Sinopsis

The Bible reveals one irreducible fact: God is for broken people. This channel contains the sermon recordings of the preaching pastors at the New Community Church with services at Hackensack and Edgewater in New Jersey. Our vision is to be "A Church for the Broken" and we hope these messages will help the listeners come to know more intimately the God who is for those who don't have it all together. You can find more media content and information about the church at www.newmercy.cc.

Episodios

  • Sabbath and Rest

    24/07/2016 Duración: 53min

    God gives us the Sabbath to remember to him and to remember ourselves. Rest is essential for our humanity.

  • Our Greatest Need

    17/07/2016 Duración: 34min

    The crippled man and his friends had an outrageous faith. They knew that Jesus was the solution. Jesus saw their faith but addressed the spiritual issue before the physical. Our relationship with God will always be the first priority. Are we and our friends doing everything possible to put ourselves in the position to get right with God? Some of the points we will be exploring will be Jesus' ability to see our true need, what faith looks like when it is put in action, and the recognizing the link between spiritual and physical healing. Sermon is based on Mark 2:1-12.

  • Acts 29: Your Story

    10/07/2016 Duración: 50min

    "Acts is ultimately not a biography about Paul. It's not about any one person. It's a story about God and the advacement of his gospel. However, in being caught up in God's story, our stories have far greater meaning and distinctiveness. The book of Acts is actually one that is not finished. The ending is deliberately open ended to show that the story goes on through us until the return of Christ. Will we be faithful to that call?This final sermon will take some of the larger themes in the book of Acts and explore them for our story and context. These themes include: (1) Christians are called to be counter cultural and turn the fundamental values of the world upside down; (2) God can be taken at his word, and so despite circumstances, we can still be faithful and confident in God's purposes; (3) We are called to specific people, some of whom only we can help."

  • Broken and Chosen

    03/07/2016 Duración: 29min

    Our brokenness and weakness don't disqualify us, but rather qualify us for God's kingdom, because God chooses broken vessels so that His power may be displayed through them. He's the ultimate redeemer who is willing to display our whole lives so that His whole grace will be revealed. Sermon is based on Acts 22:1-21.

  • Idol Worship

    26/06/2016 Duración: 35min

    Idol worship is predominantly prevalent in today's modernized society and culture. Unaware of its power yet unfulfilling affects it has over people's lives, God calls His children to break free from the idols by turning to the cross and finding security and their ultimate identity as God's beloved children. Sermon is based on Acts 19:21-41.

  • Guidance & the Logic of God

    12/06/2016 Duración: 59min

    In chapter 16, we see God guiding Paul and his companions through a number of different ways and in a number of different scenarios. Sometimes God's will seems in line with human and cultural intution; however, we see in many instances what God wills runs counter to the will of human beings. But in the final analysis, when we view God's often perplexing lead and counter-cultural will in light of the gospel and the character of God, we see that he operates according to a very consistent divine logic. We would do well to trust his lead even when it doesn't always seem to make sense to us according to our assessment. We must learn to have faith in and to see the logic of God in all our circumstances especially with regard to the decisions we make.

  • Jesus, iPhones and Manure

    05/06/2016 Duración: 45min

    As 21st century Americans, we are conditioned by promises of instant gratification. We often live under the assumption that if there is something we want, we should go get it now. Unfortunately, we live with such false promises and demands in our relationships. What does Jesus teach us about purpose and patience in our relationships? Through this short parable, Jesus points us to a more patient way in our relationships.

  • The Affections of Our Hearts

    05/06/2016 Duración: 38min
  • Movement Sunday - International Justice Mission

    29/05/2016 Duración: 38min

    Pastor Richard Lee, a representative from International Justice Mission shares on their mission to protect the poor from violence in the developing world. The message is based from Mark 6:37-42.

  • Going Separate Ways

    22/05/2016 Duración: 43min

    There are good fights and there are bad fights, even among the church leaders. In today's passage, we see two prominent church leaders in disagreement and they decide to go separate ways. Sometimes our personalities and decisions come into conflict; but God still covers us in His grace and uses us.

