustice that his descendants experienced. The persistent widow received an answer not just because she prayed, but because she demanded justice where it was lacking. Knowing that trials are not setbacks but legal anchors required to possess the land, we should rejoice when we experience them for our redemption is at hand. Hebrews 11; Genesis 15; Luke 18; Psalm 89; Luke 21 NYC Sunday Sermon | May 10, 2026

    260503 The Restraint of the Lord

    Freedom is merely the foundation of faith; maturity comes through the restraint of the Lord that narrows our path. Unlike King Uzziah, who overstepped his calling, when we embrace God's specific harness on our lives, it prevents self-destruction. By choosing this narrow way over broad possibilities, we move from unguided freedom to becoming useful servants of divine purpose. Galatians 5; Proverbs 29; 2 Chronicles 26; Matthew 5; 1 Chronicles 4; Acts 21; Isaiah 7; 1 Samuel 16 NYC Sunday Sermon | May 3, 2026

    260426 Live to Please Him

    The story of King’s Saul disobedience reveals to us what God means by desiring someone “after his own heart.” By disregarding Samuel’s instructions, Saul demonstrated that he had elevated the opinions of men over the pleasure of God—the exact opposite of what the Lord is looking for. Like Nehemiah, who did not let political, social, or religious pressures distract him from his assignment, we are called to work and to live to please none other but God. 1 Samuel 13; Nehemiah 6; Galatians 1; John 12 Spring Retreat 2026 Sunday Sermon | April 26, 2026

    260419 The Beauty of Wisdom

    True wisdom is not transferable knowledge but a spirit that cries out in every facet of life, inviting us to learn from our mistakes and think like God. The more we do so, the more we reflect the beauty of God’s character. Just as the Queen of Sheba was left breathless not by Solomon’s arguments, but by the manifest beauty and order of his court, we are called to build lives that trigger a response to the glory of God in others. 1 Corinthians 6; 1 Kings 10; Proverbs 3; James 1; Proverbs 1; Colossians 2; Psalm 37; James 3 NYC Sunday Sermon | April 19, 2026

    260405 Free to Choose

    True spiritual maturity is found in moving beyond a relationship with God defined by needs and wants to one anchored in free will and choice. While God faithfully meets our basic needs to deliver us from the "slavery" of survival, His ultimate desire is for us to relate to Him as free sons and daughters who act out of voluntary devotion rather than necessity. Just as Nehemiah chose to rebuild Jerusalem without a direct divine command or personal crisis, we are invited to exercise a godly ambition that originates in our own hearts. Matthew 6; Deuteronomy 15; Nehemiah 1-2; 1 Corinthians 9; Philippians 1 NYC Sunday Sermon | April 5, 2026