  • Antioch

    15/05/2016 Duración: 44min

    We can learn what a vibrant church looks like through the lessons from the early church in Antioch. Sermon is based on Acts 11:19-30; 13:1-3.

  • To the Ends of the Earth

    08/05/2016 Duración: 34min

    The final piece of the Acts 1:8 prophecy is put into motion as Cornelius the Centurion becomes the first Gentile to be converted. Peter's cultural and traditional worldview becomes shattered through a vision in which God shows him that the gospel is for all people; thus allowing him to convert Cornelius. Likewise, for us to be obedient to God and be His witnesses to the ends of the earth, we must let the gospel transform our worldview. Sermon is based on Acts 10:1-48.

  • Least Likely

    01/05/2016 Duración: 31min

    In this ninth chapter of Acts, Luke tells the story of Saul's conversion; then, this story is told two more times later in the book (chapters 22 and 26). The conversion of Saul becomes a critical moment in Christian history, in which God transforms a wicked man to share and magnify the grace of God. Through Saul's new birth, we see how one's conversion becomes the beginning of God's extraordinary work with us sinners. Sermon is based on Acts 9:1-19.

  • Message That Gets You Killed

    24/04/2016 Duración: 49min

    Only one chapter before today's passage, Stephen gets ordained as one of the original deacons and faithfully serves those in need. However, soon thereafter, he gives a convicting sermon that gets him killed. Even when Stephen faces false accusations and a horrific death sentence, he is bold and confident in God's promise and love. What are we to learn from this first martyr? The Gospel can get you killed, and we are called to give our lives for this message. But before we can give our lives for Jesus, we must first live our lives for Him. Sermon is based on Acts 7:51-8:3.

  • A Safe God?

    17/04/2016 Duración: 54min

    The Bible teaches from cover to cover that God is holy and he is not one with whom we should trifle. He is the final arbiter and judge of sin, and all sin, in his eyes, is serious. However, God is also just, good, merciful, and loving. Therefore, however God chooses to deal with sin in any person's life, we can be sure that he has been both faithful and good in his action. It is important that Christians convey all of who God is. This is the real God, and it is the only God, as people will discover, that makes any sense if we are to have a world of both justice and mercy. Ordinary Christians can share all of who this extraoridnary God is, and in doing so, they will be conveying the true and living God as opposed to a fabrication of our ultimately finite and often sinful preferences. Sermon is based from Acts 4:32-5:11.

  • How God builds His Kingdom

    10/04/2016 Duración: 43min
  • A Power For All

    03/04/2016 Duración: 01h06min

    The Pentecost is a cosmic watershed event in salvation history that ranks up there with creation and the resurrection. God, on that day, did something new: he started the building of his new kingdom by pouring out the Holy Spirit (the very same Spirit that empowered Jesus) onto all believers. As Christians, we have access to the Spirit, and this Spirit is what enables us to do the works of God, from the mundane but foundational to the extraordinary. Sermon is based on Acts 1:1-14; 2:1-21

  • Follow Me...Again!

    27/03/2016 Duración: 45min

    Easter is about restoration. Jesus wants to restore us today! Sermon is based on John 21:1-19.

  • Fools for Christ

    20/03/2016 Duración: 51min

    Many people, of past and present, consider the Christian story and message as sheer foolishness. To believe and depend on a god who accepts suffering and dies on a cross seems irrational and ridiculous. However, as Jesus faces suffering and death, He reminds us that we are to be fools for Christ - that if our identity is found in God, our foolishness for Christ is actually wisdom. Sermon is based on 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.

  • Children and Heirs

    13/03/2016 Duración: 34min

    We have all grown up getting our identity by labeling ourselves and labeling others. Sometimes that label is bad and sometimes that label is good. Where do we get our labels? We are being lied to if we label ourselves by the things we have done or the things we do. When we believe in Jesus, and trust in the work of the cross, God labels us his children and heirs to the kingdom. We now have the right to call God our Father and we will explore all the rights and priveleges that come with this label. Sermon is based on Romans 8:9-17.
